Questions about the calculation of CCF
Opened this issue · 0 comments
Hi, thank you very much for your greate package! I have some questions about how to calculate CCF:
(1) We I only have total copy number, I set up minor_cn = 0 and major_cn = toltal copy number as you describe in #19. I would like to ask the details of the calculation whether half of the total copy number will be automatically assigned to minor_cn and major_cn?
(2) I found that the current version of pyclone-vi provides only the CCF value of the cluster, not the CCF value of each mutation. May I ask if the CCF value of cluster is the average of all the CCF values in the clsuter?
(3) I got my vcf file from Mutect2, and the file is simply read as follows:
> head(vcf)
V1 V2 V9 V10
1 chr1 69511 GT:AD:AF:DP:F1R2:F2R1:FAD:SB 0/1:0,480:0.997:480:0,175:0,145:0,327:0,0,275,205

Could I use the AF value as VAF value? And I found that a large number of AF values are greater than 0.5, and the CCF values calculated from them may be greater than 1. Are these normal?
