Accucopy: accurate and fast inference of allele-specific copy number alterations from low-coverage low-purity tumor sequencing data

Abstract Background Copy number alterations (CNAs), due to their large impact on the genome, have been an important contributing factor to oncogenesis and metastasis. Detecting genomic alterations from the shallow-sequencing data of a low-purity tumor sample remains a challenging task. Results We in...
