Hello everybody,
It is my first time working with cancer genomes and I have some doubts. I found this study in which they provide a lot of different sequencing data for the cell line HCC1395, and I would like to use them to assess a new tool that we are developing for detecting Copy Number Alterations. Problem is, I'm lacking a ground truth. In this study, they provide a golden dataset for SNVs and short INDELS, but they do not provide info about the CNAs. I necessarely need a not simulated normal/cancer sample pairs from the same patient, and this is the only source I found so far whicjh is freely providing a lot of well documented sequencing data.
Since the HCC1395 cell line was already studied before, I found some other studies providing the CNAs they found for it. My question now is: can I use those CNAs found in other studies on the same cell line as a ground truth to compare what I will find with our tool on the data I have?
I don't have much biological knowledge and my doubts arise manly because, If I undersood well, those cells are usually grown independently in a laboratory setting for each study, so I am not sure if they are comparable, or if they could have different mutations occurring between the different studies.
Thanks in advance!

The introduction of single-cell sequencing has advanced the ability to study cell-to-cell heterogeneity. Its use has improved our understanding of somatic mutations1, cell lineages2, cellular diversity and regulation3, and development in multicellular organisms4. Single-cell sequencing encompasses hundreds of techniques with different approaches to studying the genomes, transcriptomes, epigenomes, and other omics of individual cells. The analysis of single-cell sequencing data i

Single-cell sequencing is a technique used to investigate the genome, transcriptome, epigenome, and other omics of individual cells using high-throughput sequencing. This technology has provided many scientific breakthroughs and continues to be applied across many fields, including microbiology, oncology, immunology, neurobiology, precision medicine, and stem cell research.
The advancement of single-cell sequencing began in 2009 when Tang et al. investigated the single-cell transcriptomes...01-09-2023, 03:10 PM
