Copy Number Variation Detection Using Total Variation.


ABSTRACT: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies offer new opportunities for precise and accurate identification of genomic aberrations, including copy number variations (CNVs). For high-throughput NGS data, using depth of coverage has become a major approach to identify CNVs, especially for whole exome sequencing (WES) data. Due to the high level of noise and biases of read-count data and complexity of the WES data, existing CNV detection tools identify many false CNV segments. Besides, NGS generates a huge amount of data, requiring to use effective and efficient methods. In this work, we propose a novel segmentation algorithm based on the total variation approach to detect CNVs more precisely and efficiently using WES data. The proposed method also filters out outlier read-counts and identifies significant change points to reduce false positives. We used real and simulated data to evaluate the performance of the proposed method and compare its performance with those of other commonly used CNV detection methods. Using simulated and real data, we show that the proposed method outperforms the existing CNV detection methods in terms of accuracy and false discovery rate and has a faster runtime compared to the circular binary segmentation method.
