Global copy number profiling of cancer genomes.

UNLABELLED: In this article, we introduce a robust and efficient strategy for deriving global and allele-specific copy number alternations (CNA) from cancer whole exome sequencing data based on Log R ratios and B-allele frequencies. Applying the …

Computational analysis in cancer exome sequencing.

Exome sequencing in cancer is a powerful tool for identifying mutational events across the coding region of human genes. Here, we describe computational methods that use exome sequencing reads from cancer samples to identify somatic single nucleotide …

MU2A--reconciling the genome and transcriptome to determine the effects of base substitutions.

MOTIVATION: Next-generation sequencing technologies enable the identification of sequence variation in the genome and transcriptome. Differences between the reference genome and transcript libraries complicate the determination of the effect of …

Semantic web data warehousing for caGrid.

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) is developing caGrid as a means for sharing cancer-related data and services. As more data sets become available on caGrid, we need effective ways of accessing and integrating this information. Although the data …
