Impact of seed selection on subclonal reconstruction solutions

Project goal:

1. Quantify SRC result variability across SRC tools
2. Quantify SRC result variability across initializing random seed

Description

In this project, we have expanded the subclonal reconstruction pipeline https://github.com/uclahs-cds/pipeline-call-SRC to accept the output of multiple mutation callers.

We have integrated 4 additional mutation callers (MuTect2, SomaticSniper, Strelka2, Battenberg) by creating parsers that extract variant data from the different tools' output. The parsers can be found here https://github.com/uclahs-cds/tool-SRC-util.

Random Seed Selection

Generating random seeds:

Generate initial seed: head -c 4 /dev/urandom | od -An -tu4 => 3058353505

Generate 10 random seeds:

import random
random.seed(3058353505)
random.sample(range(0, 1000000), k=10)

Chosen random seeds:

Generated/chosen seeds: [51404, 366306, 423647, 838004, 50135, 628019, 97782, 253505, 659767, 13142]

Tumour Sample Data:

[HNSC] Head and Neck cohort: /hot/project/disease/HeadNeckTumor/HNSC-000084-LNMEvolution/data/

[CPCGENE] Prostate cohort: /hot/project/disease/ProstateTumor/PRAD-000005-293PT/

Tools:

sSNV-caller: mutect2, strelka2, somaticsniper

sCNA-caller: battenberg

src-tool: pyclone-vi, dpclust, phylowgs

Node selection:

• PyClone-VI: F32 (average run time 15s - 10min)
• DPClust: F32 (average run time 5min - 40min)
• PhyloWGS: F72 (average run time 7h - 24h)

sSNV-caller and sCNA-caller results:

sSNV-caller output:

/hot/project/disease/HeadNeckTumor/HNSC-000084-LNMEvolution/data/SNV/<sSNV-caller>/recsnv/vcfs/

sCNA-caller output:

/hot/project/disease/HeadNeckTumor/HNSC-000084-LNMEvolution/data/<sCNA-caller>/

Modes:

[HNSC]

• Single region mode (sr) (run on primary tumour only)
• Multi region mode (mr) (run on primary and metastatic tumours)

[CPGENE]

• Multi region mode (mr) (run on multiple regions of primary tumour)

Running The Pipeline

The pipeline is run for each sample and seed in both single region and multi region mode.
