Journal ArticleDOI

Maftools: efficient and comprehensive analysis of somatic variants in cancer.

TL;DR: An R Bioconductor package, Maftools, is described, which offers a multitude of analysis and visualization modules that are commonly used in cancer genomic studies, including driver gene identification, pathway, signature, enrichment, and association analyses, and is independent of larger alignment files.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pan-cancer analysis of whole genomes

Peter J. Campbell, +1332 more
- 06 Feb 2020 - 
TL;DR: The flagship paper of the ICGC/TCGA Pan-Cancer Analysis of Whole Genomes Consortium describes the generation of the integrative analyses of 2,658 whole-cancer genomes and their matching normal tissues across 38 tumour types, the structures for international data sharing and standardized analyses, and the main scientific findings from across the consortium studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Computing topological parameters of biological networks

TL;DR: The versatile Cytoscape plugin NetworkAnalyzer computes and displays a comprehensive set of topological parameters, which includes the number of nodes, edges, and connected components, the network diameter, radius, density, centralization, heterogeneity, and clustering coefficient, and the characteristic path length.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comprehensive analysis of DNA methylation data with RnBeads

TL;DR: RnBeads is a software tool for large-scale analysis and interpretation of DNA methylation data, providing a user-friendly analysis workflow that yields detailed hypertext reports (http://rnbeads.mpi-inf.mpg).
Journal ArticleDOI

Topological analysis and interactive visualization of biological networks and protein structures

TL;DR: This protocol describes three workflows based on the NetworkAnalyzer and RINalyzer plug-ins for Cytoscape, a popular software platform for networks, to perform a topological analysis of biological networks.
