Overview
Introduction

This is an overview of Sarcoma analysis pipelines from Firehose run "15 July 2014".

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.

- Clustering Analyses

- Clustering of copy number data by focal peak region with log2 ratio: consensus NMF
  View Report | The most robust consensus NMF clustering of 169 samples using the 61 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 copy number data by peak region with threshold value: consensus NMF
  View Report | The most robust consensus NMF clustering of 169 samples using the 61 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 13904 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 242 samples and 13904 genes identified 7 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 mature expression: consensus hierarchical
  View Report | Median absolute deviation (MAD) was used to select 246 most variable miRs. Consensus ward linkage hierarchical clustering of 194 samples and 246 miRs identified 3 subtypes with the stability of the clustering increasing for k = 2 to k = 10.

- Clustering of miRseq mature expression: consensus NMF
  View Report | We filtered the data to 246 most variable miRs. Consensus NMF clustering of 194 samples and 246 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 precursor expression: consensus hierarchical
  View Report | Median absolute deviation (MAD) was used to select 125 most variable miRs. Consensus ward linkage hierarchical clustering of 194 samples and 125 miRs identified 5 subtypes with the stability of the clustering increasing for k = 2 to k = 10.

- Clustering of miRseq precursor expression: consensus NMF
  View Report | We filtered the data to 150 most variable miRs. Consensus NMF clustering of 194 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.

  View Report | Median absolute deviation (MAD) was used to select 1500 most variable genes. Consensus ward linkage hierarchical clustering of 167 samples and 1500 genes identified 5 subtypes with the stability of the clustering increasing for k = 2 to k = 10.

  View Report | The most robust consensus NMF clustering of 167 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.
