Thanks for your help.

Hi Xue,

There are a few different places you can download mutation data with VAF included. If you started by running a query, you can download the data in the table on the Mutations tab. If you are looking at an individual patient/sample, you can similarly download the data in the mutations table there. Or, if you want to download all the mutation data for a study, you can do so from the Data Sets page, or by clicking the download icon next to the study name in the header in study view.

Hi Xue,

Among the files that are downloaded, there is a mutation file. In this file are columns for the reference and alternate read counts for each mutation. You can use these to calculate the variant allele frequency: alt_count / (alt_count + ref_count).

Hi Tail,

Thanks
