Hi Sam, I would like to discuss something about cytoscanHD array. Did you find that when you have done preprocessing, there are chromosome 24 and 25 ? Br, Chengyu -- -- When reporting problems on aroma.affymetrix, make sure 1) to run the latest version of the package, 2) to report the

Thanks Sam for sharing the information. But I dont understand, why there are chromosome 24 and 25 (autosomal chromosome 1-22, X(23), Y(24))? Are you using any other package than aroma.affymetrix ? Are you interested in total copy number or allele-specific copy number analysis ? Now I am working

Hi, I have tried this and works good but at the end I need the information whether there is a gain or loss at the segment. I will use GLAD model to get gain or loss at a segment. My samples and controls are completely unrelated so I am little bit doubtful whether I am doing right or not.

Hi guys, here are some late feedback on this discussion: * When talking about copy numbers, it is important to always be very clear and distinguish between whether we talk about normal/germline CNs or tumor CNs. The former take integer CN levels (0, 1, 2, 3, ...), whereas for tumors we very

Hi Liu, That is good to know some one is doing similar stuff as mine. I was going to through 2-3 papers which described to get a comprehensive list of CNVs it is better to consider a CNV which is called in 2 or more CNV calling algorithms. This is what I have observed recently in some papers

Hi Sam, I am doing similar stuff with you. I also need to identify regions which are amplified or deleted. I have paired samples. There are quite many different ways to define gain and loss of a segment. It is a tricky question. From the literature search, it seems best to call CNVs using

Hi, Thanks for the clarification. I am working on finding segments of duplication/deletion that are only present in patients but not in controls. And my samples are non-paired. From the literature search, it seems best to call CNVs using from different softwares to have a comprehensive list
