This tutorial covers a basic workflow for whole genome CNV analysis and association testing using the univariate segmentation process in SVS. The tutorial is built around the Affymetrix 500K array, but the workflows are generally applicable to most SNP microarray platforms as well as most aCGH platforms. There are some anomalies with Illumina microarray data where certain analysis steps may not directly apply. For more information on what to be aware of with Illumina data, see CNV Analysis Tips for Illumina Data.
Requirements
To complete this tutorial you will need to download and unzip the following file, which includes several datasets.

Files included in the above ZIP file:
- Sample CNV Data Project file - contains Phenotype, PCA Corrected Data and Segmentation Output spreadsheets.
- The dataset in this project file is based on the results of the CNV QC tutorial. That tutorial has 200 samples that were reviewed for various quality measurements, with 190 samples eventually selected for analysis. Here, we start with those 190 samples after applying a PCA correction to the Log Ratio Data based on the first 7 principal components. We also provide univariate segmentation results for these 190 subjects.
We hope you enjoy the experience and look forward to your feedback.
