PureCN

PureCN

PureCN package is for detection of copy number variation (CNV) and single nucleotide variation classification in targeted sequencing data. The PureCN algorithm estimates tumor purity, CNV, loss of heterozygosity (LOH), contamination, and classifies single nucleotide variants (SNVs) by somatic status and clonality. The algorithm integrates well with various somatic variant detection pipelines.
