Correlations between changes in copy number of tandemly repeated arrays from cancer genomes

(A) Average size of the significant copy number changes for each array by percentage is depicted and summed over all cancer types. The number in each category is shown on the bar, and whether the bias in gain size is significant is indicated by asterisks based on the Wilcox rank test (∗∗p < 0.05, ∗∗∗p = 0.01, ∗∗∗∗p < 0.001).

(B) Schematic representation of the chromosomal localization of the tandemly repeated arrays on the X chromosome.

(C–F) Heatmap plots representing Spearman’s correlation coefficient for the copy number changes of tandemly repeated arrays by cancer type: (C) breast cancer, (D) medulloblastoma, (E) acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and (F) head and neck cancer.
