Copy number alterations (CNAs) play an important role in disease progression, especially in cancer. Single-cell DNA sequencing (scDNA-seq) facilitates the detection of CNAs of each cell that is sequenced at a shallow and uneven coverage. However, the state-of-the-art CNA detection tools based on scDNA-seq are still subject to genome-wide errors due to the wrong estimation of the ploidy.
