Dear Gunter, and all,

Please may I ask for an advice regarding the use of cn.MOPS on WES data containing TUMOR-GERMLINE paired samples. I wrote the following piece of R code (below) -- please would you let me know if it looks fine, or if it needs any modifications.

#####

segments <- read.table("hg38_refFlat.longest.isoform",sep="\t",as.is=TRUE) gr <- GRanges(segments[,1],IRanges(segments[,2],segments[,3])) TUMOR <- "zzz2.bam" GERMLINE <- "zzz1.bam" tumor <- getSegmentReadCountsFromBAM(TUMOR, GR=gr, parallel=1) normal <- getSegmentReadCountsFromBAM(GERMLINE, GR=gr, parallel=1) ##### X <- tumor values(X) <- cbind(values(tumor),values(normal)) head(X)

#####

resCNMOPS <- exomecn.mops(X) resCNMOPS <- calcIntegerCopyNumbers(resCNMOPS)

Hello Bogdan,

The code is ok until "exomecn.mops". In a tumor vs. reference setting, I recommend to use "referencecn.mops", which also works for exome sequencing data.

Regards,

Günter

Dear Gunter, thank you very much for your suggestions. If I may add, would the following R code be suitable for WES analysis on TUMOR-GERMLINE pairs ? I am including below the full R code that I have  put recently together :

library(cn.mops)
library(parallel)
library(snow)
library(RUnit)
library(BiocParallel)

# registered()
# register(MulticoreParam(workers = 1))
#### args <- commandArgs(TRUE)

TUMOR <- "zzz2.bam"        
GERMLINE <- "zzz1.bam"

tumor <- getSegmentReadCountsFromBAM(TUMOR, GR=gr, parallel=1)
normal <- getSegmentReadCountsFromBAM(GERMLINE, GR=gr, parallel=1)

X <- tumor
values(X) <- cbind(values(tumor),values(normal))

#### NORMALIZE the DATA .. do we use POISSON normalization for exome sequencing ?

X.mode <- normalizeGenome(X, normType="poisson")

### Parameter settings for tumor:
### - norm=0, because we already have normalized
### - integer copy numbers higher than 8 allowed
### - DNAcopy as segmentation algorithm.

## the position 1 is for TUMOR, the position 2 is for NORMAL.

ref_analysis_norm0 <- referencecn.mops(X.mode[,1], X.mode[,2],
    norm=0,
    I = c(0.025, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64),
    classes = c("CN0", "CN1", "CN2", "CN3", "CN4", "CN5", "CN6", "CN7","CN8","CN16","CN32","CN64","CN128"),

resCNMOPS <- calcIntegerCopyNumbers(ref_analysis_norm0)
resCNMOPS <- cn.mops:::.replaceNames(resCNMOPS, basename(TUMOR) ,"TUMOR")
