We have developed ascatNgs to aid researchers in carrying out Allele-Specific Copy number Analysis of Tumours (ASCAT). ASCAT is capable of detecting DNA copy number changes affecting a tumor genome when comparing to a matched normal sample. Additionally, the algorithm estimates the amount of tumor DNA in the sample, known as Aberrant Cell Fraction (ACF). ASCAT itself is an R-package which requires the generation of many file types. Here, we present a suite of tools to help handle this for the user. Our code is available on our GitHub site (https://github.com/cancerit). This unit describes both 'one-shot' execution and approaches more suitable for large-scale compute farms. © 2016 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
我们开发了ascatNgs,以协助研究人员进行肿瘤的等位基因特异性拷贝数分析(ASCAT)。与匹配的正常样本相比,ASCAT能够检测影响肿瘤基因组的DNA拷贝数变化。此外,该算法可估计样本中肿瘤DNA的量,即异常细胞分数(ACF)。ASCAT本身是一个R包,需要生成多种文件类型。在此,我们提供了一套工具来帮助用户处理这些问题。我们的代码可在我们的GitHub网站(https://github.com/cancerit)上获取。本单元介绍了“一次性”执行方法以及更适合大规模计算集群的方法。© 2016约翰威立国际出版公司。
