The program package CopyMap identifies copy number variation from oligo-hybridization and CGH data. Using a time-dependent hidden Markov model to combine evidence of copy number variants (CNVs) across multiple carriers, CopyMap is substantially more accurate than standard hidden Markov methods in identifying CNVs and calling CNV-carriers. Moreover, CopyMap provides more precise estimates of CNV-boundaries.
The C-source code and detailed documentation for the program CopyMap is available on the Internet at http://www.sph.umich.edu/csg/szoellner/
程序包 CopyMap 可从寡杂交和 CGH 数据中识别拷贝数变异。通过使用时变隐马尔可夫模型来组合多个载体上拷贝数变异 (CNV) 的证据,CopyMap 在识别 CNV 和调用 CNV 携带者方面比标准隐马尔可夫方法准确得多。此外,CopyMap 还提供了更精确的 CNV 边界估计。
