UPDATE: If you aim to infer allele- and clone-specific copy-number aberrations (CNAs) from bulk tumor samples, we recommend that you use [HATCHet](https://github.com/raphael-group/hatchet), an new algorithm with several improvements over THetA.
SUMMARY========================================================================
This software is for estimating tumor purity (fraction of non-cancerous cells)
and clonal/subclonal copy number aberrations from high-throughput DNA
sequencing data for a tumor normal pair.
