Illustration of CNV data. Just as for all other analyses types a global CNV profile is provided by Web-TCGA, as shown in a where the copy number status for the genes FGFR1 and PIK3CA within the entities LUSC and LUAD is shown, giving a first overview of the CNV profile, which is conducted of all samples harboring a gain or a loss. Furthermore, this profile can be created for all combinations of gains and losses alone, to distinguish the proportions of low and high level gains and losses. To further resolve these global profiles, Web-TCGA provides bar plots, as shown in b and c, for each entity chosen. These bar plots can be used to estimate the proportions of gains and losses within each entity in a much finer grain as in (a)
