Hi,

I'd suggest that you use the Paired PSCBS segmentation method and the
LOH caller proposed in the PSCBS paper:

A.B. Olshen*, H. Bengtsson*, P. Neuvial, P. Spellman, R.A. Olshen,
V.E. Seshan, Parent-specific copy number in paired tumor-normal
studies using circular binary segmentation, Bioinformatics, 2011.
http://aroma-project.org/publications/

There is no high-level pipeline for doing this in the Aroma framework.
 We hope to get one up some day, but in the meanwhile, you can use the
PSCBS package directly as suggested in vignette 'Paired
parent-specific copy-number segmentation (Paired PSCBS) (low-level API
after AS-CRMAv2)':

  http://aroma-project.org/vignettes/PairedPSCBS-lowlevel

To call LOH after the segmentation step, just call callLOH(), but you
first also need to call allelic-balance (AB) via callAB(), so do
something like:

fit <- segmentByPairedPSCBS(df, verbose=verbose);
fit <- callAB(fit, verbose=verbose);
fit <- callLOH(fit, verbose=verbose);

and the columns 'abCall' and 'lohCall' (and a few others) will be
added to the table of segments.

BTW, by default Paired PSCBS will do TumorBoost for you (see above
article), so you don't have to do it explicitly.  However, since
you've already done it, you can let segmentByPairedPSCBS() know by
setting argument 'tbn=FALSE'.  However however, the above vignette
doesn't show how to extract the genotype calls nor the
TumorBoost-normalized BAFs, so it is probably just easier to start
with the signals before TumorBoost.

Hope this helps

Henrik

When reporting problems on aroma.affymetrix, make sure 1) to run the latest 
version of the package, 2) to report the output of sessionInfo() and 
traceback(), and 3) to post a complete code example.
