Tutorial: How to Visualize Copy Number Analysis Segments and LogRs in Affymetrix’s GTC Browser
Affymetrix provides a robust genome browser with its Genotyping Console software that enables you to visualize log2 ratios (referred to as LogRs) and copy number variations (CNVs) for each sample in your dataset. This tutorial will lead you step-by-step through exporting CNV segments and LogRs ...
Importing Affymetrix 5.0 and 6.0 marker maps (annotation files) for Copy Number Analysis
Affymetrix 5.0 and 6.0 annotation files come in two separate files, one containing SNP probes and the other copy number probes. In order to properly process and analyze 5.0 and 6.0 data for copy number analysis you need the set merged and imported into HelixTree. HelixTree makes this easy usin ...
Affymetrix Library Files
For mapping arrays prior to to the SNP 5.0 and SNP 6.0 arrays, you must have the corresponding library file installed for each type of mapping array you want to import. SNP 5.0 and 6.0 mapping arrays do not require library files. If you have GCOS installed, it is likely the library files are al ...
