File Format: Signatures (Cancer Type Map) - lrgr/explosig-docker GitHub Wiki
The cancer type map file helps to determine which signatures to select based on a selected cancer type. This file is specific to a "signature group", so the signatures referenced within must all be found in the group.
The cancer type map file contains the following columns:
Signature: The name of a signature.Oncotree Code: A code from the oncotree tool closest to the cancer type. At the time of writing this document the oncotree version isoncotree_2018_11_01Cancer Type: A human-readable name for the cancer type.Category Type: The category type of the signature. (e.g.SBS_96)
A signature can be repeated in multiple rows if it is active in multiple cancer types.
An example of this file is as follows:
| Signature | Oncotree Code | Cancer Type | Category Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | MBL | Medulloblastoma | SBS_96 |
| 5 | MBL | Medulloblastoma | SBS_96 |
| 8 | MBL | Medulloblastoma | SBS_96 |
