CNVMetrics

Copy Number Variant Metrics

Bioconductor version: 3.23 · Package version: 1.16.0

The CNVMetrics package calculates similarity metrics to facilitate copy number variant comparison among samples and/or methods. Similarity metrics can be employed to compare CNV profiles of genetically unrelated samples as well as those with a common genetic background. Some metrics are based on the shared amplified/deleted regions while other metrics rely on the level of amplification/deletion. The data type used as input is a plain text file containing the genomic position of the copy number variations, as well as the status and/or the log2 ratio values. Finally, a visualization tool is provided to explore resulting metrics.
