Hi!

I have tried to test Clomial R package to infer the clonal structure of panel sequenced tumor samples but I am facing some problems when trying to run my samples with commands. I have tried to debug it but so far I have not been able to solve this. I believe that reason for this odd behavior is related to my low variant coverage (see example below). To confirm this, I am kindly requesting some technical support to help me overcome this problem. Package seems to be easy to use and I would be more than happy to utilize it in my research project.

1- Two samples are not enough to infer the clonal composition.

2- There are 4 samples in the data you sent me by email. The mutation ratios seem to be very low (~0.01).

plot(rowSums(Dc), rowSums(Dt),xlim=c(0,1000), ylim=c(0,30))

  

Your data has 169 mutations, and with only 4 samples, it's not easy to fit the binomial model to the data. The system is underconditioned. I could run Clomial using 50 random mutations with no error:

ClomialRes50 <- Clomial(Dc=Dc[1:50,], Dt=Dt[1:50,], maxIt=4, C=4, binomTryNum=2)

I recommend increasing the number of samples if possible. If not, filter the mutations. Say, include those mutations with a frequency of at least 2% in at least one of the samples.

Thank you Habil for your response and a thorough explanation! I have tried Clomial with a few sample sets where the number of samples varies between 2 and 5 samples per patient case. I now see that the number of samples is a major problem in my case and I'm afraid that I am not able to increase the number of samples due to nature of our study.

I will keep trying to run Clomial with sample sets where the number of samples is highest. I also agree that the mutation ratio (allele frequency) of my mutation data is very low and we will try to filter the rarest mutations as you suggested and try to run Clomial with this input.

You're welcome! I am interested in Clomial performance if you will have a way to assess it.
