REQUIRED ARGUMENTS

gene-covg-dir Text
Directory containing per-gene coverage files (Created using music bmr calc-covg)

bam-list Text
Tab delimited list of BAM files [sample_name, normal_bam, tumor_bam] (See Description)

pathway-file Text
Tab-delimited file of pathway information (See Description)

maf-file Text
List of mutations using TCGA MAF specifications v2.3

output-file Text
Output file that will list the significant pathways and their p-values

OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS

bmr Number
Background mutation rate in the targeted regions

Default value '1e-06' if not specified

genes-to-ignore Text
Comma-delimited list of genes whose mutations should be ignored

min-mut-genes-per-path Number
Pathways with fewer mutated genes than this, will be ignored

Default value '1' if not specified

skip-non-coding Boolean
Skip non-coding mutations from the provided MAF file

Default value 'true' if not specified

noskip-non-coding Boolean
Make skip-non-coding 'false'

skip-silent Boolean
Skip silent mutations from the provided MAF file

Default value 'true' if not specified

noskip-silent Boolean
Make skip-silent 'false'

DESCRIPTION

Only the following four columns in the MAF are used. All other columns may be left blank.

Col 1: Hugo_Symbol (Need not be HUGO, but must match gene names used in the pathway file)
Col 2: Entrez_Gene_Id (Matching Entrez ID trump gene name matches between pathway file and MAF)
Col 9: Variant_Classification
Col 16: Tumor_Sample_Barcode (Must match the name in sample-list, or contain it as a substring)

The Entrez_Gene_Id can also be left blank (or set to 0), but it is highly recommended, in
case genes are named differently in the pathway file and the MAF file.

ARGUMENTS

--pathway-file
This is a tab-delimited file prepared from a pathway database (such as KEGG), with the
columns: [path_id, path_name, class, gene_line, diseases, drugs, description] The
latter three columns are optional (but are available on KEGG). The gene_line contains
the "entrez_id:gene_name" of all genes involved in this pathway, each separated by a
"|" symbol.
For example, a line in the pathway-file would look like:

hsa00061 Fatty acid biosynthesis Lipid Metabolism 31:ACACA|32:ACACB|27349:MCAT|2194:FASN|54995:OXSM|55301:OLAH

Ensure that the gene names and entrez IDs used match those used in the MAF
file. Entrez IDs are not mandatory (use a 0 if Entrez ID unknown). But if a
gene name in the MAF does not match any gene name in this file, the entrez IDs
are used to find a match (unless it's a 0).

--gene-covg-dir
This is usually the gene_covgs subdirectory created when you run "music bmr calc-
covg". It should contain files for each sample that report per-gene covered base
counts.
--bam-list
Provide a file containing sample names and normal/tumor BAM locations for each. Use
the tab- delimited format [sample_name normal_bam tumor_bam] per line. This tool only
needs sample_name, so all other columns can be skipped. The sample_name must be the
same as the tumor sample names used in the MAF file (16th column, with the header
Tumor_Sample_Barcode).
--bmr
The overall background mutation rate. This can be calculated using "music bmr calc-
bmr".
--genes-to-ignore
A comma-delimited list of genes to ignore from the MAF file. This is useful when there
are recurrently mutated genes like TP53 which might mask the significance of other
genes.
