CNV-seq, a new method to detect copy number variation using high-throughput sequencing.

ABSTRACT:

Background

DNA copy number variation (CNV) has been recognized as an important source of genetic variation. Array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) is commonly used for CNV detection, but the microarray platform has a number of inherent limitations.

Results

Here, we describe a method to detect copy number variation using shotgun sequencing, CNV-seq. The method is based on a robust statistical model that describes the complete analysis procedure and allows the computation of essential confidence values for detection of CNV. Our results show that the number of reads, not the length of the reads is the key factor determining the resolution of detection. This favors the next-generation sequencing methods that rapidly produce large amount of short reads.

Conclusion

Simulation of various sequencing methods with coverage between 0.1x to 8x show overall specificity between 91.7 - 99.9%, and sensitivity between 72.2 - 96.5%. We also show the results for assessment of CNV between two individual human genomes.

CNV-TV: a robust method to discover copy number variation from short sequencing reads.

Project description:Copy number variation (CNV) is an important structural variation (SV) in human genome. Various studies have shown that CNVs are associated with complex diseases. Traditional CNV detection methods such as fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) suffer from low resolution. The next generation sequencing (NGS) technique promises a higher resolution detection of CNVs and several methods were recently proposed for realizing such a promise. However, the performances of these methods are not robust under some conditions, e.g., some of them may fail to detect CNVs of short sizes. There has been a strong demand for reliable detection of CNVs from high resolution NGS data.A novel and robust method to detect CNV from short sequencing reads is proposed in this study. The detection of CNV is modeled as a change-point detection from the read depth (RD) signal derived from the NGS, which is fitted with a total variation (TV) penalized least squares model. The performance (e.g., sensitivity and specificity) of the proposed approach are evaluated by comparison with several recently published methods on both simulated and real data from the 1000 Genomes Project.The experimental results showed that both the true positive rate and false positive rate of the proposed detection method do not change significantly for CNVs with different copy numbers and lengthes, when compared with several existing methods. Therefore, our proposed approach results in a more reliable detection of CNVs than the existing methods.

HBOS-CNV: A New Approach to Detect Copy Number Variations From Next-Generation Sequencing Data.

Project description:Copy number variation (CNV) is a genomic mutation that plays an important role in tumor evolution and tumor genesis. Accurate detection of CNVs from next-generation sequencing (NGS) data is still a challenging task due to artifacts such as uneven mapped reads and unbalanced amplitudes of gains and losses. This study proposes a new approach called HBOS-CNV to detect CNVs from NGS data. The central point of HBOS-CNV is that it uses a new statistic, the histogram-based outlier score (HBOS), to evaluate the fluctuation of genome bins to determine those of changed copy numbers. In comparison with existing statistics in the evaluation of CNVs, HBOS is a non-linearly transformed value from the observed read depth (RD) value of each genome bin, having the potential ability to relieve the effects resulted from the above artifacts. In the calculation of HBOS values, a dynamic width histogram is utilized to depict the density of bins on the genome being analyzed, which can reduce the effects of noises partially contributed by mapping and sequencing errors. The evaluation of genome bins using such a new statistic can lead to less extremely significant CNVs having a high probability of detection. We evaluated this method using a large number of simulation datasets and compared it with four existing methods (CNVnator, CNV-IFTV, CNV-LOF, and iCopyDav). The results demonstrated that our proposed method outperforms the others in terms of sensitivity, precision, and F1-measure. Furthermore, we applied the proposed method to a set of real sequencing samples from the 1000 Genomes Project and determined a number of CNVs with biological meanings. Thus, the proposed method can be regarded as a routine approach in the field of genome mutation analysis for cancer samples.

MFCNV: A New Method to Detect Copy Number Variations From Next-Generation Sequencing Data.

