Thank you for the reply, that is helpful to know.
Another question,
How would one go about getting or creating a text file with SNPs such as the one you provide on the website? So as to use the BAF parameter.

Hi!
How does it use the normal sample if provided?
If you want to calculate BAF and allelic status, then the normalization is done using GC-content but CNVs will be annotated as somatic or germline using information from the normal sample.
If one provides a normal sample as well as chromosome fasta files, does it account for gc-content bias using the normal sample as well as the fasta files? Or just one of them.
In the first case, you can force GC-content normalization using option "forceGCcontentNormalization" (see http://bioinfo-out.curie.fr/projects...al.html#CONFIG)
Does Control-FREEC get its bin size from genomic coordinates, or does it use read density?
BTW, if you are not sure about a good value for window size use option "coefficientOfVariation" to evaluate it.

Control-FREEC: a tool for assessing copy number and allelic content using NGS data
Control-FREEC enables automatic calculation of copy number and allelic content profiles from next generation sequencing data, and consequently predicts regions of genomic alteration such as gains, losses, and loss of heterozygosity (LOH).
Taking as input aligned reads, Control-FREEC constructs copy number and B-allele frequency profiles. The profiles are then normalized, segmented and analyzed in order to assign genotype status (copy number and allelic content) to each genomic region. When a matched normal sample is provided, Control-FREEC discriminates somatic from germline events.
Control-FREEC is able to analyze over-diploid tumor samples and samples contaminated by normal cells.
Low mappability regions can be excluded from the analysis using provided mappability tracks.

Input for detection of copy number alterations (CNAs):
Aligned single-end, paired-end or mate-pair data in SAM, BAM, SAMtools pileup, Eland, BED, SOAP, arachne, psl (BLAT) and Bowtie formats. Control-FREEC accepts .GZ files.
Input for CNA+LOH detection:
Aligned reads in SAMtools pileup format. The file can be GZipped.
Output:
Regions of gains, lossed and LOH, copy number and BAF profiles.

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...-

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...-
