Local read haplotagging enables accurate long-read small variant calling.

ABSTRACT: Long-read sequencing technology has enabled variant detection in difficult-to-map regions of the genome and enabled rapid genetic diagnosis in clinical settings. Rapidly evolving third-generation sequencing platforms like Pacific Biosciences (PacBio) and Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) are introducing newer platforms and data types. It has been demonstrated that variant calling methods based on deep neural networks can use local haplotyping information with long-reads to improve the genotyping accuracy. However, using local haplotype information creates an overhead as variant calling needs to be performed multiple times which ultimately makes it difficult to extend to new data types and platforms as they get introduced. In this work, we have developed a local haplotype approximate method that enables state-of-the-art variant calling performance with multiple sequencing platforms including PacBio Revio system, ONT R10.4 simplex and duplex data. This addition of local haplotype approximation simplifies long-read variant calling with DeepVariant.

Project description:BackgroundStructural variant (SV) calling from DNA sequencing data has been challenging due to several factors, including the ambiguity of short-read alignments, multiple complex SVs in the same genomic region, and the lack of "truth" datasets for benchmarking. Additionally, caller choice, parameter settings, and alignment method are known to affect SV calling. However, the impact of FASTQ read order on SV calling has not been explored for long-read data.ResultsHere, we used PacBio DNA sequencing data from 15 Caenorhabditis elegans strains and four Arabidopsis thaliana ecotypes to evaluate the sensitivity of different SV callers on FASTQ read order. Comparisons of variant call format files generated from the original and permutated FASTQ files demonstrated that the order of input data affected the SVs predicted by each caller. In particular, pbsv was highly sensitive to the order of the input data, especially at the highest depths where over 70% of the SV calls generated from pairs of differently ordered FASTQ files were in disagreement. These demonstrate that read order sensitivity is a complex, multifactorial process, as the differences observed both within and between species varied considerably according to the specific combination of aligner, SV caller, and sequencing depth. In addition to the SV callers being sensitive to the input data order, the SAMtools alignment sorting algorithm was identified as a source of variability following read order randomization.ConclusionThe results of this study highlight the sensitivity of SV calling on the order of reads encoded in FASTQ files, which has not been recognized in long-read approaches. These findings have implications for the replication of SV studies and the development of consistent SV calling protocols. Our study suggests that researchers should pay attention to the input order sensitivity of read alignment sorting methods when analyzing long-read sequencing data for SV calling, as mitigating a source of variability could facilitate future replication work. These results also raise important questions surrounding the relationship between SV caller read order sensitivity and tool performance. Therefore, tool developers should also consider input order sensitivity as a potential source of variability during the development and benchmarking of new and improved methods for SV calling.
