MixHMM

MixHMM

MixHMM is a tool for inferring copy number variation (CNV) and allelic imbalance from single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array data. The MixHMM algorithm uses a unique hidden Markov model (HMM) for chromosomal structural aberrations as hidden states and an innovative sample mixing design to detect tumor CNV in heterogeneous samples.
