Project description:Current methods for detection of copy number aberrations (CNA) from whole-exome sequencing (WES) data are based on the read counts of the captured exons only. However, accurate CNA determination is complicated by the non-uniform read depth and uneven distribution of exons. Therefore, we developed ENCODER (ENhanced COpy number Detection from Exome Reads), which eludes these problems. By exploiting the ‘off-target’ sequence reads, it allows for creation of robust copy number profiles from WES. The accuracy of ENCODER compares to approaches specifically designed for copy number detection, and outperforms current exon-based WES methods, particularly in samples of low quality.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Copy number variations are important in the detection and progression of significant tumors and diseases. Recently, Whole Exome Sequencing is gaining popularity with copy number variations detection due to low cost and better efficiency. In this work, we developed VEGAWES for accurate and robust detection of copy number variations on WES data. VEGAWES is an extension to a variational based segmentation algorithm, VEGA: Variational estimator for genomic aberrations, which has previously outperformed several algorithms on segmenting array comparative genomic hybridization data. RESULTS:We tested this algorithm on synthetic data and 100 Glioblastoma Multiforme primary tumor samples. The results on the real data were analyzed with segmentation obtained from Single-nucleotide polymorphism data as ground truth. We compared our results with two other segmentation algorithms and assessed the performance based on accuracy and time. CONCLUSIONS:In terms of both accuracy and time, VEGAWES provided better results on the synthetic data and tumor samples demonstrating its potential in robust detection of aberrant regions in the genome.

Project description:Copy Number Variants (CNVs) are structural rearrangements contributing to phenotypic variation that have been proved to be associated with many disease states. Over the last years, the identification of CNVs from whole-exome sequencing (WES) data has become a common practice for research and clinical purpose and, consequently, the demand for more and more efficient and accurate methods has increased. In this paper, we demonstrate that more than 30% of WES data map outside the targeted regions and that these reads, usually discarded, can be exploited to enhance the identification of CNVs from WES experiments. Here, we present EXCAVATOR2, the first read count based tool that exploits all the reads produced by WES experiments to detect CNVs with a genome-wide resolution. To evaluate the performance of our novel tool we use it for analysing two WES data sets, a population data set sequenced by the 1000 Genomes Project and a tumor data set made of bladder cancer samples. The results obtained from these analyses demonstrate that EXCAVATOR2 outperforms other four state-of-the-art methods and that our combined approach enlarge the spectrum of detectable CNVs from WES data with an unprecedented resolution.

Project description:BACKGROUND:With the rapid development of whole exome sequencing (WES), an increasing number of tools are being proposed for copy number variation (CNV) detection based on this technique. However, no comprehensive guide is available for the use of these tools in clinical settings, which renders them inapplicable in practice. To resolve this problem, in this study, we evaluated the performances of four WES-based CNV tools, and established a guideline for the recommendation of a suitable tool according to the application requirements. RESULTS:In this study, first, we selected four WES-based CNV detection tools: CoNIFER, cn.MOPS, CNVkit and exomeCopy. Then, we evaluated their performances in terms of three aspects: sensitivity and specificity, overlapping consistency and computational costs. From this evaluation, we obtained four main results: (1) The sensitivity increases and subsequently stabilizes as the coverage or CNV size increases, while the specificity decreases. (2) CoNIFER performs better for CNV insertions than for CNV deletions, while the remaining tools exhibit the opposite trend. (3) CoNIFER, cn.MOPS and CNVkit realize satisfactory overlapping consistency, which indicates their results are trustworthy. (4) CoNIFER has the best space complexity and cn.MOPS has the best time complexity among these four tools. Finally, we established a guideline for tools' usage according to these results. CONCLUSION:No available tool performs excellently under all conditions; however, some tools perform excellently in some scenarios. Users can obtain a CNV tool recommendation from our paper according to the targeted CNV size, the CNV type or computational costs of their projects, as presented in Table 1, which is helpful even for users with limited knowledge of computer science.

Project description:MotivationThe ability to detect copy-number variation (CNV) and loss of heterozygosity (LOH) from exome sequencing data extends the utility of this powerful approach that has mainly been used for point or small insertion/deletion detection.ResultsWe present ExomeCNV, a statistical method to detect CNV and LOH using depth-of-coverage and B-allele frequencies, from mapped short sequence reads, and we assess both the method's power and the effects of confounding variables. We apply our method to a cancer exome resequencing dataset. As expected, accuracy and resolution are dependent on depth-of-coverage and capture probe design.AvailabilityCRAN package 'ExomeCNV'.Contactfsathira@fas.harvard.edu; snelson@ucla.eduSupplementary informationSupplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Copy number variants (CNVs) are known to play an important role in the development and progression of several diseases. However, detection of CNVs with whole-exome sequencing (WES) experiments is challenging. Usually, additional experiments have to be performed. FINDINGS:We developed a novel algorithm for somatic CNV calling in matched WES data called "CopyDetective". Different from other approaches, CNV calling with CopyDetective consists of a 2-step procedure: first, quality analysis is performed, determining individual detection thresholds for every sample. Second, actual CNV calling on the basis of the previously determined thresholds is performed. Our algorithm evaluates the change in variant allele frequency of polymorphisms and reports the fraction of affected cells for every CNV. Analyzing 4 WES data sets (n = 100) we observed superior performance of CopyDetective compared with ExomeCNV, VarScan2, ControlFREEC, ExomeDepth, and CNV-seq. CONCLUSIONS:Individual detection thresholds reveal that not every WES data set is equally apt for CNV calling. Initial quality analyses, determining individual detection thresholds-as realized by CopyDetective-can and should be performed prior to actual variant calling.
