Figure 3

Theoretical resolving power of CNAG, dChip and CNAT with reference sets of 2, 50, 106 and 214 (see Methods and Figure 1 legend). The resolving power was defined as the average size of the smallest one-copy deletion or duplication that could be detected with a given method at a given confidence level. The theoretical p-value (in log₁₀ scale) is shown as a function of the deletion (A) or duplication (B) size detected from Affymetrix GeneChip 100 K Xba and Hind data. For a given p-value, e.g. 10^-5, the theoretical minimum size of detectable deletion or duplication is shown for each method. For a deletion or duplication of a given size, e.g. 400,000 bp, the theoretical p-values are shown for each method.
