TRONCO 2.38.0
We implemented the interface of TRONCO with other tools to support the Pipeline for Cancer Inference PiCnIc, our attempt at devise an effective pipeline to extract ensemble-level cancer progression models from cross-sectional data.
PiCnIc is versatile, modular and customizable and exploits state-of-the-art data processing and machine learning tools to:
The algorithms for cancer progression inference exploited by PicNiC are implemented within TRONCO, the other steps of the pipeline rely on dedicated tools (for clustering, drivers selection and exclusiviyt groups detection). The tools that PicNiC can exploit are of different nature, and we plan to interface them with TRONCO as far as our case studies are developed.
The current version of TRONCO supports input/output towards these tools:
export.nbs.input
, clustering outputs can be handled with standard TRONCO functions.export.mutex
, and output results can be imported with function import.mutex.groups
.Finally we also privede the possibility of exporting the inferred model to graphML
format, which can be subsequently imported to Cytoscape. We now provide an example of such function.
export.graphml(model.boot,
file = 'graph.gml',
fontsize = 12,
scale.nodes = .6,
height.logic = 0.25)
Follows an example of file generated by such function. Futhermore on the TRONCO website a Cytoscape style to visualize the progressions is available.
