Plant-ImputeDB: an integrated multiple plant reference panel database for genotype imputation.

ABSTRACT: Genotype imputation is a process that estimates missing genotypes in terms of the haplotypes and genotypes in a reference panel. It can effectively increase the density of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), boost the power to identify genetic association and promote the combination of genetic studies. However, there has been a lack of high-quality reference panels for most plants, which greatly hinders the application of genotype imputation. Here, we developed Plant-ImputeDB (http://gong_lab.hzau.edu.cn/Plant_imputeDB/), a comprehensive database with reference panels of 12 plant species for online genotype imputation, SNP and block search and free download. By integrating genotype data and whole-genome resequencing data of plants from various studies and databases, the current Plant-ImputeDB provides high-quality reference panels of 12 plant species, including ?69.9 million SNPs from 34 244 samples. It also provides an easy-to-use online tool with the option of two popular tools specifically designed for genotype imputation. In addition, Plant-ImputeDB accepts submissions of different types of genomic variations, and provides free and open access to all publicly available data in support of related research worldwide. In general, Plant-ImputeDB may serve as an important resource for plant genotype imputation and greatly facilitate the research on plant genetic research.

Project description:BackgroundGenotype imputation is a cost-effective method to generate sequence-level genotypes for a large number of animals. Its application can improve the power of genomic studies, provided that the accuracy of imputation is sufficiently high. The purpose of this study was to develop an optimal strategy for genotype imputation from genotyping array data to sequence level in German warmblood horses, and to investigate the effect of different factors on the accuracy of imputation. Publicly available whole-genome sequence data from 317 horses of 46 breeds was used to conduct the analyses.ResultsDepending on the size and composition of the reference panel, the accuracy of imputation from medium marker density (60K) to sequence level using the software Beagle 5.1 ranged from 0.64 to 0.70 for horse chromosome 3. Generally, imputation accuracy increased as the size of the reference panel increased, but if genetically distant individuals were included in the panel, the accuracy dropped. Imputation was most precise when using a reference panel of multiple but related breeds and the software Beagle 5.1, which outperformed the other two tested computer programs, Impute 5 and Minimac 4. Genome-wide imputation for this scenario resulted in a mean accuracy of 0.66. Stepwise imputation from 60K to 670K markers and subsequently to sequence level did not improve the accuracy of imputation. However, imputation from higher density (670K) was considerably more accurate (about 0.90) than from medium density. Likewise, imputation in genomic regions with a low marker coverage resulted in a reduced accuracy of imputation.ConclusionsThe accuracy of imputation in horses was influenced by the size and composition of the reference panel, the marker density of the genotyping array, and the imputation software. Genotype imputation can be used to extend the limited amount of available sequence-level data from horses in order to boost the power of downstream analyses, such as genome-wide association studies, or the detection of embryonic lethal variants.
