ASCAT Algorithm

Learn what the ASCAT algorithm does and how it accounts for complications of aneuploidy, tumor heterogeneity, and contamination from normal cells in tumor sample analysis.

Frequency Significance Testing Using GISTIC

GISTIC helps to identify regions that are significantly gained or lost across a set of samples, giving a greater weight to high-amplitude events which are less likely to represent random aberrations.

Gene Enrichment Analysis

Enrichment analysis identifies GO terms and the genes associated with these that are significantly over-represented in the aberrant regions. Learn more.

Frequency Significance Testing Using STAC

The method applies the frequency of aberration at a location across the entire sample set and a footprint as the interval lengths of overlapping aberrations.

Identification of Common Aberrations

Learn what aberrations are common, and two popular approaches (GISTIC and STAC) used to determine which are statistically significant.

Mosaicism and its Effect on aCGH Measurements

Gain a better understanding of what mosaicism is, how to identify it, and how it affects the calling algorithms.
