Σύνοψη	Single-cell copy number variation (scCNV) analysis detects gains and losses of genomic segments within individual cells, enabling researchers to resolve intratumor heterogeneity, reconstruct clonal evolution, and distinguish malignant from normal cells at single-cell resolution. It can be applied to single-cell whole-genome sequencing data directly or inferred from read-depth signals in scRNA-seq or scATAC-seq experiments.	Variant calling is the computational process of identifying positions in a sequenced genome that differ from a reference sequence — including single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), small insertions and deletions (indels), and structural variants. It transforms aligned sequencing reads into an interpretable catalogue of genetic differences, forming the foundation for population genetics, disease-gene discovery, and clinical genomics applications.
