In gavinha/TitanCNA: Subclonal copy number and LOH prediction from whole genome sequencing of tumours

TitanCNA

TitanCNA a R/Bioconductor package for analyzing subclonal copy number alterations (CNA) and loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in whole genome and exome sequencing of tumours.

News

(See NEWS for previous version notes)

May 30, 2019 - TitanCNA version 1.23.1

Addressed the issue of RangedData being deprecated by converting code to use GRanges from the GenomicRanges package. New or modified functions: - wigToGRanges: to load WIG files and store in GRanges object. - correctIntegerCN(): performs allelic copy number (major/minor CN) adjustment.

August 9, 2018

Improved parameter inference by handling errors and allowing EM to continue until convergence. This fixes runs that previously would fail because samples had very low tumor content.

July 26, 2018

Snakemake workflow for 10X Genomics whole genome sequencing data is now included in another Git repo. https://github.com/gavinha/TitanCNA_10X_snakemake

TitanCNA version 1.17.1 changes

1) New functions: - correctIntegerCN(): recomputes high-level copy number that is capped by the maximum CN state. Performs two tasks - (1) correct log ratio based on purity and ploidy, and then convert to decimal CN value; (2) Correct bins and segments in which the original predicted integer copy number was assigned the maximum CN state; bins and segments for all of chromosome X are also corrected, if provided in the input.

2) Modified functions: - plotSegmentMedians() and plotCNlogRByChr(): includes argument to show color-coding for corrected copy number; defaults to TRUE for this argument.

3) Removed functions/manual/dependencies: - extractAlleleReadCounts() - Rsamtools dependency

TitanCNA version 1.15.0 changes

1) 10X Genomics analysis - Please see scripts for instructions on running the 10X Genomics analysis.

2) New script to help select optimal solutions. Please see scripts/R_scripts

3) Added snakemake pipeline for entire TITAN workflow Please see scripts/snakemake.

4) New function: - plotSegmentMedians() - loadHaplotypeAlleleCounts(): loads input allele counts with phasing information - plotHaplotypeFraction(): results from 10X Genomics WGS data with phasing of haplotype blocks

5) Modified features (no changes for user-accessible functions): - updateParameters: coordinate descent estimate of ploidy update uses previously estimated normal parameter from the same corodinate descent iteration ; leads to faster convergence

Installation

Install TitanCNA R package from github

From within R-3.3.2 or higher,

install.packages("devtools")
library(devtools)
install_github("gavinha/TitanCNA")

Install TitanCNA from Bioconductor

From within R-3.3.2 or higher,

if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly=TRUE))
    install.packages("BiocManager")
BiocManager::install("TitanCNA")

Install other dependencies

1. Install the HMMcopy suite Please follow instructions on the HMMcopy GitHub https://github.com/shahcompbio/hmmcopy_utils.

2. Install ichorCNA Please follow instructions on the ichorCNA GitHub Wiki https://github.com/broadinstitute/ichorCNA.

Usage

R scripts are provided to run the R component of the TITAN analysis using the TitanCNA R/Bioconductor package. Please go to the scripts directory and look at the README there for more details.

Snakemake workflow

A snakemake is also provided in this repo. This workflow will run the TITAN a set of tumour-normal pairs, starting from the BAM files and generating TitanCNA outputs. It will also perform model selection at the end of the workflow to choose the optimal ploidy and clonal cluster solutions.

Vignette in TitanCNA R package

The PDF of the vignette can be accessed from R

library(TitanCNA)
browseVignettes(package = "TitanCNA")

The path of the file can also be located using

pathToInstall <- system.file(package = "TitanCNA")
pathToPdf <- paste0(pathToInstall, "/int/doc/TitanCNA.pdf)

The example provided will reproduce Figure 1 in the manuscript. However, it will be slightly different because the example is only based on the analysis of chr2, not genome-wide.
