A novel SNP analysis method to detect copy number alterations with an unbiased reference signal directly from tumor samples

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Genomic instability in cancer leads to abnormal genome copy number alterations (CNA) as a mechanism underlying tumorigenesis. Using microarrays and other technologies, tumor CNA are detected by comparing tumor sample CN to normal ref...
