Abstract excerpt
Using pan-cancer data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), we investigated how patterns in copy number alterations in cancer cells vary both by tissue type and as a function of genetic alteration. We find that patterns in both chromosomal ploidy and individual arm copy number are dependent on tumour type. We highlight for example, the significant losses in chromosome arm 3p and the gain of ploidy in 5q in kidney...
