Can ABSOLUTE be used on Illumina 450k array copy number variation data?

Question

[n.verburg]

Dear all,

Does anyone know if it is possible to run the ABSOLUTE algorithm on copy number data derived from a Illumina 450k bead array (by using ChAMP or conumee package)?

I have tried to run the R version of ABSOLUTE and the GenePattern site but they only allow the select a SNP array.

Thank you.

Best,

Yes - I think that this should be possible. Please see a related question: Ploidy Analysis in R
