Overview
Introduction

This pipeline attempts to calculate the pearson correlation between APOBEC_MutLoad_MinEstimate and mRnaseq data of each gene across samples to determine if the APOBEC_MutLoad_MinEstimate also result in differential expressions.

Summary

The correlation coefficients in 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 percentiles are -0.10232, -0.0682, -0.0421, -0.0203, 0.0011, 0.0232, 0.0463, 0.07454, 0.1143, respectively.

Correlation results

Number of samples used for the calculation are shown in Table 1. Figure 1 shows the distribution of calculated correlation coefficients and quantile-quantile plot of the calculated correlation coefficients against a normal distribution. Table 2 shows the top 20 genes ordered by the value of correlation coefficients.

Figure 1.  Summary figures. Left: histogram showing the distribution of the calculated correlations across samples for all Genes. Right: QQ plot of the calculated correlations across samples. The QQ plot is used to plot the quantiles of the calculated correlation coefficients against that derived from a normal distribution. Points deviating from the blue line indicate deviation from normality.

Methods & Data
Input

Gene level (TCGA Level III) mRNAseq expression data and APOBEC_MutLoad_MinEstimate derived by Mutation_APOBEC pipeline were used to do this analysis. Pearson correlation coefficients were calculated for APOBEC_MutLoad_MinEstimate and each gene across all the samples that were common.

Correlation across sample

Pearson correlation with pairwise.complete.obs was used to do this analysis.
