Tab delimited list of BAM files [sample_name, normal_bam, tumor_bam] (See Description)

maf-file Text

List of mutations in MAF format

output-file Text

Results of mutation-relation tool

OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS

mutation-matrix-file Text

Optionally store the sample-vs-gene matrix used during calculations.

skip-non-coding Boolean

Skip non-coding mutations from the provided MAF file

Default value 'true' if not specified

Skip silent mutations from the provided MAF file

Default value 'true' if not specified

noskip-silent Boolean

Make skip-silent 'false'

DESCRIPTION

This module parses a list of mutations in MAF format and attempts to determine relationships among mutated genes. It employs a correlation test to see whether or not any two genes are mutated concurrently (positive correlation) or mutually exclusively (negative correlation). Because of the possibility of largely varying numbers of mutations present in different genes, P-values are calculated using restricted permutations that take into account the distribution of mutation counts among the samples. In the output file, 'pand' is the P-value for concurrent mutation events, and 'pexc' is the P-value for mutually exclusive mutation events.
