CoMut

CoMut is a Python library for creating comutation plots to visualize genomic and phenotypic information.

Installation

CoMut is available on pypi here and can be installed via pip

pip install comut

Colab Quickstart

For those who do not want to install Python or other packages, there is a Google Colab notebook where you can simply upload a MAF file and run the notebook to make a basic comutation plot. This file is also available as a jupyter notebook for local use.

Citation

CoMut is now published here - https://academic.oup.com/bioinformatics/article/doi/10.1093/bioinformatics/btaa554/5851837. If you use CoMut in a paper, please cite:

Documentation

There is also a Documentation notebook that provides documentation for CoMut. It describes the fundamentals of creating comutation plots and provides the code used to generate the comut above.
