Each model underwent analysis using the Illumina Infinium Omni2.5Exome-8 v1.3 or v1.4 or the Affymetrix SNP 6.0 array. These samples were processed according to PDXnet specifications1 (link) using the tumor-only procedure outlined by recommendations in ASCAT62 (link). To account for median-centered differences between the Affymetrix and Illumina chip we calculated platform specific thresholds for amplifications and deletions (0.9 and −0.9 for Affymetrix CN ratios, and 0.6 and −0.6 for Illumina CN ratios; ED Figure 3). The gene set chosen for Figure 1a was curated from a set of four breast cancer or pan-cancer publications63 (link),64 (link) as well as sentinel genes, i.e., genes that represent a larger genomic region, from public and commercial sources including FoundationOne, cBioPortal, and Ambry Genetics Corporation. These extra genes include FGF3, CDK12, NOTCH2, H3P6, SIPA1L3, ADCY9, FAM72C, SDK2, CDK18, STX4, TNFRSF10C, NKX3–1, LYN, JAK1, JAK2, CD274, PDCD1LG2, ERBB4, BARD1, BRCA1, BRCA2, BRIP1, CDH1, CHEK2, MRE11A, MUTYH, NBN, NP1, PALB2, RAD50, RAD51C, and RAD51D.
