To obtain the inferred CNV result suitable for clonality analysis, the "subcluster" mode in inferCNV was utilized. Please refer to the attached "inferCNV.r" file for some example script to run inferCNV. A 6-state CNV model was adapted by inferCNV, and each detected CNV was predicted to be in one of the following CNV levels: State 1, complete loss; State 2, loss of 1 copy; State 3, neutral; State 4, addition of 1 copy; State 5, addition of 2 copies; and State 6 addition of more than 2 copies. The CNV was considered as “loss” for States 1 and 2 or “gain” for States 4, 5, and 6 events. Each CNV events detected was summarized in largescale genomic regions and attributed to the chromosome arm levels according to the hg38 cytoband information (http://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenpath/hg38/database/). The identified CNV types and calculated percentage of cells within each CNV type were processed in R and visualized using Uphyloplot2 (https://github.com/harbourlab/UPhyloplot2). Specifically, files (HMM_CNV_predictions.HMMi6.rand_trees.hmm_mode-subclusters.Pnorm_0.5.pred_cnv_regions and 12_HMM_preds.cell_groupings) were needed for the data wrangling in R. Finally, the cell grouping information from UPhyloplot2 (cell percentage in each subgroup) was processed and summarized in R to generate the table as shown in Supplementary Table 4 in the original publication. For the readers' convenience, I am posting some example script that I used in R for the downstream analysis using the data from inferCNV and UPhyloplot2.
