On this noisy data, BioHMM and Rendersome often estimated the gene copy number wrongly, while this occurred only sometimes to CBS, HMM and GLAD. The method mBPCR with <a onClick="popup('http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2105/10/10/mathml/M77','MathML',630,470);return false;" target="_blank" href="http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2105/10/10/mathml/M77">View MathML</a> correctly estimated the gene copy numbers, apart from CCND1 whose copy number was estimated by all methods differently from the FISH technique.