Project description:Copy number variation (CNV) is a very important phenomenon in tumor genomes and plays a significant role in tumor genesis. Accurate detection of CNVs has become a routine and necessary procedure for a deep investigation of tumor cells and diagnosis of tumor patients. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technique has provided a wealth of data for the detection of CNVs at base-pair resolution. However, such task is usually influenced by a number of factors, including GC-content bias, sequencing errors, and correlations among adjacent positions within CNVs. Although many existing methods have dealt with some of these artifacts by designing their own strategies, there is still a lack of comprehensive consideration of all the factors. In this paper, we propose a new method, MFCNV, for an accurate detection of CNVs from NGS data. Compared with existing methods, the characteristics of the proposed method include the following: (1) it makes a full consideration of the intrinsic correlations among adjacent positions in the genome to be analyzed, (2) it calculates read depth, GC-content bias, base quality, and correlation value for each genome bin and combines them as multiple features for the evaluation of genome bins, and (3) it addresses the joint effect among the factors via training a neural network algorithm for the prediction of CNVs. We test the performance of the MFCNV method by using simulation and real sequencing data and make comparisons with several peer methods. The results demonstrate that our method is superior to other methods in terms of sensitivity, precision, and F1-score and can detect many CNVs that other methods have not discovered. MFCNV is expected to be a complementary tool in the analysis of mutations in tumor genomes and can be extended to be applied to the analysis of single-cell sequencing data.

CNV-CH: A Convex Hull Based Segmentation Approach to Detect Copy Number Variations (CNV) Using Next-Generation Sequencing Data.

Project description:Copy number variation (CNV) is a form of structural alteration in the mammalian DNA sequence, which are associated with many complex neurological diseases as well as cancer. The development of next generation sequencing (NGS) technology provides us a new dimension towards detection of genomic locations with copy number variations. Here we develop an algorithm for detecting CNVs, which is based on depth of coverage data generated by NGS technology. In this work, we have used a novel way to represent the read count data as a two dimensional geometrical point. A key aspect of detecting the regions with CNVs, is to devise a proper segmentation algorithm that will distinguish the genomic locations having a significant difference in read count data. We have designed a new segmentation approach in this context, using convex hull algorithm on the geometrical representation of read count data. To our knowledge, most algorithms have used a single distribution model of read count data, but here in our approach, we have considered the read count data to follow two different distribution models independently, which adds to the robustness of detection of CNVs. In addition, our algorithm calls CNVs based on the multiple sample analysis approach resulting in a low false discovery rate with high precision.

MSeq-CNV: accurate detection of Copy Number Variation from Sequencing of Multiple samples.

Project description:Currently a few tools are capable of detecting genome-wide Copy Number Variations (CNVs) based on sequencing of multiple samples. Although aberrations in mate pair insertion sizes provide additional hints for the CNV detection based on multiple samples, the majority of the current tools rely only on the depth of coverage. Here, we propose a new algorithm (MSeq-CNV) which allows detecting common CNVs across multiple samples. MSeq-CNV applies a mixture density for modeling aberrations in depth of coverage and abnormalities in the mate pair insertion sizes. Each component in this mixture density applies a Binomial distribution for modeling the number of mate pairs with aberration in the insertion size and also a Poisson distribution for emitting the read counts, in each genomic position. MSeq-CNV is applied on simulated data and also on real data of six HapMap individuals with high-coverage sequencing, in 1000 Genomes Project. These individuals include a CEU trio of European ancestry and a YRI trio of Nigerian ethnicity. Ancestry of these individuals is studied by clustering the identified CNVs. MSeq-CNV is also applied for detecting CNVs in two samples with low-coverage sequencing in 1000 Genomes Project and six samples form the Simons Genome Diversity Project.

Inferring Variation in Copy Number Using High Throughput Sequencing Data in R.

Project description:Inference of copy number variation presents a technical challenge because variant callers typically require the copy number of a genome or genomic region to be known a priori. Here we present a method to infer copy number that uses variant call format (VCF) data as input and is implemented in the R package vcfR. This method is based on the relative frequency of each allele (in both genic and non-genic regions) sequenced at heterozygous positions throughout a genome. These heterozygous positions are summarized by using arbitrarily sized windows of heterozygous positions, binning the allele frequencies, and selecting the bin with the greatest abundance of positions. This provides a non-parametric summary of the frequency that alleles were sequenced at. The method is applicable to organisms that have reference genomes that consist of full chromosomes or sub-chromosomal contigs. In contrast to other software designed to detect copy number variation, our method does not rely on an assumption of base ploidy, but instead infers it. We validated these approaches with the model system of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and applied it to the oomycete Phytophthora infestans, both known to vary in copy number. This functionality has been incorporated into the current release of the R package vcfR to provide modular and flexible methods to investigate copy number variation in genomic projects.

CODEX2: full-spectrum copy number variation detection by high-throughput DNA sequencing.

