Accurity: accurate tumor purity and ploidy inference from tumor-normal WGS data by jointly modelling somatic copy number alterations and heterozygous germline single-nucleotide-variants

Abstract excerpt

Motivation: Tumor purity and ploidy have a substantial impact on next-gen sequence analyses of tumor samples and may alter the biological and clinical interpretation of results. Despite the existence of several computational methods that are dedicated to estimate tumor purity and/or ploidy from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) tumor-normal whole-genome-sequencing (WGS) data, an accurate, fast and fully-automated...
