Abstract
The disclosure provides methods for estimating tumor purity from tumor samples without use of matched-normal controls. A set of genomic regions are identified based on a nucleic acid sequence data that is aligned to a reference genome. Each genomic region of the set of genomic regions includes one or more nucleotide-sequence variants relative to a corresponding genomic region of the reference genome. A B-allele frequency distribution for the biological sample is determined based on a B-allele frequency determined for each genomic region of the set of genomic regions. The B-allele frequency distribution is processed using a trained machine-learning model to estimate a metric identifying tumor purity in the biological sample.
