Computational Framework to reconstructing tumor clone structures

Introduction

Clonal heterogeneity is a defining feature of many tumor types, and the elucidation of the subclones that exist within the tumor sample, together with the corresponding cellular fractions, is essential to understand tumorigenesis, relapse, and metastasis. We developed a software framework, SubcloneSeeker, that examines somatic variation events (such as copy number changes, loss of heterozygosity, or point mutations) in order to identify the underlying subclone structure, i.e. the subclones including the normal (non-cancerous) cells and their cellular frequencies within the tumor tissue.

Getting Started

Please refer to the documentation for how to get started, or run examples.

Directory Structure

'src' directory contains all the classes that consists of the SubcloneSeeker core library, in which the basic data types and logics for representing somatic mutations, mutation clusters and subclones are defined.

'utils' directory contains the source code for many command-line utilities that utilizing the SubcloneSeeker core library.

'test' directory contains the test cases for the core library.

'doc' directory contains the project's documentation, generated by Doxygen. A pre-built version can be read at http://yiq.github.io/SubcloneSeekerDoc/

'contrib' directory contains third part libraries that the project uses.
