CLONET: CLONality Estimate in Tumors


DESCRIPTION

 CLONET Pipeline


INTRODUCTION

CLONET is a collection of R scripts that allows:

  • computing global DNA admixture (1-purity) and ploidy of tumor DNA samples (each with matched normal sample) from sequencing data (WGS, WES, targeted)
  • computing clonality of each somatic aberration, including somatic copy number aberrations, point mutations, and structural rearrangements
  • nominatig the temporal relation among somatic aberrations and building evolution maps

CLONET scripts have the following common syntaxt:

CLONET.scriptName.R <ConfigurationFile.R>

Folders are organized as follows:

CLONET
 -> CLONET.R 
 -> Docs
 -> Examples
 -> Functions
 -> Tools

CLONET.R is the main R script required to compute global DNA admixture, ploidy and clonality of segmented data.
The Docs folder contains this document.
The Examples folder contains a folder Small that includes a complete run of all the CLONET scripts.
The Functions folder contains all the functions used by CLONET.
The Tools folder contains R scripts to perform point mutations (PM) analysis, structural rearrangement (RR) analysis and tumor evolution path analysis.

REQUIREMENTS

CLONET requires Linux kernel >= 2.6.15. CLONET requires R >= 2.7 and the following packages, parallel, dgof, sets, and pso, igraph, reshape2. CLONET requires global folder names. CLONET recommends ASEQ tool to generate initial pileup analysis (binaries provided).
