Finding common regions of alteration in copy number data

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

In this chapter, we review some recent methods designed for detecting recurrent copy number regions, that is, genomic regions that show evidence of being altered in a set of samples. We analyze Affymetrix SNP6 data from 87 Her2-type breast tumors from a recent study using three different methods, showing different definitions and features of common regions: studying heterogeneity in copy number profiles, refining candidates for driver oncogenes, and consolidating broad amplifications.
