Tumors from patients at the Institut Curie were assayed using array
comparative genomic hybridization.
Their normalized copy number profiles are available
as neuroblastoma$profiles and the breakpoint annotations are available
as neuroblastoma$annotations.
data(neuroblastoma)A named list of 2 data frames:
profilesA data.frame with one row for each probe, and these variables:
profile.idfactor: id of copy number profile.
chromosomefactor: chromosome on which the probe was mapped.
positioninteger: probe was mapped to this position in base pairs.
logrationumeric: normalized logratio of the probe, which should be proportional to copy number.
annotationsa data.frame with one row for each annotated region, and these variables:
profile.idfactor: id of copy number profile.
chromosomefactor: chromosome of this annotation.
mininteger: lower limit of this region in base pairs.
maxinteger: upper limit of this region in base pairs.
annotationfactor: annotation of this region,
either "normal" for no breakpoints or
"breakpoint"
for at least one breakpoint.
