Hello all,

The Broad Institute did the CNV analysis for the TCGA samples. The only information I have been able to find about the reference genome* does not give the version of hg19 they are using. I have two questions:

  1. Is hg19 exactly the same as Ensembl's GRCh37?
  2. It looks from the Ensembl site that the data has had various patches and updates. I have a list of CNV start end co-ordinates and want to extract the genes involved. How much difference will it make if I use a version with the wrong patches?

Thanks,
Stephanie

For the autosomes and sex chromosomes, hg19 and GRCh37 are the same. For the purposes of start and end coordinates, the patches won't make a difference for the standard chromosomes.
