5.2 Import the genomic profiles

First, start the VAMP software (La Rosa et al., 2006) from the web-page:

http://bioinfo.curie.fr/actudb/access.php.

Then, load the array CGH profiles as follows:

1. click on File $\rightarrow$Import (see Figure 5.1(a))
2. select all the profiles in the CGH ARRAYS/douglas_2004/Arrays directory (see Figure 5.1(b))

n.b.: if you wish to import data from one specific chromosome select:

CGH ARRAYS/douglas_2004/Chromosomes/chr.. (see Figure 5.1(c))

Figure 5.1: Import Data

[File menu] [Genome wide profile import] [Chromosome profile import (optional)]

The genomic profiles are displayed in the interface as shown in Figure 5.2.
