摘要: Background Affymetrix SNP arrays can interrogate thousands of SNPs at the same time. This allows us to look genomic content cancer cells and investigate underlying events leading cancer. Genomic copy-numbers are today routinely derived from array data, but proposed algorithms for this task most often disregard genotype information available germline in paired germline-tumour samples. Including may deepen our understanding "true" biological situation e.g. by enabling analysis allele specific copy-numbers. Here we rely on matched samples have developed a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) estimate allelic copy-number changes tumour cells. Further with approach able proportion normal (mixture proportion).
