Overview
Introduction

This is the analysis overview for Firehose run "24 October 2012".

Summary

Note: These results are offered to the community as an additional reference point, enabling a wide range of cancer biologists, clinical investigators, and genome and computational scientists to easily incorporate TCGA into the backdrop of ongoing research. While every effort is made to ensure that Firehose input data and algorithms are of the highest possible quality, these analyses have not been reviewed by domain experts.

Results

- Sequence and Copy Number Analyses

- Copy number analysis (GISTIC2)
  View Report | There were 97 tumor samples used in this analysis: 23 significant arm-level results, 27 significant focal amplifications, and 31 significant focal deletions were found.

- Mutation Analysis (MutSig v2.0)
  View Report |

- Mutation Analysis (MutSig vS2N)

- Clustering Analyses

- Clustering of copy number data: consensus NMF
  View Report | The most robust consensus NMF clustering of 97 samples using the 58 copy number focal regions was identified for k = 3 clusters. We computed the clustering for k = 2 to k = 8 and used the cophenetic correlation coefficient to determine the best solution.

- Clustering of Methylation: consensus NMF
  View Report | The 10059 most variable methylated genes were selected based on variation. The variation cutoff are set for each tumor type empirically by fitting a bimodal distriution. For genes with multiple methylation probes, we chose the most variable one to represent the gene. Consensus NMF clustering of 126 samples and 10059 genes identified 3 subtypes with the stability of the clustering increasing for k = 2 to k = 8 and the average silhouette width calculation for selecting the robust clusters.

- Clustering of RPPA data: consensus NMF
  View Report | The most robust consensus NMF clustering of 54 samples using the 150 most variable proteins was identified for k = 4 clusters. We computed the clustering for k = 2 to k = 8 and used the cophenetic correlation coefficient to determine the best solution.

- Clustering of RPPA data: consensus hierarchical
  View Report | The 150 most variable proteins were selected. Consensus average linkage hierarchical clustering of 54 samples and 150 proteins identified 3 subtypes with the stability of the clustering increasing for k = 2 to k = 8 and the average silhouette width calculation for selecting the robust clusters.

- Clustering of mRNAseq gene expression: consensus NMF
  View Report | The most robust consensus NMF clustering of 96 samples using the 1500 most variable genes was identified for k = 4 clusters. We computed the clustering for k = 2 to k = 8 and used the cophenetic correlation coefficient to determine the best solution.

- Clustering of mRNAseq gene expression: consensus hierarchical
  View Report | The 1500 most variable genes were selected. Consensus average linkage hierarchical clustering of 96 samples and 1500 genes identified 3 subtypes with the stability of the clustering increasing for k = 2 to k = 8 and the average silhouette width calculation for selecting the robust clusters.

- Clustering of miRseq expression: consensus NMF
  View Report | We filtered the data to 150 most variable miRs. Consensus NMF clustering of 124 samples and 150 miRs identified 3 subtypes with the stability of the clustering increasing for k = 2 to k = 8 and the average silhouette width calculation for selecting the robust clusters.

- Clustering of miRseq expression: consensus hierarchical
  View Report | We filtered the data to 150 most variable miRs. Consensus average linkage hierarchical clustering of 124 samples and 150 miRs identified 3 subtypes with the stability of the clustering increasing for k = 2 to k = 8 and the average silhouette width calculation for selecting the robust clusters.
