Ploidy in WGS samples

Hi everyone,

I am working with WGS cancer datasets. I downloaded the data as bam files from GDC TCGA. I want to know if there is a program to find out the ploidy of the samples.

Thank you!

Best

Lynn

There are PanCan papers published a few years ago that contain ABSOLUTE analysis. You might want to just search for PanCan in the GDC publication pages. Ploidy data is probably in one of the attachment there.
