File Format: Signatures (Cancer Type Map)

The cancer type map file helps to determine which signatures to select based on a selected cancer type. This file is specific to a "signature group", so the signatures referenced within must all be found in the group.

The cancer type map file contains the following columns:

• Signature: The name of a signature.
• Oncotree Code: A code from the oncotree tool closest to the cancer type. At the time of writing this document the oncotree version is oncotree_2018_11_01
• Cancer Type: A human-readable name for the cancer type.
• Category Type: The category type of the signature. (e.g. SBS_96)

A signature can be repeated in multiple rows if it is active in multiple cancer types.

An example of this file is as follows:

Signature	Oncotree Code	Cancer Type	Category Type
1	MBL	Medulloblastoma	SBS_96
5	MBL	Medulloblastoma	SBS_96
8	MBL	Medulloblastoma	SBS_96
1	MEL	Melanoma	SBS_96
5	MEL	Melanoma	SBS_96
7	MEL	Melanoma	SBS_96
11	MEL	Melanoma	SBS_96
17	MEL	Melanoma	SBS_96
