Get Curated Reference Signature Database

Source: R/get_sig_db.R

Reference mutational signatures and their aetiologies, mainly obtained from COSMIC database (SigProfiler results) and cleaned before saving into sigminer package. You can obtain:

  • COSMIC legacy SBS signatures.

  • COSMIC v3 SBS signatures.

  • COSMIC v3 DBS signatures.

  • COSMIC v3 ID (indel) signatures.

  • SBS and RS (rearrangement) signatures from Nik lab 2020 Nature Cancer paper.

  • RS signatures from BRCA560 and USARC cohorts.

  • Copy number signatures from USARC cohort and TCGA.

get_sig_db(sig_db = "legacy")

Arguments

sig_db

default 'legacy', it can be 'legacy' (for COSMIC v2 'SBS'), 'SBS', 'DBS', 'ID' and 'TSB' (for COSMIV v3.1 signatures) for small scale mutations. For more specific details, it can also be 'SBS_hg19', 'SBS_hg38', 'SBS_mm9', 'SBS_mm10', 'DBS_hg19', 'DBS_hg38', 'DBS_mm9', 'DBS_mm10' to use COSMIC v3 reference signatures from Alexandrov, Ludmil B., et al. (2020) (reference #1). In addition, it can be one of "SBS_Nik_lab_Organ", "RS_Nik_lab_Organ", "SBS_Nik_lab", "RS_Nik_lab" to refer reference signatures from Degasperi, Andrea, et al. (2020) (reference #2); "RS_BRCA560", "RS_USARC" to reference signatures from BRCA560 and USARC cohorts; "CNS_USARC" (40 categories), "CNS_TCGA" (48 categories) to reference copy number signatures from USARC cohort and TCGA. UPDATE, the latest version of reference version can be automatically downloaded and loaded from https://cancer.sanger.ac.uk/signatures/downloads/ when a option with latest_ prefix is specified (e.g. "latest_SBS_GRCh37"). Note: the signature profile for different genome builds are basically same. And specific database (e.g. 'SBS_mm10') contains less signatures than all COSMIC signatures (because some signatures are not detected from Alexandrov, Ludmil B., et al. (2020)). For all available options, check the parameter setting.

Value

a list.
