SigNet
Leveraging deep neural networks, SigNet refits mutational profiles under sparse-mutation regimes, surpassing non-negative least squares baselines. It quantifies uncertainty via error bars on signature weights and identifies out-of-distribution samples with its Detector module. Last update: 05/2024.
CBaSE
CBaSE uses somatic point mutations to estimate per-gene mutation probabilities without requiring external covariates. Unlike methods that assume a gamma distribution for gene-level counts, CBaSE considers a broader family of models. Outputs include q-values and dN/dS to quantify negative and positive selection for each gene. Extended context can be modeled up to pentamers. Last update: 07/2024.
MutPanning
Accounting for extended context (>5-mer), MutPanning implements two complementary positive-selection tests: enrichment of nonsynonymous mutations relative to neutrality and distributional deviation from the neutral expectation. These tests target driver genes and improve sensitivity when selection acts on only a subset of sites.
