3.4 Cell deconvolution with CIBSERSORTx

The dataset is imported to CIBERSORTx and cell deconvolution is run using these parameters:

  • Date: 2021-01-16 07:05:59
  • Job type: Impute Cell Fractions
  • Signature matrix file: LM22.update-gene-symbols.txt
  • Mixture file: TCGA-SARC_data_for_cibersort.tsv
  • Batch correction: enabled
  • Batch correction mode: B-mode
  • Source GEP file used for batch correction: LM22.update-gene-symbols.txt
  • Disable quantile normalization: true
  • Run mode (relative or absolute): relative
  • Permutations: 100

Results correspond to Job3 from Philippe Naquet account and are retrieved and available in the mw-sarcoma-data repository (Private until publication).

Focus on cell types that should express VNN1, or correlate with it.

Focus on cell types that should express VNN1. Facet by primary diagnosis. For each facet, samples are still ordered from high-to-low VNN1 expression from top-to-bottom.

Focus on cell types that should express VNN1. Facet by paper short histo.

Focus on cell types that should express VNN1. Stacked view allow  to see the cell type distribution match VNN1 signal overall, but with a few strong exceptions, *eg* TCGA-HB-A2OT-01A-11R-A21T-07.
