Mathematical ‘Gingko trees’ reveal Mutations in single cells that characterize diseases Credit http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/nmeth.3578
A new interactive analysis program called Gingko has been released that reduces the uncertainty of single-cell analysis and provides a simple way to visualize patterns in copy number mutations across populations of cells. Detailed knowledge of CNVs can point to specific treatment regimens.
The free software will improve scientists’ ability to study this important type of genetic anomaly and could help clinicians better target medications based on cells’ specific mutation profiles.
In copy number variations (CNV), large chunks of DNA are either deleted from or added to the genome...
