# 1 Genotype cancer hotspots

`cancerhotspots` allows rapid genotyping of known somatic hotspots from the tumor BAM files. This facilitates to get a quick overlook of 3,181 known somatic hot-spots in a matter of minutes, without spending hours on variant calling and annotation. In simple words, it fetches nucleotide frequencies of known somatic hotspots and prioritizes them based on allele frequency.

Output includes a browsable HTML file with variants passing the VAF/read depth filters and, a TSV file including nucleotide counts of all variants analyzed.

    library(maftools)

    can_hs_tbl = maftools::cancerhotspots(
      bam = "Tumor.bam",
      refbuild = "GRCh37",
      mapq = 10,
      sam_flag = 1024
    )

    Variants > 0.05 threshold:  3
    Avg. depth of coverage   :  83.02
    Output html report       :  Tumor.html
    Output TSV file          :  Tumor.tsv

Above command generates an HTML report and a TSV file with the readcounts.

The tsv files generated by `cancerhotspots()` can be aggregated and converted into MAF with the function `cancerhotspotsAggr()`.

CLI version of `cancerhotspots` can be found here

# 2 Fetch readcounts for targetted loci

`bamreadcounts` function extracts ATGC nucleotide distribution for targeted loci from the BAM files. The function name is an homage to bam-readcount tool and additionally supports INDELS.

    #Generate a sample loci - first two columns must contain chromosome name and position
    loci = data.table::data.table(chr = c("seq1", "seq2"), pos = c(1340, 1483))
    loci

    ##     chr  pos
    ## 1: seq1 1340
    ## 2: seq2 1483

Get nucleotide frequency from BAM files

    #Example BAM file from Rsamtools package
    #By default position are assumed to be in 1-based coordinate system
    bamfile = system.file("extdata", "ex1.bam", package = "Rsamtools")
    loci_rc = maftools::bamreadcounts(bam = bamfile, loci = loci)

    loci_rc
    # $ex1
    #         loci fa_ref A  T G  C Ins Del
