Computational Methods for the Analysis of Array Comparative Genomic Hybridization
نویسندگان
چکیده
Array comparative genomic hybridization (array CGH) is a technique for assaying the copy number status of cancer genomes. The widespread use of this technology has lead to a rapid accumulation of high throughput data, which in turn has prompted the development of computational strategies for the analysis of array CGH data. Here we explain the principles behind array image processing, data visualization and genomic profile analysis, review currently available software packages, and raise considerations for future software development.

Molecular Dissection Using Array Comparative Genomic Hybridization and Clinical Evaluation of An Infertile Male Carrier of An Unbalanced Y;21 Translocation: A Case Report and Review of The Literature
Chromosomal defects are relatively frequent in infertile men however, translocations between the Y chromosome and autosomes are rare and less than 40 cases of Y-autosome translocation have been reported. In particular, only three individuals has been described with a Y;21 translocation, up to now. We report on an additional case of an infertile man in whom a Y;21 translocation was associated wi...

Background: Karyotype analysis has been the standard and reliable procedure for prenatal cytogenetic diagnosis since the 1970s. However, the major limitation remains requirement for cell culture, resulting in a delay of as much as 14 days to get the test results.CGH array technology has proven to be useful in detecting causative genomic imbalances or genetic mutations in as many as 15% of child...
متن کاملA Genome-Wide Analysis of Array-Based Comparative Genomic Hybridization (CGH) Data to Detect Intra-Species Variations and Evolutionary Relationships
Array-based comparative genomics hybridization (aCGH) has gained prevalence as an effective technique for measuring structural variations in the genome. Copy-number variations (CNVs) form a large source of genomic structural variation, but it is not known whether phenotypic differences between intra-species groups, such as divergent human populations, or breeds of a domestic animal, can be attr...
متن کاملDevelopment and implementation of an analysis tool for array-based comparative genomic hybridization.
OBJECTIVES Array-comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) is a high-throughput method to detect and map copy number aberrations in the genome. Multi-step analysis of high-dimensional data requires an integrated suite of bioinformatic tools. In this paper we detail an analysis pipeline for array CGH data. METHODS We developed an analysis tool for array CGH data which supports single and multi-...

Array-based comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) uses multiple genomic clones arrayed on a slide to detect relative copy number of tumor DNA sequences. Application of array CGH to tumor specimens makes genetic diagnosis of cancers possible and may help to differentiate relevant subsets of tumors, biologically and clinically, which would allow better prognostic and therapeutic decision making...
