Wide Peak Limits: The 'wide peak' boundaries most likely to contain the targeted genes.  These are listed in genomic coordinates and marker (or probe) indices.

Peak Limits: The boundaries of the region of maximal amplification or deletion.

Region Limits: The boundaries of the entire significant region of amplification or deletion.

Q values: The Q value of the peak region.

Residual Q values: The Q value of the peak region after removing ('peeling off') amplifications or deletions that overlap other, more significant peak regions in the same chromosome.

Broad or Focal: Identifies whether the region reaches significance due primarily to broad events (called 'broad'), focal events (called 'focal'), or independently significant broad and focal events (called 'both').

Amplitude Threshold: Key giving the meaning of values in the subsequent columns associated with each sample.

Each of the analyzed samples is represented in one of the columns following the

lesion data (columns 10 through end). The data contained in these columns varies

The first section can be identified by the key given in column 9 - it starts in

row 2 and continues until the row that reads 'Actual Copy Change Given.' This

section contains summarized data for each sample.  A '0' indicates that the

copy number of the sample was not amplified or deleted beyond the threshold

amount in that peak region. A '1' indicates that the sample had low-level copy

number aberrations (exceeding the low threshold indicated in column 9), and a

'2' indicates that the sample had high-level copy number aberrations (exceeding

the high threshold indicated in column 9).

The second section can be identified the rows in which column 9 reads 'Actual

Copy Change Given.'  The second section exactly reproduces the first section,

except that here the actual changes in copy number are provided rather than

The final section is similar to the first section, except that here only broad

events are included. A 1 in the samples columns (columns 10+) indicates that

the median copy number of the sample across the entire significant region
