Illumina human exome genotyping array clustering and quality control.

ABSTRACT: With the rise of high-throughput sequencing technology, traditional genotyping arrays are gradually being replaced by sequencing technology. Against this trend, Illumina has introduced an exome genotyping array that provides an alternative approach to sequencing, especially suited to large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWASs). The exome genotyping array targets the exome plus rare single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), a feature that makes it substantially more challenging to process than previous genotyping arrays that targeted common SNPs. Researchers have struggled to generate a reliable protocol for processing exome genotyping array data. The Vanderbilt Epidemiology Center, in cooperation with Vanderbilt Technologies for Advanced Genomics Analysis and Research Design (VANGARD), has developed a thorough exome chip-processing protocol. The protocol was developed during the processing of several large exome genotyping array-based studies, which included over 60,000 participants combined. The protocol described herein contains detailed clustering techniques and robust quality control procedures, and it can benefit future exome genotyping array-based GWASs.

Project description:Understanding early predictors of sow fertility has the potential to improve genomic predictions. A custom SNP array (SowPro90 produced by Affymetrix) was developed to include genetic variants overlapping quantitative trait loci for age at puberty, one of the earliest indicators of sow fertility, as well as variants related to innate and adaptive immunity. The polymorphisms included in the custom genotyping array were identified using multiple genomic approaches including deep genomic and transcriptomic sequencing and genome-wide associations. Animals from research and commercial populations (n = 2,586) were genotyped for 103,476 SNPs included in SowPro90. To assess the quality of data generated, genotype concordance was evaluated between the SowPro90 and Porcine SNP60 BeadArray using a subset of common SNP (n = 44,708) and animals (n = 277). The mean genotype concordance rate per SNP was 98.4%. Differences in distribution of data quality were observed between the platforms indicating the need for platform specific thresholds for quality parameters. The optimal thresholds for SowPro90 (≥97% SNP and ≥93% sample call rate) were obtained by analyzing the data quality distribution and genotype concordance per SNP across platforms. At ≥97% SNP call rate, there were 42,151 SNPs (94.3%) retained with a mean genotype concordance of 98.6% across platforms. Similarly, ≥94% SNPs and ≥85% sample call rates were established as thresholds for Porcine SNP60 BeadArray. At ≥94% SNPs call rate, there were 41,043 SNPs (91.8%) retained with a mean genotype concordance of 98.6% across platforms. Final evaluation of SowPro90 array content (n = 103,476) at ≥97% SNPs and ≥93% sample call rates allowed retention of 89,040 SNPs (86%) for downstream analysis. The findings and strategy for quality control could be helpful in identifying consistent, high-quality genotypes for genomic evaluations, especially when integrating genotype data from different platforms.
