Abstract:
We here present COOBoostR (https://github.com/SWJ9385/COOBoostR), a computational method designed for the putative prediction of tissue- or cell-of-origin of various cancer types. COOBoostR leverages regional somatic mutation density information and chromatin mark features to be applied to an extreme gradient boosting-based machine-learning algorithm. COOBoostR ranks chromatin marks from various tissue and cell types which best explain the somatic mutation density landscape of any sample of interest. Through integrating either ChIP-seq based chromatin data or bulk/single cell chromatin accessibility data along with regional somatic mutation density data derived from normal cells/tissue, precancerous lesions, and cancer types, we show that COOBoostR outperforms existing random forest-based methods in prediction speed with comparable or better tissue or cell-of-origin prediction performance. In addition, our results suggest a dynamic somatic mutation accumulation at the normal tissue or cell stage which could be intertwined with the changes in open chromatin marks and enhancer sites. These results further represent chromatin marks shaping the somatic mutation landscape at the early stage of mutation accumulation, possibly even before the initiation of precancerous lesions or neoplasia.
