Description
The Biomuta pipeline gathers mutation data from various sources and combines them into a single dataset under common field structure.
The sources included in BioMuta are:
- The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA)
- Clinical Interpretation of Variants in Cancer (CIVIC)
- Catalogue of Somatic Mutations in Cancer (COSMIC)
- International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC) (retired)
BioMuta gathers mutation data for the following cancers:
- Urinary Bladder Cancer (DOID:11054)
- Breast Cancer (DOID:1612)
- Colorectal (DOID:9256)
- Esophageal Cancer (DOID:5041)
- Head and Neck Cancer (DOID:11934)
- Kidney Cancer (DOID:263)
- Liver Cancer (DOID:3571)
- Lung Cancer (DOID:1324)
- Prostate Cancer (DOID:10283)
- Stomach Cancer (DOID:10534)
- Thyroid Gland Cancer (DOID:1781)
- Uterine Cancer (DOID:363)
- Cervical Cancer (DOID:4362)
- Brain Cancer (DOID:1319)
- Hematologic Cancer (DOID:2531)
- Adrenal Gland Cancer (DOID:3953)
- Pancreatic Cancer (DOID:1793)
- Ovarian Cancer (DOID:2394)
- Skin Cancer (DOID:4159)
Running the Pipeline
To run the BioMuta pipeine, download the scripts from the HIVE Lab github repo: GW HIVE BioMuta Repository.
Pipeline Overview
Step 1: Download
In the downloader step, mutation lists will be downloaded from each source. Refer to each individual source below for downloading instructions.
Download: TCGA
There are 2 parts to obtaining data from TCGA:
1. Primary TCGA data
- Available at NCI Genomic Data Commons.
- Accessible through the ISB-CGC Big Query repository (more info TBA).
2. TCGA controlled-access data
- Hosted at dbGaP. For access, see Sharepoint (link TBA).
Download: CIViC
Download: COSMIC
Step 2: Convert
In the convert step, all resources are formatted to the Biomuta standard for both data and field structure.
Step 3: Combine
In the combined step, all resources are combined into a master dataset.
