a. Validation on cell line data. Validation of the classification scheme on cell line data with FISH experiments for detecting ecDNA from the Turner et al. and deCarvalho et al. studies, in addition to newly generated data. FISH probes were designed for selected oncogenes and DAPI staining was performed to determine whether the FISH probe landed on chromosomal DNA or ecDNA. For each cell (represented as an image of the cell in metaphase), the number of positive ecDNA probes were counted, and for each cell line, the average positive ecDNA per cell was reported. For each probe, we report whether it landed in an amplicon (inferred from AmpliconArchitect), and if so, what was the amplicon’s classification. The distribution for the average ecDNA per cell between the Circular and non-circular classes was statistically significantly different (p-value < 1e-9; Wilcoxon rank sum test). b–d. Whole-genome sequencing derived based Circular amplicon regions (blue) were validated with Circle-seq (red) for three neuroblastoma samples (CB2001, CB2022, and CB2050, respectively) used in the Koche et al. study.
