    Any program reports somatic CNVs with tumor fraction?

    I noticed Mutect reports somatic mutations with tumor fraction (ie the percentage of tumor cells that has said mutation). I think this makes sense because it reflects tumor heterogeneity.

    But when I tried ExomeCNV for somatic CNV. It doesn't report tumor fraction. (or maybe it does but how to do that?) Do you know any somatic CNV program that reports tumor fraction?

    Thanks

    It is probably extra difficult to identify a 3-fold duplication in 10% of the tumor cells, since it will look like normal diploid levels + a small increase over the whole sample. And you wouldn't be able to distinguish a 3-fold duplication in 10% of the tumor cells from a 30-fold duplication in 1% of the tumor cells.

    Some programs may report it anyway, but I do not know of any.

      Thanks for your reply. Presumably, I suppose the prevailing FISH/IHC method to detect HER2 amplification/overexpression also suffer from the same problem?

        The part about this topic feels surprisingly grounded, and the details on the page is the bit that made me slow down. I’d keep <a href="https://kinpict.com/">ai family photo generator</a> bookmarked for later.

        16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?
        by SEQadmin2





        NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification,...
