BubbleTree

BubbleTree

BubbleTree is an R package for analysis of tumor samples in next generation sequencing (NGS) data. The BubbleTree algorithm can estimate cancer causing cell inpurity, ploidy, clonality, and allele-sepcific copy number variation (CNV). It displays the results in a graph format. The Authors claim that BubbleTree out performs THetA2, ABSOLUTE, AbsCN-seq and ASCAT tools.
