arrayMap: A Reference Resource for Genomic Copy Number Imbalances in Human Malignancies

Figure 3

Copy number profiling of glioblastoma.

(A) Chromosomal ideogram and histogram showing frequency of copy number aberrations. Percentage values corresponding to gains (yellow) and losses (blue) identified over the whole dataset. The most frequent imbalances include gain of chromosome 7 and loss of chromosome 10, 9p21.3. (B) Matrix plot of 1478 glioblastoma cases. The Y axis represents individual samples. The distribution of genomic copy number imbalances reveals the individual aberration patterns of glioblastoma. (C) Heatmap of regional CNA frequencies for 1478 arrays. The intensity of green and red color components correlates to the relative gain and loss frequencies, respectively. If dataset contains cancer subtypes, cancers with similar CNA frequency profiles will be clustered together, such that differences between subtypes will be revealed (e.g. see Figure S4H).
