  1. Note that the purity column represents the proportion of “tumor” cells in the simulated data. Subcolone1 and Subcolone2 columns represent the proportions of subcolone 1 and 2 in the simulated data, respectively. When purity is 1 and subclone1 is 1, it means that all data are from subclone1 and it essentially like a sequencing data from a normal genome
