SomatiCA: identifying, characterizing and quantifying somatic copy number aberrations from cancer genome sequencing data.

Whole genome sequencing of matched tumor-normal sample pairs is becoming routine in cancer research. However, analysis of somatic copy-number changes from sequencing data is still challenging because of insufficient sequencing coverage, unknown tumor sample purity and subclonal heterogeneity. Here w...
