Segmentation Summary

This Graph Builder Plot of Sample versus Physical Position plot shows the mean copy number for each chromosome and sample using a color theme. Correspondence of copy number and color is given by the legend.

Use the color theme to identify regions of a particular copy number and to visually compare results across samples and chromosomes. Sharp changes in color indicate places where the estimated copy number changes.

Use the slider bars to select ranges of the statistics.
