LUMPY: a probabilistic framework for structural variant discovery.

ABSTRACT: Comprehensive discovery of structural variation (SV) from whole genome sequencing data requires multiple detection signals including read-pair, split-read, read-depth and prior knowledge. Owing to technical challenges, extant SV discovery algorithms either use one signal in isolation, or at best use two sequentially. We present LUMPY, a novel SV discovery framework that naturally integrates multiple SV signals jointly across multiple samples. We show that LUMPY yields improved sensitivity, especially when SV signal is reduced owing to either low coverage data or low intra-sample variant allele frequency. We also report a set of 4,564 validated breakpoints from the NA12878 human genome. https://github.com/arq5x/lumpy-sv.

Project description:Short tandem repeats on the male-specific region of the Y chromosome (Y-STRs) are permanently linked as haplotypes, and therefore Y-STR sequence diversity can be considered within the robust framework of a phylogeny of haplogroups defined by single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Here we use massively parallel sequencing (MPS) to analyse the 23 Y-STRs in Promega's prototype PowerSeq™ Auto/Mito/Y System kit (containing the markers of the PowerPlex® Y23 [PPY23] System) in a set of 100 diverse Y chromosomes whose phylogenetic relationships are known from previous megabase-scale resequencing. Including allele duplications and alleles resulting from likely somatic mutation, we characterised 2311 alleles, demonstrating 99.83% concordance with capillary electrophoresis (CE) data on the same sample set. The set contains 267 distinct sequence-based alleles (an increase of 58% compared to the 169 detectable by CE), including 60 novel Y-STR variants phased with their flanking sequences which have not been reported previously to our knowledge. Variation includes 46 distinct alleles containing non-reference variants of SNPs/indels in both repeat and flanking regions, and 145 distinct alleles containing repeat pattern variants (RPV). For DYS385a,b, DYS481 and DYS390 we observed repeat count variation in short flanking segments previously considered invariable, and suggest new MPS-based structural designations based on these. We considered the observed variation in the context of the Y phylogeny: several specific haplogroup associations were observed for SNPs and indels, reflecting the low mutation rates of such variant types; however, RPVs showed less phylogenetic coherence and more recurrence, reflecting their relatively high mutation rates. In conclusion, our study reveals considerable additional diversity at the Y-STRs of the PPY23 set via MPS analysis, demonstrates high concordance with CE data, facilitates nomenclature standardisation, and places Y-STR sequence variants in their phylogenetic context.
