HSEGHMM: HIDDEN MARKOV MODEL-BASED ALLELE-SPECIFIC COPY NUMBER ALTERATION ANALYSIS ACCOUNTING FOR HYPERSEGMENTATION

hsegHMM: hidden Markov model-based allele-specific copy number alteration analysis accounting for hypersegmentation

Abstract Background Somatic copy number alternation (SCNA) is a common feature of the cancer genome and is associated with cancer etiology and prognosis.The allele-specific SCNA analysis of a tumor sample aims to identify the allele-specific copy numbers of both alleles, adjusting for the ploidy and the tumor purity.Next generation sequencing platf

Changes in magnetic resonance imaging before and after autologous stem cell transplantation correlate with response and survival in multiple myeloma

In multiple myeloma, focal lesions, as well as diffuse and variegated infiltration patterns, can be detected by magnetic resonance imaging.In the Wax current study, we compared treatment response in 100 myeloma patients with changes in infiltration patterns in whole Homewares body magnetic resonance imaging before and after autologous stem cell tra
