Tumors from patients at the Institut Curie were assayed using array
comparative genomic hybridization.
Their normalized copy number profiles are available
as neuroblastoma$profiles
and the breakpoint annotations are available
as neuroblastoma$annotations
.
data(neuroblastoma)
A named list of 2 data frames:
profiles
A data.frame with one row for each probe, and these variables:
profile.id
factor: id of copy number profile.
chromosome
factor: chromosome on which the probe was mapped.
position
integer: probe was mapped to this position in base pairs.
logratio
numeric: normalized logratio of the probe, which should be proportional to copy number.
annotations
a data.frame with one row for each annotated region, and these variables:
profile.id
factor: id of copy number profile.
chromosome
factor: chromosome of this annotation.
min
integer: lower limit of this region in base pairs.
max
integer: upper limit of this region in base pairs.
annotation
factor: annotation of this region,
either "normal"
for no breakpoints or
"breakpoint"
for at least one breakpoint.
