extractSignatures: Extract mutational signatures from trinucleotide context.

In PoisonAlien/maftools: Summarize, Analyze and Visualize MAF Files

Extract mutational signatures from trinucleotide context.

Description

Decompose a matrix of 96 substitution classes into n signatures.

Usage

extractSignatures(
  mat,
  n = NULL,
  plotBestFitRes = FALSE,
  parallel = 4,
  pConstant = NULL
)

Arguments

mat	Input matrix of diemnsion nx96 generated by trinucleotideMatrix
n	decompose matrix into n signatures. Default NULL. Tries to predict best value for n by running NMF on a range of values and chooses based on cophenetic correlation coefficient.
plotBestFitRes	plots consensus heatmap for range of values tried. Default FALSE
parallel	Default 4. Number of cores to use.
pConstant	A small positive value to add to the matrix. Use it ONLY if the functions throws an non-conformable arrays error

Details

This function decomposes a non-negative matrix into n signatures.

Value

a list with decomposed scaled signatures, signature contributions in each sample and NMF object.
