Dryclean is a robust principal component analysis (rPCA) based method. It uses a panel of normal (PON) samples to learn the landscape of both biological and technical noise in read depth data. Dryclean then uses this landscape to significantly reduce noise and artifacts in the signal for tumor samples. The input to the algorithm is a GenomicsRanges object containing read depth. You can use read counts from your favorite tool (there are many fast tools out there, for example: megadepth). Using uncorrected read counts as input for Dryclean works well based on our experience, but if you wish, you can use the GC and mappability corrected read depth data from fragCounter, which can be found at: https://github.com/mskilab/fragCounter.
There are 2 options for instantiating the PON object:
Option 1: Load an existing PON from a path.
To load an existing PON from the path into the pon_object, run:
pon_object = pon$new(pon_path = "~/git/dryclean/inst/extdata/detergent.rds")Option 2: Create a new PON from normal samples.
To create a new PON, the vector with paths to the normal samples is needed.
Following is an example of such a vector
normal_vector_example = readRDS("~/git/dryclean/inst/extdata/normal_vector.rds")
normal_vector_example
[1] "/git/dryclean/extdata/samp1.rds"
[2] "/git/dryclean/extdata/samp2.rds"
[3] "/git/dryclean/extdata/samp3.rds"To make a new PON, you need to instantiate a PON object and set create_new_pon = TRUE.
pon_object = pon$new(
create_new_pon = TRUE,
normal_vector = normal_vector_example
)NOTE: We recommend using raw reads from normal samples in PON generation for the most optimal performance.
The parameters that could be used in PON generation:
| Parameter | Default value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| create_new_pon | FALSE | Whether to create a new PON from normal samples |

| infer.germline | FALSE | Whether to use the L matrix to infer germline events |
| signal.thresh | 0.5 | The threshold to be used to identify an amplification (markers with signal intensity > 0.5) or deletions (markers with signal intensity < -0.5) in log space from dryclean outputs |
| pct.thresh | 0.98 | Proportion of samples in which a given marker is free of germline event |
| wgs | TRUE | Whether whole genome is being used |
| target_resolution | 1,000 | Desired bin size of the PON |
| nochr | TRUE | Whether to remove chr prefix |
| all.chr | c(as.character(1:22), "X") | List of chromosomes |
The pon_object contains the following methods:
1. get_L() - returns L, the low ranked matrix of all the PONs calculated by batch robust PCA method |
2. get_S() - returns S, the sparse matrix of all the PONs calculated by batch robust PCA method |
3. get_k() - returns k, the estimated rank of a matrix where coverage values from each normal sample forms a column |
4. get_U_hat() - returns U.hat, svd decompsed left sigular matrix of L required for online implentation of rPCA |
5. get_V_hat() - returns V.hat, svd decompsed right sigular matrix of L required for online implentation of rPCA |
6. get_sigma_hat() - returns sigma.hat, svd decompsed first k sigular values of L required for online implentation of rPCA |

9. get_history() - returns the history of actions on the pon object with timestamps |
Following is a dummy example. The data directory has a dummy coverage gRanges object with "reads.corrected" field.

dryclean_object <- dryclean$new(pon = pon_object)
After initializing the dryclean object, use the clean function to normalize the coverage with the path to the coverage data as the required cov parameter. For the sake of example, we set the parameter testing=TRUE but typically, you would leave it at its default value.

Prerequisites for 'dryclean' to work correctly:
- The number of bins on each chromosome in the coverage and PON (Panel of Normal) data must match. If you attempt to normalize the coverage with PON data of different number of bins, you will encounter an error. In the event of such an error, you can utilize the
get_mismatch()method to obtain a data table of all chromosomes with mismatched lengths. - The coverage data has to be centered. If the coverage has not been centered, set
center=TRUE. NOTE: If you used Fragcounter to correct the coverage, it has already been centered (setcenter=FALSE).
Additionally, you can use the get_history() method to review all actions performed on the object with timestamps.
Dryclean CLI offers two modes of operation: PON generation and normalization using an existing PON.
Mode 1 (Default): Coverage Normalization with an existing PON. To select this mode, set --mode 'coverage'. In this mode, Dryclean employs an existing PON specified by --pon to normalize the GRanges coverage provided with --input. The normalized coverage is saved as GRanges in the --outdir directory (default = './').
Example (Note: --testing TRUE only for example purposes; typically, you would use the default value):
./drcln --input inst/extdata/samp1.rds --pon inst/extdata/detergent.rds --testing TRUE▓█████▄ ██▀███ ██ ██▓ ▄████▄ ██▓ ▓█████ ▄▄▄ ███▄ █

Mode 2: PON Generation. To select this mode, set --mode 'pon'. In this mode, a new Panel of Normals (PON) is generated using a vector of normal samples saved as .rds, specified with --normal_vector flag. The newly created PON is then saved in the --outdir directory (default = './').
Example:
./drcln --mode "pon" --normal_vector inst/extdata/normal_vector.rds
