I am currently working on data obtained from proton sequencing (IonTorrent) on bulk tumor micro FFPE samples, using panels for exome targeting. Although I've came across some literature on that issue I am not quite experienced so I would like to ask what are the most popular algorithms/software on inferring copy number variations (CNVs) from single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) variant allele frequencies (VAFs). Here's an example of my data

Hi ceruleanivy,
In R you might be able to do this using dplyr/tidyr functions.
- Convert the data to long format (sample-snpid-depth1-depth2-genotype).
- Calculate the allelic depth ratios in a new column.
- Standardise the distributions of the two alleles.
- Split data fram by genotype
- group_by(snpid)
- Test for standardised depth ratios for normal distribution.
- Bin the results into windows of 100Kb first, to see if any big deletions/duplications show-up.
..or try this program https://sourceforge.net/projects/excavator2tool/ published a few months ago https://academic.oup.com/nar/article/44/20/e154/2607979/Enhanced-copy-number-variants-detection-from-whole
