Table 2.

Mutation list column description in alphabetical order.

Column name Column description Possible values
alg algorithm used for detection of mutations e.g.,: mutect2, somatic sniper
alt alternative allele e.g.,: G, A, GAA
arm in which part of miRNA precursor mutation is located 5p, loop, 3p
balance arm from which the main miRNA is generated; defined based on deep sequencing reads (miRBase), [for details see Urbanek-Trzeciak et al. (2020)] 5p, 3p, both, undefined
based_on_coordinates indicates whether used coordinates were defined based on miRBase annotations or were predicted based on miRNA structure yes, no
chrom chromosome e.g.,: chr1, chrX
confidence as high-confidence miRNA genes, we considered genes coding for miRNA precursors annotated as “high confidence” in miRBase and/or deposited in MirGeneDB v2.0 High, Low
cut_region whether the mutation is within Drosha or Dicer cut region 0 (no), 1 (yes)
duplex whether the mutation is within duplex 0 (no), 1 (yes)
from_start nucleotide position from start of miRNA region in which mutation is located (e.g., within the seed, 5′ flanking sequence) e.g.,: 1, 3
from_end nucleotide position from end of miRNA region in which mutation is located (e.g., within the seed, 5′ flanking sequence) e.g.,: -1, -25
hgvs noncoding HGVS nomenclature of the mutation in the reference to the miRBase coordinates
∗Note that annotation of some indels may not match the latest HGVS recommendations; for multimutations (multiple changes in a single position in one sample) HGVS nomenclature is not available
e.g.,: n.90G>A, n.67+21G>A, n.1–15delA
hgvs_g genomic HGVS nomenclature of the mutation; for multimutations HGVS is not available e.g.,: NC_000010.11:g.17845137C>A, NC_000001.11:g.1167872_1167873insT
ID miRBase ID e.g.,: MI0000737
indiv_name sample identifier e.g.,: sample01
mirgenedb_ID mirGeneDB ID e.g.,: Hsa-Mir-8-P1a_pre
motifs whether any motif was disturbed as a result of the mutation 0 (no), 1 (yes)
motifs_{} information for each checked motif if there was the loss of a motif as a result of the mutation -, loss
mutation_type mutation type: substitution, insertion, deletion, insertion-deletion, multimutation subst, ins, del, indel, multimutation
name miRNA region name built by pre-miRNA name and precursor region connected by an underscore e.g.,: hsa-mir-200a_flanking-5, hsa-mir-511_post-seed
no_of_loc internal check column 1
orientation miRNA gene orientation +, -
pos genomic position of the mutation e.g.,: 1167859, 20633667
pre_name precursor name e.g.,: hsa-mir-200a, hsa-mir-6084
ref reference allele e.g.,: C, GCA
seed whether mutation is located within seed 0 (no), 1 (yes)
start miRNA region start coordinate e.g.,: 1167853, 20633667
start_pre_build miRBase start coordinate e.g.,: 1167863, 20633679
stop miRNA region stop coordinate e.g.,: 1167877, 20633691
stop_pre_build miRBase stop coordinate e.g.,: 1167952, 20633788
type region of miRNA precursor flanking-5, pre-seed, seed, post-seed, loop, flanking-3
type_of_subst substitution type, n.a. for non-substitution mutations transition, transversion, n.a.
weight weight score 1, 1.5, 2

A description of all the columns present in transitional or summary files is included in Table S1.
