CGH-Multiple Sample Analysis (CGH-MSA)

What MSA does:

• Analysis of microarray based copy number data for the determination of chromosomal aberrations.
• Identification of concordant aberration across multiple samples. Uses multiple experiment as replication to identify important chromosomal regions.
