Article Abstract

Motivation: Large-scale sequencing studies have created a need to succinctly visualize genomic characteristics of patient cohorts linked to widely variable phenotypic information. This is often done by visualizing the co-occurrence of variants with comutation plots. Current tools lack the ability to create highly customizable and publication quality comutation plots from arbitrary user data.

Results: We developed CoMut, a stand-alone, object-oriented Python package that creates comutation plots from arbitrary input data, including categorical data, continuous data, bar graphs, side bar graphs and data that describes relationships between samples.

Availability And Implementation: The CoMut package is open source and is available at https://github.com/vanallenlab/comut under the MIT License, along with documentation and examples. A no installation, easy-to-use implementation is available on Google Colab (see GitHub).

Background: Comutation plot is a widely used visualization method to deliver a global view of the mutation landscape of large-scale genomic studies. Current tools for creating comutation plot are either offline packages that require coding or online web servers with varied features. When a package is used, it often requires repetitive runs of code to adjust a single feature that might only be a few clicks in a web app.

Background: The prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has been extensively studied. However, the impact on prognosis of stage I HCC has not been well studied at clincopathological, mutational and transcriptional levels.

Methods: Here we first characterized the influencing factors of prognosis of stage I HCC patients by downloading and analyzing the whole-exome somatic mutation data, messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) transcription data, along with demographic and clinical information of 163 stage I HCC patients from the TCGA database.

Purpose: Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (VEGFR-TKIs) are being used for the first-line treatment of metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (mccRCC). Here, we set out to explore associations between genomic statuses, gene expression clusters and clinical outcomes of mccRCCs upon the application of VEGFR-TKIs.

Methods: A retrospective study of 56 patients with mccRCC who received first-line VEGFR-TKIs and who underwent genomic profiling and whole transcriptome sequencing was conducted.

Background: There is a lack of clinically available predictive models for patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation positive, advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs).

Methods: The clinical data of patients at the Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences between from January 2016 to January 2021 were retrospectively retrieved as training set. The patients from BENEFIT trial were for the validation cohort.
