Parsimonious higher-order hidden Markov models for improved array-CGH analysis with applications to Arabidopsis thaliana.

Array-based comparative genomic hybridization (Array-CGH) is an important technology in molecular biology for the detection of DNA copy number polymorphisms between closely related genomes. Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) are popular tools for the analysis of Array-CGH data, but current methods are only...
