Can anyone recommend some reliable software for CNV detection in cancer cells for Illumina WGS data?

Hi
I am the developer of CNAnorm which is designed for normalisation, segmentation, GC correction and plotting of copy number data from very low coverage (~ 0.05X) whole genome sequencing. It also works with higher coverage (obviously takes more time and you will need a few tweeks) and some report using it sucesfully on exome capture data.
Please read this post where other users posted their questions and I provided some suggestions.
good luck -
Hi, stefanoberri, I am not able to access the paper for CNAnorm, could you mind to send me the paper in mailbox: [email protected]? I appreciate it !Comment

Hi, sorry for the late reply.
Here you can find the preprint of the article and the supplemental materialLast edited by stefanoberri; 08-15-2012, 08:47 AM.Comment

Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.
The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.

With the launch of new single-cell sequencing platforms in 2026, the field stands at an exciting inflection point. This article surveys the most impactful advances in the field and discusses how they’re reshaping research in cancer, immunology, and beyond.
Introduction
Single-cell sequencing technologies have undergone remarkable advances over the past decade, transitioning from low-throughput experimental approaches to highly scalable platforms capable of...05-22-2026, 06:42 AM -
Studying ecosystems means dealing with complex, multi-species communities that are hard to observe at scale. This complexity, however, hides many important questions to be answered, from how biogeochemical cycles work and how climate change can affect species distribution to how conservation strategies can work best.
Genomics, particularly since the expansion of NGS, has transformed ecosystem ecology. By sequencing environmental DNA, we can now assess biodiversity without direct...05-06-2026, 09:04 AM
