TPES: tumor purity estimation from SNVs
8 May 2019
Abstract excerpt
MOTIVATION: Tumor purity (TP) is the proportion of cancer cells in a tumor sample. TP impacts on the accurate assessment of molecular and genomics features as assayed with NGS approaches. State-of-the-art tools mainly rely on somatic copy-number alterations (SCNA) to quantify TP and therefore fail when a tumor genome is nearly euploid, i.e. 'non-aberrant' in terms of identifiable SCNAs. RESULTS: We introduce a...
