Interactive analysis and assessment of single-cell copy-number variations

We present an open-source web platform, Ginkgo (http://qb.cshl.edu/ginkgo), for the analysis and assessment of single-cell copy-number variations (CNVs). Ginkgo automatically constructs copy-number profiles of cells from mapped reads and constructs phylogenetic trees of related cells. We validate Gi...

Sumario:We present an open-source web platform, Ginkgo (http://qb.cshl.edu/ginkgo), for the analysis and assessment of single-cell copy-number variations (CNVs). Ginkgo automatically constructs copy-number profiles of cells from mapped reads and constructs phylogenetic trees of related cells. We validate Ginkgo by reproducing the results of five major studies and examine the characteristics of three commonly used single-cell amplification techniques to conclude degenerate oligonucleotide-primed PCR to be the most consistent for CNV analysis.
