Satmut_utils: a simulation and variant calling package for multiplexed assays of variant effect.

ABSTRACT: The impact of millions of individual genetic variants on molecular phenotypes in coding sequences remains unknown. Multiplexed assays of variant effect (MAVEs) are scalable methods to annotate relevant variants, but existing software lacks standardization, requires cumbersome configuration, and does not scale to large targets. We present satmut_utils as a flexible solution for simulation and variant quantification. We then benchmark MAVE software using simulated and real MAVE data. We finally determine mRNA abundance for thousands of cystathionine beta-synthase variants using two experimental methods. The satmut_utils package enables high-performance analysis of MAVEs and reveals the capability of variants to alter mRNA abundance.

Integrated multiplexed assays of variant effect reveal determinants of catechol-O-methyltransferase gene expression

Project description:Multiplexed assays of variant effect are powerful methods to profile the consequences of rare variants on gene expression and organismal fitness. Yet, few studies have integrated several multiplexed assays to map variant effects on gene expression in coding sequences. Here, we pioneered a multiplexed assay based on polysome profiling to measure variant effects on translation at scale, uncovering single-nucleotide variants that increase and decrease ribosome load. By combining high-throughput ribosome load data with multiplexed mRNA and protein abundance readouts, we mapped the cis-regulatory landscape of thousands of catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) variants from RNA to protein and found numerous coding variants that alter COMT expression. Finally, we trained machine learning models to map signatures of variant effects on COMT gene expression and uncovered both directional and divergent impacts across expression layers. Our analyses reveal expression phenotypes for thousands of variants in COMT and highlight variant effects on both single and multiple layers of expression. Our findings prompt future studies that integrate several multiplexed assays for the readout of gene expression

MaveDB: an open-source platform to distribute and interpret data from multiplexed assays of variant effect.

Project description:Multiplex assays of variant effect (MAVEs), such as deep mutational scans and massively parallel reporter assays, test thousands of sequence variants in a single experiment. Despite the importance of MAVE data for basic and clinical research, there is no standard resource for their discovery and distribution. Here, we present MaveDB ( https://www.mavedb.org ), a public repository for large-scale measurements of sequence variant impact, designed for interoperability with applications to interpret these datasets. We also describe the first such application, MaveVis, which retrieves, visualizes, and contextualizes variant effect maps. Together, the database and applications will empower the community to mine these powerful datasets.

Aquila_stLFR: diploid genome assembly based structural variant calling package for stLFR linked-reads.

Project description:MotivationIdentifying structural variants (SVs) is critical in health and disease, however, detecting them remains a challenge. Several linked-read sequencing technologies, including 10X Genomics, TELL-Seq and single tube long fragment read (stLFR), have been recently developed as cost-effective approaches to reconstruct multi-megabase haplotypes (phase blocks) from sequence data of a single sample. These technologies provide an optimal sequencing platform to characterize SVs, though few computational algorithms can utilize them. Thus, we developed Aquila_stLFR, an approach that resolves SVs through haplotype-based assembly of stLFR linked-reads.ResultsAquila_stLFR first partitions long fragment reads into two haplotype-specific blocks with the assistance of the high-quality reference genome, by taking advantage of the potential phasing ability of the linked-read itself. Each haplotype is then assembled independently, to achieve a complete diploid assembly to finally reconstruct the genome-wide SVs. We benchmarked Aquila_stLFR on a well-studied sample, NA24385, and showed Aquila_stLFR can detect medium to large size deletions (50 bp-10 kb) with high sensitivity and medium-size insertions (50 bp-1 kb) with high specificity.Availability and implementationSource code and documentation are available on https://github.com/maiziex/Aquila_stLFR.Supplementary informationSupplementary data are available at Bioinformatics Advances online.

Multiplexed assays of variant effects contribute to a growing genotype-phenotype atlas.

Project description:Given the constantly improving cost and speed of genome sequencing, it is reasonable to expect that personal genomes will soon be known for many millions of humans. This stands in stark contrast with our limited ability to interpret the sequence variants which we find. Although it is, perhaps, easiest to interpret variants in coding regions, knowledge of functional impact is unknown for the vast majority of missense variants. While many computational approaches can predict the impact of coding variants, they are given a little weight in the current guidelines for interpreting clinical variants. Laboratory assays produce comparatively more trustworthy results, but until recently did not scale to the space of all possible mutations. The development of deep mutational scanning and other multiplexed assays of variant effect has now brought feasibility of this endeavour within view. Here, we review progress in this field over the last decade, break down the different approaches into their components, and compare methodological differences.

Effect of lossy compression of quality scores on variant calling.

Project description:Recent advancements in sequencing technology have led to a drastic reduction in genome sequencing costs. This development has generated an unprecedented amount of data that must be stored, processed, and communicated. To facilitate this effort, compression of genomic files has been proposed. Specifically, lossy compression of quality scores is emerging as a natural candidate for reducing the growing costs of storage. A main goal of performing DNA sequencing in population studies and clinical settings is to identify genetic variation. Though the field agrees that smaller files are advantageous, the cost of lossy compression, in terms of variant discovery, is unclear.Bioinformatic algorithms to identify SNPs and INDELs use base quality score information; here, we evaluate the effect of lossy compression of quality scores on SNP and INDEL detection. Specifically, we investigate how the output of the variant caller when using the original data differs from that obtained when quality scores are replaced by those generated by a lossy compressor. Using gold standard genomic datasets and simulated data, we are able to analyze how accurate the output of the variant calling is, both for the original data and that previously lossily compressed. We show that lossy compression can significantly alleviate the storage while maintaining variant calling performance comparable to that with the original data. Further, in some cases lossy compression can lead to variant calling performance that is superior to that using the original file. We envisage our findings and framework serving as a benchmark in future development and analyses of lossy genomic data compressors.

In Silico Evaluation of Variant Calling Methods for Bacterial Whole-Genome Sequencing Assays.

Project description:Identification and analysis of clinically relevant strains of bacteria increasingly relies on whole-genome sequencing. The downstream bioinformatics steps necessary for calling variants from short-read sequences are well-established but seldom validated against haploid genomes. We devised an in silico workflow to introduce single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) and indels into bacterial reference genomes, and computationally generate sequencing reads based on the mutated genomes. We then applied the method to Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv, Staphylococcus aureus NCTC 8325, and Klebsiella pneumoniae HS11286, and used the synthetic reads as truth sets for evaluating several popular variant callers. Insertions proved especially challenging for most variant callers to correctly identify, relative to deletions and single nucleotide polymorphisms. With adequate read depth, however, variant callers that use high quality soft-clipped reads and base mismatches to perform local realignment consistently had the highest precision and recall in identifying insertions and deletions ranging from1 to 50 bp. The remaining variant callers had lower recall values associated with identification of insertions greater than 20 bp.
