CGH of 17 colon cancer cell lines, hi-resolution image

Copy numbers of chromosome segments estimated by CGH, using ploidy information from the karyotype. Each coloured bar represents the copy number of a chromosome in a particular cell line, different colours representing different copy numbers according to the key shown. For example, for chromosome 1, the bar nearest the ideogram represents DLD1 and shows that in DLD1 there are two copies (yellow) of most of chromosome 1, but three copies of distal 1p (green). Cell lines from left to right: first group, RER+: DLD1 (nearest to chromosome ideogram), GP2d, HCT116, LoVo, LS174T, VACO5 HCA7, LS411; second group, RER-: C70, HT29, LIM1863, SW1417, SW403, SW480, SW620, SW837, VACO4A (furthest from chromosome ideogram).
