An adaptive decorrelation method removes Illumina DNA base-calling errors caused by crosstalk between adjacent clusters.

ABSTRACT: Base-calling accuracy is crucial for high-throughput DNA sequencing and downstream analysis such as read mapping and genome assembly. Accordingly, we made an endeavor to reduce DNA sequencing errors of Illumina systems by correcting three kinds of crosstalk in the cluster intensity data. We discovered that signal crosstalk between adjacent clusters accounts for a large portion of sequencing errors in Illumina systems, even after correcting color crosstalk caused by the overlap of dye emission spectra and phasing/pre-phasing caused by out-of-step nucleotide synthesis. Interestingly and importantly, spatial crosstalk between adjacent clusters is cluster-specific and often asymmetric, which cannot be corrected by existing deconvolution methods. Therefore, we introduce a novel mathematical method able to estimate and remove spatial crosstalk, thereby reducing base-calling errors by 44-69% at a given mapping rate from Illumina systems. Furthermore, the resolution gained from this work provides new room for higher throughput of DNA sequencing and of general measurement systems using fluorescence-based imaging technology. The resulting base-caller 3Dec is available for academic users at http://github.com/flishwnag/3dec. Not only does it reduce 62.1% errors compared to the standard pipeline, but also its implementation is fast enough for daily sequencing.

BFC: correcting Illumina sequencing errors.

Project description:UnlabelledBFC is a free, fast and easy-to-use sequencing error corrector designed for Illumina short reads. It uses a non-greedy algorithm but still maintains a speed comparable to implementations based on greedy methods. In evaluations on real data, BFC appears to correct more errors with fewer overcorrections in comparison to existing tools. It particularly does well in suppressing systematic sequencing errors, which helps to improve the base accuracy of de novo assemblies.Availability and implementationhttps://github.com/lh3/bfcContacthengli@broadinstitute.orgSupplementary informationSupplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

Reliable variant calling during runtime of Illumina sequencing.

Project description:The sequential paradigm of data acquisition and analysis in next-generation sequencing leads to high turnaround times for the generation of interpretable results. We combined a novel real-time read mapping algorithm with fast variant calling to obtain reliable variant calls still during the sequencing process. Thereby, our new algorithm allows for accurate read mapping results for intermediate cycles and supports large reference genomes such as the complete human reference. This enables the combination of real-time read mapping results with complex follow-up analysis. In this study, we showed the accuracy and scalability of our approach by applying real-time read mapping and variant calling to seven publicly available human whole exome sequencing datasets. Thereby, up to 89% of all detected SNPs were already identified after 40 sequencing cycles while showing similar precision as at the end of sequencing. Final results showed similar accuracy to those of conventional post-hoc analysis methods. When compared to standard routines, our live approach enables considerably faster interventions in clinical applications and infectious disease outbreaks. Besides variant calling, our approach can be adapted for a plethora of other mapping-based analyses.

FermiKit: assembly-based variant calling for Illumina resequencing data.

Project description:FermiKit is a variant calling pipeline for Illumina whole-genome germline data. It de novo assembles short reads and then maps the assembly against a reference genome to call SNPs, short insertions/deletions and structural variations. FermiKit takes about one day to assemble 30-fold human whole-genome data on a modern 16-core server with 85 GB RAM at the peak, and calls variants in half an hour to an accuracy comparable to the current practice. FermiKit assembly is a reduced representation of raw data while retaining most of the original information.https://github.com/lh3/fermikithengli@broadinstitute.org.

A new model calling procedure for Illumina BeadArray data.

Project description:BackgroundAccurate genotype calling for high throughput Illumina data is an important step to extract more genetic information for a large scale genome wide association studies. Many popular calling algorithms use mixture models to infer genotypes of a large number of single nucleotide polymorphisms in a fast and efficient way. In practice, mixture models are mostly restricted to infer genotypes for common SNPs where their minor allele frequencies are quite large. However, it is still challenging to accurately genotype rare variants, especially for some rare variants where the boundaries of their genotypes are not clearly defined.ResultsTo further improve the call accuracy and the quality of genotypes on rare variants, a new model calling procedure, named M-D, is proposed to infer genotypes for the Illumina BeadArray data. In this calling procedure, a Gaussian Mixture Model and a Dirichlet Process Gaussian Mixture Model are integrated to infer genotypes.ConclusionsApplications to Illumina data illustrate that this new approach can improve calling performance compared to other popular genotyping algorithms.

Nanopore Base Calling on the Edge.

