Description
Double minute chromosomes ( are small, circular fragments of highly amplified extrachromosomal DNA that harbor oncogenes (Figure 1 If DMs are reduced, this can decrease the malignancy of cancer and potentially prolong life and/or positively affect quality of life In order to reduce DMs they must first be detected The visualization of Hi C sequencing data makes it possible to infer DMs based on their chromatin touch patterns However, statistical analyses of Hi C touch patterns can potentially reduce false positives in algorithms that predict the location of DM amplicons in Hi C data The purpose of this research is to statistically quantify the confidence of predicted double minute amplicons using Hi C sequencing data
