Patchwork

Patchwork

A tool for analysis and visualization of allele-specific copy number variation (CNV) and loss-of-heterozygosity (LOH) in cancer genomes. The Patchwork tool comes in two variants, Patchwork which takes BAM files as input and PatchworkCG takes CompleteGenomics files as input.
Alternative name: patchworkCG.
