Hello,

I used PSCBS and the aroma package to obtain copy number from tumor normal pairs. The code runs fine and I end up with a text file with copy number of segments. I'm however unable to figure out the meaning of some of the columns in the result file(tcnNbrOfLoci, tcnNbrOfSNPs, tcnNbrOfHets, dhNbrOfLoci). I'm also unable to find documentation that clarifies what these columns are. I'll be grateful for any explanation on what these columns stand for or a pointer to the appropriate documentation.

I have also attached a snippet of the result file below.

Thanking You,

Vakul
