Data were collected at the Harvard Partners Microarray Core Facility. Inferred copy number states of each SNP were extracted and converted from .CEL files into signal intensities using GCOS and Affymetrix Copy Number Analysis Tool (CNAT) v4.0.1. We utilized the HMM-based algorithm with defaults for tuning parameters, Gaussian smoothing, transition decay, and median scaling.
The 'GSE20939_tumor_copy_number.txt' file, which is linked to the Series GSE20939 record as a supplementary file, contains the (blood-adjusted) tumor copy number calls used in our final analyses.
