Overview
Introduction

This is the analysis overview for Firehose run "16 January 2013".

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 66 tumor samples used in this analysis: 14 significant arm-level results, 2 significant focal amplifications, and 0 significant focal deletions were found.

  • Clustering Analyses

    • Clustering of copy number data: consensus NMF
      View Report | The most robust consensus NMF clustering of 66 samples using the 2 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 13324 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 65 samples and 13324 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 mRNAseq gene expression: consensus NMF
      View Report | The most robust consensus NMF clustering of 65 samples using the 1500 most variable genes was identified for k = 5 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 65 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.

  • Correlation Analyses

    • Correlations between copy number and mRNAseq expression
      View Report | The correlation coefficients in 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 percentiles are 856.8, 2127.6, 2778, 3384, 3953, 4529, 5129, 5748, 6524, respectively.

    • Correlation between mRNA expression and DNA methylation
      View Report | The top 25 correlated methylation probes per gene are displayed. Total number of matched samples = 65. Number of gene expression samples = 65. Number of methylation samples = 65.

  • Other Analyses

    • PARADIGM pathway analysis of mRNASeq expression data
      View Report | There were 15 significant pathways identified in this analysis.

    • PARADIGM pathway analysis of mRNASeq expression and copy number data
      View Report | There were 17 significant pathways identified in this analysis.
