ascatNgs: Identifying Somatically Acquired Copy‐Number Alterations from Whole‐Genome Sequencing Data
1 Dec 2016
Abstract excerpt
We have developed ascatNgs to aid researchers in carrying out Allele-Specific Copy number Analysis of Tumours (ASCAT). ASCAT is capable of detecting DNA copy number changes affecting a tumor genome when comparing to a matched normal sample. Additionally, the algorithm estimates the amount of tumor DNA in the sample, known as Aberrant Cell Fraction (ACF). ASCAT itself is an R-package which requires the generation...
