CGHnormaliter: a bioconductor package for normalization of array CGH data with many CNAs.

Summary: CGHnormaliter is a package for normalization of array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) data. It uses an iterative procedure that effectively eliminates the influence of imbalanced copy numbers. This leads to a more reliable assessment of copy number alterations (CNAs). CGHnormaliter is integrated in the Bioconductor environment allowing a smooth link to visualization tools and further data analysis. Availability and Implementation: The CGHnormaliter package is implemented in R and under GPL 3.0 license available at Bioconductor: http://www.bioconductor.org.
