Overview
Introduction

This is an overview of Lymphoid Neoplasm Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma analysis pipelines from Firehose run "17 October 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 48 samples using the 41 copy number focal regions was identified for k = 2 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 48 samples using the 41 copy number focal regions was identified for k = 2 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 13938 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 48 samples and 13938 genes identified 2 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 647 most variable miRs. Consensus ward linkage hierarchical clustering of 42 samples and 647 miRs identified 9 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 647 most variable miRs. Consensus NMF clustering of 42 samples and 647 miRs identified 2 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 135 most variable miRs. Consensus ward linkage hierarchical clustering of 47 samples and 135 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 47 samples and 150 miRs identified 4 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.
