WTSI Mutational Signature Framework: matlabpool function

Hi!

I am trying to use WTSI Mutational Signature Framework from Alexandrov L. to deconstruct some mutation patterns.

http://nl.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/38724-wtsi-mutational-signature-framework

Unfortunately I am not familiar at all with matlab. I got from my university a version 2017 and tried to run one of the examples to fall on this error:

Undefined function or variable 'matlabpool'.

Error in decipherMutationalProcesses (line 20)
   totalCores = matlabpool('size');

It seems to be linked to the function decipherMutationalProcesses calling for a number of core through matlabpool. But matlabpool is now replaced by parpool in newer version of matlab.

Does anyone knows how to deal with this? Or the only solution is to take a compatible older version of matlab ?

Thanks in advance!

Hello Radek!

We believe that this post does not fit the main topic of this site. This is not a bioinformatics question. You may have better luck on a Matlab-specific forum or, since Matlab is commercial software, asking their customer service.

For this reason we have closed your question. This allows us to keep the site focused on the topics that the community can help with.

If you disagree please tell us why in a reply below, we'll be happy to talk about it.

Cheers!

A little late but since I'm facing the same situation... Some good soul seems to have ported the WTSI Mutational Signature Framework to R, see mutSignatures and SomaticSignatures.

(P.S. I would vote to re-open this question)
