摘要: Summary: Chromosomal copy number aberrations can be efficiently detected and quantified using low-coverage whole-genome sequencing (lcWGS), but analysis is hampered by the lack of knowledge on absolute DNA numbers tumor purity. Here we describe an analytical tool for Absolute Copy Estimation, ACE, which scales relative signals from chromosomal segments to optimally fit numbers, without need additional genetic information, such as SNP data. In doing so, ACE derives estimate purity well. facilitates large samples, while maintaining flexibility customize models generate output single samples.

Documentation, example data, a vignette, included in R package ACE.
