The identification of recurrent genomic alterations can provide insight into the initiation and progression of genetic diseases, such as cancer. Array-CGH can identify chromosomal regions that have been gained or lost, with a resolution of approximately 1 mb, for the cutting-edge techniques. The extraction of discrete profiles from raw array-CGH data has been studied extensively, but subsequent steps in the analysis require flexible, efficient algorithms, particularly if the number of available profiles exceeds a few tens or the number of array probes exceeds a few thousands.
