NanoStringNormCNV

NanoStringNormCNV

NanoStringNormCNV is a tool for pre-processing and copy number variation (CNV) calling from NanoString data. The algorithm obtains a cohort mean by computing sample averages and normalized to obtain sample-specific data. It detects CNVs from count ratios of probes or genes and uses kernel density to compute thresholds, that are either set or dynamically computed range for pooled reference.
