Mutational Signature

clj-deconstruct-sigs is a Clojure port of deconstructSigs.

What are Mutational Signatures?

You can find a comprehensive description here. In short, treating an individual's somatic mutation pattern as a combination of known distinct signatures could lead to insights of cancer's characteristics.

Usage

The main function is clj-deconstruct-sigs.core/which-signatures, which takes a sample tumor and a reference signatures matrix and returns a map with the following keys.

:seed-idx - Index of the signature that was used as the initial seed
:weights  - A map of weight indices to weight.
:weights-with-names  - A map of weight that associated signature names as key on behalf of indices.
:product - matrix product of :weights and the provided signatures
:unknown - 1 minus the sum of weights
:diff - element wise difference of the provided sample tumor and the product
:error-sum - Square root of the sum of the element wise square of :diff. Indicates how close the :product is from the original input

Here is a REPL session that adds more context.
