Profiling cytogenetic diversity with entropy-based karyotypic analysis.

Abstract excerpt

Regardless the high degree of variation observed in solid tumor karyotypes, the use of diversity as a measurable phenomenon remains unexplored. Here we present a systematic cytogenetic analysis using Shannon's entropy as a measure for karyotypic diversity. Karyotypes from 14 epithelial tumor types (n = 1232) have the aneuploidy status scored, resulting in highly asymmetrical sample distribution, for which we...
