Presentation Transcript

  1. BIT 815: Analysis of Deep Sequencing Data Variant discovery • Different approaches: With or without a reference? • With a reference • Limiting factors are CPU time and memory required • Crossbow – a cluster-based cloud computing approach • Without a reference • CPU time and RAM requirements are still limiting • Now error rate and distribution become limiting also • Statistical methods for estimating probability that a putative SNP is a true SNP are still developing • Some analytical methods require experimental designs specifically for the variant discovery objective

  2. Structural variants in 7 flavors Figure from Alkan et al, Nature Reviews Genetics 2011 doi:10.1038/nrg2958

  3. Different technologies have different resolutions Figure from Alkan et al, Nature Reviews Genetics 2011 doi:10.1038/nrg2958

  4. Four strategies for discovery of structural variation using parallel sequencing technologies All are affected by the repetitive sequence content of the genome and by sampling error Assembly de novo of a complete genome sequence is the most expensive but most complete approach Figure from Alkan et al, Nature Reviews Genetics 2011 doi:10.1038/nrg2958

  5. BIT 815: Deep Sequencing • Comparison of various methods for variant discovery, based on analysis of 185 human genomes • (a) Two microarray-based methods compared with Sanger sequencing of fosmid ends (40 kb inserts) – counts include only variants > 5 kb • (b) Three parallel-sequence-based methods compared. • The numbers of variants discovered is several-fold higher than in part (a) • There is relatively little overlap among the variants discovered using different methods Figure from Alkan et al, Nature Reviews Genetics 2011 doi:10.1038/nrg2958

  6. Small indels create problems for SNP-calling programs Incorrectly aligned Correctly aligned Incorrectly aligned Artifactual SNP calls Figure from http://samtools.sourceforge.net/mpileup.shtml

  7. Base Alignment Quality (BAQ) is one approach to dealing with the problem Figure from http://samtools.sourceforge.net/mpileup.shtml

  8. Small indels create problems for SNP-calling programs Incorrectly aligned Correctly aligned Incorrectly aligned BAQ downgrades quality scores of thesebases so they are not considered reliable by SNP-calling programs Figure from http://samtools.sourceforge.net/mpileup.shtml

  9. Short Read Multiple Aligner (SRMA) is another approach – actually re-aligns reads Figure from Homer and Nelson, Genome Biology 2010, 11:R99

  12. What about rare alleles? Comparing across pools adds to power Five alternate base calls in one of four pooled samples is unlikely to arise by chance sequencing errors alone – the p-value from the contingency table is 0.002 Five of nine alternate base calls in one pool, with one call in each of the other three, is a pattern that cannot be distinguished from that expected of sequencing errors – the contingency table p-value is 0.24
