High-throughput methods for single cell copy number sequencing have enabled the profiling of thousands of cells in parallel, yet there remains a significant bottleneck for data analysis. Here we present CopyKit, a comprehensive set of computational methods for the pre-processing and analysis of single cell copy number data to resolve clonal substructure and reconstruct genetic lineages in tumors. We performed single cell DNA sequencing of 2977 cells from multiple spatial regions in two liver metastasis and 7365 cells from three primary tumors with matched metastatic tissues. In the liver metastases, CopyKit resolved clonal substructure in different spatial regions, which revealed both clonal intermixing and spatial segregation in the tumor mass. In the matched metastatic colorectal and breast cancers, CopyKit resolved metastatic lineages and identified subclones and genomic events that were associated with metastases. These applications show that CopyKit is comprehensive tool for resolving copy number substructure in tumors.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
