A forward-backward fragment assembling algorithm for the identification of genomic amplification and deletion breakpoints using high-density single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array

Table 2 Comparison of computing time*

* Comparison was made in R 2.4.1 on a desktop computer running the Windows XP^® operating system. CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3800+ @ 2.4 GHz; RAM: 1.2 Gb. The CPU time for the tumor sample CZ T26 was reported. For FASeg, aCGH, DNAcopy and GLAD, the ten parameters listed in Table 1 were tested and the average CPU time was reported. For Picard, ten maxSeg values between 2 and 20 were tested and the average CPU time was reported. For RJaCGH and BioHMM, the parameters listed in Table 1 were used.
