EagleC: A deep-learning framework for detecting a full range of structural variations from bulk and single-cell contact maps.

ABSTRACT: The Hi-C technique has been shown to be a promising method to detect structural variations (SVs) in human genomes. However, algorithms that can use Hi-C data for a full-range SV detection have been severely lacking. Current methods can only identify interchromosomal translocations and long-range intrachromosomal SVs (>1 Mb) at less-than-optimal resolution. Therefore, we develop EagleC, a framework that combines deep-learning and ensemble-learning strategies to predict a full range of SVs at high resolution. We show that EagleC can uniquely capture a set of fusion genes that are missed by whole-genome sequencing or nanopore. Furthermore, EagleC also effectively captures SVs in other chromatin interaction platforms, such as HiChIP, Chromatin interaction analysis with paired-end tag sequencing (ChIA-PET), and capture Hi-C. We apply EagleC in more than 100 cancer cell lines and primary tumors and identify a valuable set of high-quality SVs. Last, we demonstrate that EagleC can be applied to single-cell Hi-C and used to study the SV heterogeneity in primary tumors.

Project description:Accurate prediction of atomic-level protein structure is important for annotating the biological functions of protein molecules and for designing new compounds to regulate the functions. Template-based modeling (TBM), which aims to construct structural models by copying and refining the structural frameworks of other known proteins, remains the most accurate method for protein structure prediction. Due to the difficulty in recognizing distant-homology templates, however, the accuracy of TBM decreases rapidly when the evolutionary relationship between the query and template vanishes. In this study, we propose a new method, CEthreader, which first predicts residue-residue contacts by coupling evolutionary precision matrices with deep residual convolutional neural-networks. The predicted contact maps are then integrated with sequence profile alignments to recognize structural templates from the PDB. The method was tested on two independent benchmark sets consisting collectively of 1,153 non-homologous protein targets, where CEthreader detected 176% or 36% more correct templates with a TM-score >0.5 than the best state-of-the-art profile- or contact-based threading methods, respectively, for the Hard targets that lacked homologous templates. Moreover, CEthreader was able to identify 114% or 20% more correct templates with the same Fold as the query, after excluding structures from the same SCOPe Superfamily, than the best profile- or contact-based threading methods. Detailed analyses show that the major advantage of CEthreader lies in the efficient coupling of contact maps with profile alignments, which helps recognize global fold of protein structures when the homologous relationship between the query and template is weak. These results demonstrate an efficient new strategy to combine ab initio contact map prediction with profile alignments to significantly improve the accuracy of template-based structure prediction, especially for distant-homology proteins.
