Accurate Inference of Tumor Purity and Absolute Copy Numbers From High-Throughput Sequencing Data.

abstract：:Satellite ncRNAs are emerging as key players in cell and cancer pathways. Cancer-linked satellite DNA hypomethylation seems to be responsible for the overexpression of satellite non-coding DNAs in several tumors. FA-SAT is the major satellite DNA of Felis catus and recently, its presence and transcription was describe...
