Request for additional metadata: Capture Kit

Open selkamand opened this issue 7 months ago • 1 comments

Hi,

Just wondering about feasibility of adding additional sample metadata, for example which capture kit was used?

Reason we care about capture kit:

Capture kit biases have led to false negative mutation calls in multiple TCGA cohorts. Variability in the capture kits used can contribute to inter-cohort TMB variation. More importantly, there are some genes that may be mutated in a sample, but whose mutation you will/won't see because of the specific capture kit that was used. See Wang et al. 2018 for details
