The recent development of SNP array technology has facilitated studies on copy number changes at a genome-wide scale with high resolution. However, existing copy number analysis methods are oblivious to normal cell contamination and cannot distinguish between contributions of cancerous and normal cells to the measured copy number signals. This contamination could significantly confound downstream analysis of CNAs and affect the power to detect SCEs in clinical samples.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Results: We report here a statistically principled in silico approach, Bayesian Analysis of COpy number Mixtures (BACOM), to accurately estimate genomic deletion type and normal tissue contamination, and accordingly recover the true copy number profile in cancer cells. We tested the proposed method on two simulated datasets, two prostate cancer datasets and The Cancer Genome Atlas high-grade ovarian dataset, and obtained very promising results supported by the ground truth and biological plausibility. Moreover, based on a large number of comparative simulation studies, the proposed method gives significantly improved power to detect SCEs after in silico correction of normal tissue contamination. We develop a cross-platform open-source Java application that implements the whole pipeline of copy number analysis of heterogeneous cancer tissues including relevant processing steps. We also provide an R interface, bacomR, for running BACOM within the R environment, making it straightforward to include in existing data pipelines.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Availability: The cross-platform, stand-alone Java application, BACOM, the R interface, bacomR, all source code and the simulation data used in this article are freely available at authors' web site: http:\/\/www.cbil.ece.vt.edu\/software.htm.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Contact: \u00a0yuewang@vt.edu<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Supplementary Information: \u00a0Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btr183","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,4,16]],"date-time":"2011-04-16T06:36:52Z","timestamp":1302935812000},"page":"1473-1480","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["BACOM: <i>in silico<\/i> detection of genomic deletion types and correction of normal cell contamination in copy number data"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"27","author":[{"given":"Guoqiang","family":"Yu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Bradley Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Arlington, VA 22203, 2Department of Urology, 3Department of Oncology, 4Department of Pathology, 5Department of Genetic Medicine, 6Department of Health Sciences Informatics, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD 21231, 7Center for Cancer Genomics, Wake Forest University School of Medicine, Winston-Salem, NC 27157 and 8Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD 21231, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bai","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Bradley Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Arlington, VA 22203, 2Department of Urology, 3Department of Oncology, 4Department of Pathology, 5Department of Genetic Medicine, 6Department of Health Sciences Informatics, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD 21231, 7Center for Cancer Genomics, Wake Forest University School of Medicine, Winston-Salem, NC 27157 and 8Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD 21231, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"G.
