Epigenomics Heatmaps

SBS Signatures Epigenomics Heatmaps

Heatmap displays enrichments and depletions of SBS signatures within open chromatin, CTCF transcription factor binding sites, histone modifications, and nucleosomes. Red colours correspond to enrichments of real mutations and blue colours correspond to depletions of real mutations when compared to simulated data. The intensities of the red and blue colours reflect the degree of enrichments or depletions based on the average fold change. White colour boxes with no annotation correspond to insufficient data for performing statistical comparisons. Statistically significant enrichments and depletions are annotated with * (q-value ≤ 0.05).

Epigenomics Occupancy Plots

In occupancy plot, solid lines and dashed lines display the average topography feature’s signal (y-axis) along a 2 kilobase window (x-axis) centered at the somatic mutation locations for real and simulated mutations, respectively. The mutation location is annotated in the middle of each plot and denoted as 0. The 2 kilobase window encompasses 1,000 base-pairs 5’ adjacent to each mutation as well as 1,000 base-pairs 3’ adjacent to each mutation.
