We computed the CCF for each mutation found in the tumor samples from patients P6, P4, and P1. Hierarchical clustering of mutations is then performed to obtain putative subclones. a, c, e Subclone CCF density figure shown as violin plots. The x-axis represents subclone clusters, and the n value shows the number of mutations in each subclone. Each mutation has two CCF values (as they may be detected in both tumor samples). The y-axis represents the density of CCFs for each subclone. b, d, f Scatter plot of CCFs for each patient. Each point represents a mutation. The x- and y-axis represent the CCFs of a mutation for each of two tumor samples in a patient. Mutations belonging to clusters n ≥ 3 are shown in their corresponding cluster colors in the violin plot. Mutations belonging to clusters n < 3 are outliers (shown in light grey) and not clustered. a 19 PyClone inferred subclone clusters in P6. b CCF relationship for P6. Subclone 1, 3, 4, 5, 9, and 11 in a are marked. PTEN, FBXW7, EIF4G3, IL12RB2, and PDE4B mutations are labelled with arrows. c Five PyClone inferred subclone clusters in P4. d CCF relationship for P4. Subclone 0, 1, and 2 in c are marked. e Seven PyClone inferred subclone clusters in P1. f CCF relationship for P1. Subclone 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 in e are marked. BCL11A mutation is labelled with arrows.