Project description:MinION is a portable nanopore sequencing device that can be easily operated in the field with features including monitoring of run progress and selective sequencing. To fully exploit these features, real-time base calling is required. Up to date, this has only been achieved at the cost of high computing requirements that pose limitations in terms of hardware availability in common laptops and energy consumption. We developed a new base caller DeepNano-coral for nanopore sequencing, which is optimized to run on the Coral Edge Tensor Processing Unit, a small USB-attached hardware accelerator. To achieve this goal, we have designed new versions of two key components used in convolutional neural networks for speech recognition and base calling. In our components, we propose a new way of factorization of a full convolution into smaller operations, which decreases memory access operations, memory access being a bottleneck on this device. DeepNano-coral achieves real-time base calling during sequencing with the accuracy slightly better than the fast mode of the Guppy base caller and is extremely energy efficient, using only 10 W of power. https://github.com/fmfi-compbio/coral-basecaller.

Probabilistic base calling of Solexa sequencing data.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Solexa/Illumina short-read ultra-high throughput DNA sequencing technology produces millions of short tags (up to 36 bases) by parallel sequencing-by-synthesis of DNA colonies. The processing and statistical analysis of such high-throughput data poses new challenges; currently a fair proportion of the tags are routinely discarded due to an inability to match them to a reference sequence, thereby reducing the effective throughput of the technology. RESULTS: We propose a novel base calling algorithm using model-based clustering and probability theory to identify ambiguous bases and code them with IUPAC symbols. We also select optimal sub-tags using a score based on information content to remove uncertain bases towards the ends of the reads. CONCLUSION: We show that the method improves genome coverage and number of usable tags as compared with Solexa's data processing pipeline by an average of 15%. An R package is provided which allows fast and accurate base calling of Solexa's fluorescence intensity files and the production of informative diagnostic plots.

Measurement error and variant-calling in deep Illumina sequencing of HIV.

Project description:MotivationNext-generation deep sequencing of viral genomes, particularly on the Illumina platform, is increasingly applied in HIV research. Yet, there is no standard protocol or method used by the research community to account for measurement errors that arise during sample preparation and sequencing. Correctly calling high and low-frequency variants while controlling for erroneous variants is an important precursor to downstream interpretation, such as studying the emergence of HIV drug-resistance mutations, which in turn has clinical applications and can improve patient care.ResultsWe developed a new variant-calling pipeline, hivmmer, for Illumina sequences from HIV viral genomes. First, we validated hivmmer by comparing it to other variant-calling pipelines on real HIV plasmid datasets. We found that hivmmer achieves a lower rate of erroneous variants, and that all methods agree on the frequency of correctly called variants. Next, we compared the methods on an HIV plasmid dataset that was sequenced using Primer ID, an amplicon-tagging protocol, which is designed to reduce errors and amplification bias during library preparation. We show that the Primer ID consensus exhibits fewer erroneous variants compared to the variant-calling pipelines, and that hivmmer more closely approaches this low error rate compared to the other pipelines. The frequency estimates from the Primer ID consensus do not differ significantly from those of the variant-calling pipelines.Availability and implementationhivmmer is freely available for non-commercial use from https://github.com/kantorlab/hivmmer.Supplementary informationSupplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

M(3): an improved SNP calling algorithm for Illumina BeadArray data.

Project description:SummaryGenotype calling from high-throughput platforms such as Illumina and Affymetrix is a critical step in data processing, so that accurate information on genetic variants can be obtained for phenotype-genotype association studies. A number of algorithms have been developed to infer genotypes from data generated through the Illumina BeadStation platform, including GenCall, GenoSNP, Illuminus and CRLMM. Most of these algorithms are built on population-based statistical models to genotype every SNP in turn, such as GenCall with the GenTrain clustering algorithm, and require a large reference population to perform well. These approaches may not work well for rare variants where only a small proportion of the individuals carry the variant. A fundamentally different approach, implemented in GenoSNP, adopts a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-based model to infer genotypes of all the SNPs in one individual, making it an appealing alternative to call rare variants. However, compared to the population-based strategies, more SNPs in GenoSNP may fail the Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium test. To take advantage of both strategies, we propose a two-stage SNP calling procedure, named the modified mixture model (M(3)), to improve call accuracy for both common and rare variants. The effectiveness of our approach is demonstrated through applications to genotype calling on a set of HapMap samples used for quality control purpose in a large case-control study of cocaine dependence. The increase in power with M(3) is greater for rare variants than for common variants depending on the model.AvailabilityM(3) algorithm: http://bioinformatics.med.yale.edu/group.Contactname@bio.com; hongyu.zhao@yale.eduSupplementary informationSupplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

All Your Base: a fast and accurate probabilistic approach to base calling.

Project description:The accuracy of base calls produced by Illumina sequencers is adversely affected by several processes, with laser cross-talk and cluster phasing being prominent. We introduce an explicit statistical model of the sequencing process that generalizes current models of phasing and cross-talk and forms the basis of a base calling method which improves on the best existing base callers, especially when comparing the number of error-free reads. The novel algorithms implemented in All Your Base (AYB) are comparable in speed to other competitive base-calling methods, do not require training data and are designed to be robust to gross errors, producing sensible results where other techniques struggle. AYB is available at http://www.ebi.ac.uk/goldman-srv/AYB/.
