MotivationWhole-genome sequencing (WGS) of tumor–normal sample pairs is a powerful approach for comprehensively characterizing germline copy number variations (CNVs) and somatic copy number alterations (SCNAs) in cancer research and clinical practice. Existing computational approaches for detecting copy number events cannot detect germline CNVs and SCNAs simultaneously, and yield low accuracy for SCNAs.ResultsIn this study, we developed TumorCNV, a novel approach for jointly detecting germline CNVs and SCNAs from WGS data of the matched tumor–normal sample pair. We compared TumorCNV with existing copy number event detection approaches using the simulated data and real data for the COLO-829 melanoma cell line. The experimental results showed that TumorCNV achieved superior performance than existing approaches.Availability and implementationThe software TumorCNV is implemented using a combination of Java and R, and it is freely available from the website at https://github.com/yongzhuang/TumorCNV.Supplementary informationSupplementary data are available atBioinformaticsonline.
