MVisAGe - Compute and Visualize Bivariate Associations

Pearson and Spearman correlation coefficients are commonly used to quantify the strength of bivariate associations of genomic variables. For example, correlations of gene-level DNA copy number and gene expression measurements may be used to assess the impact of DNA copy number changes on gene expression in tumor tissue. 'MVisAGe' enables users to quickly compute and visualize the correlations in order to assess the effect of regional genomic events such as changes in DNA copy number or DNA methylation level.

DiNAMIC.Duo - Finding Recurrent DNA Copy Number Alterations and Differences

In tumor tissue, underlying genomic instability can lead to DNA copy number alterations, e.g., copy number gains or losses. Sporadic copy number alterations occur randomly throughout the genome, whereas recurrent alterations are observed in the same genomic region across multiple independent samples, perhaps because they provide a selective growth advantage. Here we use cyclic shift permutations to identify recurrent copy number alterations in a single cohort or recurrent copy number differences in two cohorts based on a common set of genomic markers. Additional functionality is provided to perform downstream analyses, including the creation of summary files and graphics. DiNAMIC.Duo builds upon the original DiNAMIC package of Walter et al. (2011) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btq717> and leverages the theory developed in Walter et al. (2015) <doi:10.1093/biomet/asv046>. An article describing DiNAMIC.Duo by Walter et al. (2022) can be found at <doi: 10.1093/bioinformatics/btac542>.

dinamic - A Method to Analyze Recurrent DNA Copy Number Aberrations in Tumors

In tumor tissue, underlying genomic instability can lead to DNA copy number alterations, e.g., copy number gains or losses. Sporadic copy number alterations occur randomly throughout the genome, whereas recurrent alterations are observed in the same genomic region across multiple independent samples, perhaps because they provide a selective growth advantage. This package implements the DiNAMIC procedure for assessing the statistical significance of recurrent DNA copy number aberrations (Bioinformatics (2011) 27(5) 678 - 685).
