Motivation: Single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) has enabled studies of tissue
composition at unprecedented resolution. However, the application of scRNA-seq to clinical
cancer samples has been limited, partly due to a lack of scRNA-seq algorithms that integrate
genomic mutation data. Results: To address this, we present CONICS: COpy-Number

Abstract
Motivation: Single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) has enabled studies of tissue composition at unprecedented resolution. However, the application of scRNA-seq to clinical cancer samples has been limited, partly due to a lack of scRNA-seq algorithms that integrate genomic mutation data. Results: To address this, we present CONICS: COpy-Number analysis In single-Cell RNA-Sequencing. CONICS is a software tool for mapping gene expression from scRNA-seq to tumor clones and phylogenies, with routines enabling: the quantitation of copy-number alterations in scRNA-seq, robust separation of neoplastic cells from tumor-infiltrating stroma, inter-clone differential-expression analysis and intra-clone co-expression analysis.
Availability and implementation: CONICS is written in Python and R, and is available from https://github. com/diazlab/CONICS.