Project description:High-throughput DNA sequencing enables detection of copy number variations (CNVs) on the genome-wide scale with finer resolution compared to array-based methods but suffers from biases and artifacts that lead to false discoveries and low sensitivity. We describe CODEX2, as a statistical framework for full-spectrum CNV profiling that is sensitive for variants with both common and rare population frequencies and that is applicable to study designs with and without negative control samples. We demonstrate and evaluate CODEX2 on whole-exome and targeted sequencing data, where biases are the most prominent. CODEX2 outperforms existing methods and, in particular, significantly improves sensitivity for common CNVs.

Copy number variation (CNV) identification, interpretation, and database from Brazilian patients.

Project description:Copy number variations (CNVs) constitute an important class of variation in the human genome and the interpretation of their pathogenicity considering different frequencies across populations is still a challenge for geneticists. Since the CNV databases are predominantly composed of European and non-admixed individuals, and Brazilian genetic constitution is admixed and ethnically diverse, diagnostic screenings on Brazilian variants are greatly difficulted by the lack of populational references. We analyzed a clinical sample of 268 Brazilian individuals, including patients with neurodevelopment disorders and/or congenital malformations. The pathogenicity of CNVs was classified according to their gene content and overlap with known benign and pathogenic variants. A total of 1,504 autosomal CNVs (1,207 gains and 297 losses) were classified as benign (92.9%), likely benign (1.6%), VUS (2.6%), likely pathogenic (0.2%) and pathogenic (2.7%). Some of the CNVs were recurrent and with frequency increased in our sample, when compared to populational open resources of structural variants: 14q32.33, 22q11.22, 1q21.1, and 1p36.32 gains. Thus, these highly recurrent CNVs classified as likely benign or VUS were considered non-pathogenic in our Brazilian sample. This study shows the relevance of introducing CNV data from diverse cohorts to improve on the interpretation of clinical impact of genomic variations.

Pre-capture multiplexing provides additional power to detect copy number variation in exome sequencing.

Project description:BackgroundAs exome sequencing (ES) integrates into clinical practice, we should make every effort to utilize all information generated. Copy-number variation can lead to Mendelian disorders, but small copy-number variants (CNVs) often get overlooked or obscured by under-powered data collection. Many groups have developed methodology for detecting CNVs from ES, but existing methods often perform poorly for small CNVs and rely on large numbers of samples not always available to clinical laboratories. Furthermore, methods often rely on Bayesian approaches requiring user-defined priors in the setting of insufficient prior knowledge. This report first demonstrates the benefit of multiplexed exome capture (pooling samples prior to capture), then presents a novel detection algorithm, mcCNV ("multiplexed capture CNV"), built around multiplexed capture.ResultsWe demonstrate: (1) multiplexed capture reduces inter-sample variance; (2) our mcCNV method, a novel depth-based algorithm for detecting CNVs from multiplexed capture ES data, improves the detection of small CNVs. We contrast our novel approach, agnostic to prior information, with the the commonly-used ExomeDepth. In a simulation study mcCNV demonstrated a favorable false discovery rate (FDR). When compared to calls made from matched genome sequencing, we find the mcCNV algorithm performs comparably to ExomeDepth.ConclusionImplementing multiplexed capture increases power to detect single-exon CNVs. The novel mcCNV algorithm may provide a more favorable FDR than ExomeDepth. The greatest benefits of our approach derive from (1) not requiring a database of reference samples and (2) not requiring prior information about the prevalance or size of variants.

Genome-wide copy number variation (CNV) in patients with autoimmune Addison's disease.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Addison's disease (AD) is caused by an autoimmune destruction of the adrenal cortex. The pathogenesis is multi-factorial, involving genetic components and hitherto unknown environmental factors. The aim of the present study was to investigate if gene dosage in the form of copy number variation (CNV) could add to the repertoire of genetic susceptibility to autoimmune AD. METHODS: A genome-wide study using the Affymetrix GeneChip® Genome-Wide Human SNP Array 6.0 was conducted in 26 patients with AD. CNVs in selected genes were further investigated in a larger material of patients with autoimmune AD (n = 352) and healthy controls (n = 353) by duplex Taqman real-time polymerase chain reaction assays. RESULTS: We found that low copy number of UGT2B28 was significantly more frequent in AD patients compared to controls; conversely high copy number of ADAM3A was associated with AD. CONCLUSIONS: We have identified two novel CNV associations to ADAM3A and UGT2B28 in AD. The mechanism by which this susceptibility is conferred is at present unclear, but may involve steroid inactivation (UGT2B28) and T cell maturation (ADAM3A). Characterization of these proteins may unravel novel information on the pathogenesis of autoimmunity.
