Quantifying tumor heterogeneity in whole-genome and whole-exome sequencing data
8 Oct 2014
Abstract excerpt
MOTIVATION: Most tumor samples are a heterogeneous mixture of cells, including admixture by normal (non-cancerous) cells and subpopulations of cancerous cells with different complements of somatic aberrations. This intra-tumor heterogeneity complicates the analysis of somatic aberrations in DNA sequencing data from tumor samples. RESULTS: We describe an algorithm called THetA2 that infers the composition of a...
