PROFILE
Junran Cao
During a two-month period, J. Cao enhanced the hartwigmedical/hmftools repository by developing features focused on improving genomic analysis accuracy and reliability. Working primarily in Java and leveraging expertise in bioinformatics and genomics, Cao refined the PURPLE analysis tool by excluding specific HLA regions from copy-number fitting, improving visualization of excluded regions, and introducing population frequency-based hotspot variant selection. Additionally, Cao improved the SomaticPurityFitter by implementing targeted filtering of immune region variants in tumor-only mode, reducing false positives in somatic purity estimation. The work demonstrated a thoughtful approach to complex genomic data challenges, with careful attention to downstream analytical impact.

Dec 1, 2024December 2024 monthly summary for hartwigmedical/hmftools focused on enhancing tumor-only somatic purity estimation. Delivered a targeted improvement to SomaticPurityFitter by filtering out variants located in excluded immune regions when operating in tumor-only mode. This change increases the accuracy of purity estimates, reduces potential false positives, and strengthens the reliability of downstream analyses in somatic variant calling pipelines. The feature was implemented via a check in isFittingCandidate to skip variants based on chromosomal position. Relevant commit: 9960a9fa356d3200b1170026b1c7b8dd6fb5cd61.
