Hi Krunal,
You should be able to use ichorCNA for your data. You do not need matched normals to analyze your samples. If you wish to use a panel of normals to help a bit with normalization, you can refer to the wiki: https://github.com/broadinstitute/ichorCNA/wiki/Create-Panel-of-Normals
Best, Gavin
Dear Gavin, Thanks for the reply. I followed the wiki to generate PoN and WIG files. We have following queries in respect of output files:

Hi Krunal,
15 normal samples is a good start. The way that the PoN is used isn't sophisticated at the moment. More samples could help but it may not make a dramatic difference.
Are you wondering whether the predicted CNAs are false positives and how you should filter them? It's a little bit difficult to answer this question because I am not sure what are FPs in your data. Do you have an example (i.e. plots)?
Hi Gavin, Thanks, Is there any way to identify our baseline (healthy samples) data properly normalized or not, as well as would like to know is there any graph or any additional file to find the normalization status.
Please check the below link as requested in respect of CNA FPs. Sample_File_IchorCNA.pdf

Hi Krunal,
Sorry for the delay.
Looking at the profile in the PDF that you attached, it looks like there are clearly copy number alterations. One thing I can bring up is that perhaps it is a female sample because chromosome X is at the same level as other chromosomes and that this sample may have experienced genome double (ploidy should be higher). In this case, I'm not sure if the technical data normalization is the problem. I think it may have to do with the actual signals in your sample. Is this sample definitely from a healthy donor or matched normal sample?
Your question regarding proper normalization - the best way is to test ichorCNA on your data on more expected healthy/normal samples.
Hope this helps, Gavin
Hi, We have sequenced data (from Ion Torrent) for Low-pass shotgun sequencing. Is shotgun sequencing data compatibility to run ichorCNA to estimate the tumor fractionas as well as copy number identification. If yes, can you please guide me how to create a baseline and how many normal (healthy) samples are required for the same.
