ABSOLUTE 1.0 / HAPSEG

:: DESCRIPTION

The purpose of ABSOLUTE is to re-extract these data from the mixed DNA population. This process begins by generation of segmented copy number data, which is input to the ABSOLUTE algorithm together with pre-computed models of recurrent cancer karyotypes and, optionally, allelic fraction values for somatic point mutations. The output of ABSOLUTE then provides re-extracted information on the absolute cellular copy number of local DNA segments and, for point mutations, the number of mutated alleles.

HAPSEG is a probabilistic method to interpret bi- allelic marker data in cancer samples.
