SNPs vs structural variation

A - Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)
4
What are SNPs and why are they important?
• SNP = single nucleotide polymorphism
• It’s the differences that matter:
• Human vs chimp: 98% identical (<2 differences every 100bp)
• Between any 2 individuals: 1 difference every 1000bp
• Disease: A or G == life or death
• Mutations can result in:
• change in level of transcription or translation (loss/gain)
• change in protein structure

SNP discovery - overview
generate sequence reads
➡ map reads to reference sequence
➡ convert from read-based to position-based (“pileup”)
➡ identify differences

alignment mapping quality
Intermezzo: quality scores
“Phred-score”: used for sequence quality as well as mapping quality
Chance of 1/1000 that read is mapped at wrong position = 10-3 => phred-score = 30Chance of 1/100 that read is mapped at wrong position = 10-2 => phred-score = 20
Sanger encoding: quality score 30 = “>”

Heterozygous SNPs and the binomial distribution
SNPs are bi-allelic => allele combinations for heterozygous SNP follow binomial distribution
outcome = binary (red/white, head/tail, yes/no, A/G)probability p of the outcome of a single draw is the same for all draws
E.g. 8 A’s + 12 G’s = SNP?hypothesis: heterozygous => nr of draws = 20; nr of “successes” = 8; probability p of outcome in single draw = 0.5
table with cumulative bionomial probabilities: http://bit.ly/cumul_binom_prob
8 A’s given coverage of 20 => cumulative probability = 0.252 > 0.05=> heterozygote

SNP filtering
2 aspects:
• filtering to improve quality of SNP calls
• filtering to find likely candidates
30
Reduce false positives without increasing false negatives:
• depth of coverage
• mapping quality
• SNP clusters
• allelic balance (diploid genome)
• number of reads with mq0
• consequence

Filtering to find likely candidates
Which are the most interesting?
• only highqual: DP, QUAL, AB, but keep eye on Ti/Tv
• novel
• loss-of-function (stop gained, splice site, ...) or predicted to be damaging (non-synonymous)
• found in multiple individuals
• conserved
• homozygous non-reference or compound heterozygous
38
Disease model
• dominant: a single heterozygous SNP is damaging
• recessive: either homozygous non-reference or compound heterozygous necessary to lead to disease phenotype
(e.g. phenylketonuria: cannot convert phenylalanine to tyrosine. Can lead to: mental retardation, microcephaly, ...)

B - Structural variation
40
Why bother?
Iafrate et al, Nat Genet 2004 & Sebat et al, Science 2004
Redon et al, Nature 2006: 12% of genome is covered by copy number variable regions (270 individuals) => more nucleotide content per genome than SNPs
• colour vision in primates
• CCL3L1 copy number -> susceptibility to HIV
• AMY1 copy number -> diet
=> “the dynamic genome”

47
Types of structural variation
48
Aerts & Tyler-Smith, In: Encyclopedia of Life Sciences, 2009
CNV = Copy Number Variation
Copy number variation (CNV)
Not equally distributed over genome: more pericentromeric and subtelomeric (especially in primates)
Pericentromeric & subtelomeric regions: bias towards interchromosomal rearrangements; interstitial regions: bias towards intrachromosomal
Generation of duplications:
pericentromeric: 2-stage model (Sharp & Eichler, 2006)
1. series of seeding events: one of more progenitor loci transpose together to pericentromeric receptor => generates mosaic block of duplicated segments derived from different loci
2. inter- & intrachromosomal duplication => large blocks are duplicated near other centromeres
subtelomeric: due to normal recombination: cross-overs lead to translocation of distal sequences between chromosomes
49
Copy number variation and segmental duplications
Close relationship between CNVs and segmental duplications (aka low-copy repeats aka LCRs; genomic regions with >1 copy that are at least 1kb long and have at least 90% sequence similarity):
• Copy number variation that is fixed in population = segmental duplication (in other words: segmental duplications started out themselves as copy number variations)
• Segmental duplications can stimulate formation of new CNVs due to NAHR (see later)
➡In human + chimp: 70-80% of inversions and 40% of insertions/deletions overlap with segmental duplications
➡80% of human segmental duplications arose after the divergence of Great Aples from the rest of the primates
50
Effects of structural variation
51
Feuk et al, 2006
Mechanisms of formation for structural variation
52
Gu et al, 2008
Mechanisms: NAHR
53
NAHR = non-allelic homologous recombination
often between segmental duplications
• can recur
• clustered breakpoints
• larger
Hastings et al, 2009
Mechanisms: NHEJ
54
Gu et al, 2008
NHEJ = non-homologous end-joining
pathway to repair double-strand breaks, but may lead to translocations and telomere fusion
not associated with segmental duplications
• more scattered
• unique origins
• smaller
Mechanisms: FoSTeS
55
Hastings et al, 2009
FoSTeS = DNA replication fork-stalling and template switching
can occur multiple times in series => can generate very complex rearrangements
Feuk et al, 2006
Discovery of structural variation
56
Approaches for discovery
• karyotyping, fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH)
• array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH)
• next-generation sequencing: combination of:
• read pair information
• read depth information
• split read information
• for fine-mapping breakpoints: local assembly
=> identify signatures

64
General principle
• Similar to aCGH: using reference RD file (e.g. from 1000Genomes Project)
• In theory: higher resolution, but noisier than aCGH
• Algorithms not mature yet
• More complex steps

CNV = copy number variation
Combining CNV data for >1 individuals/samples
70
CNVR = copy number variation region
CNVR = any region covered by at least 1 CNV
71
CNVE = copy number variation event
CNVE = subgroups of CNVR with >= 50% reciprocal overlap
Data normalization
• Mainly: GC
• Other: repeat-rich regions, mapping Q, ...
• Fit linear model GC-content and RD => noise decreases
72
Segmentation
• Identify spikes
• Many segmentational algorithms, e.g. GADA
• Issues: setting parameters: when to cut off peaks?
• Combine outputs from different runs with different parameters
• Compare to known CNVs

Drawbacks
• Can only find unbalanced structural variation (i.e. CNVs)
• How to assess specificity and sensitivity? => compare with known CNVs
• Database of Genomic Variants DGV (http://projects.tcag.ca/variation/)
• Decipher (http://decipher.sanger.ac.uk/)
• Breakpoints: unknown
• Different parameters for rare vs common CNVs => which?
78
Structural variation discovery: read pairs
79
50
Korbel et al, 2007
Discordant readpairs
• Orientation
• Distance
• Plot insert size distribution for chromosome
• Very long tail!! => difficult to set cutoff: 4 MAD or 0.01%?
80
Read pair signatures
Medvedev et al, 2009
81
Real data
82
Read pair workflow
1. Map reads
2. Identify discordant pairs
3. Cluster on location
4. Filter on number of readpairs per cluster
5. Filter on read depth
6. Filter on mapping quality for read pairs
7. Identify signatures
8. (Optionally) create alternative reference
9. Validate

Clustering
• “standard clustering strategy”
• only consider mate pairs that do not have concordant mappings
• ignore read pairs that have more than one good mapping
• clustering: use insert size distribution (e.g. 2x4 MAD)
89
Clustering: issues
• Ignores pairs that have >1 good mapping => no detection within repetitive regions (segmental duplications)
• What cutoff for what is considered abnormal distance? (4 MAD? 0.01%? 2stdev?)
• Low library quality of mix of libraries => multiple peaks in size distribution
90
Filtering
• On number of RPs per cluster
• normally: n = 2
• for high coverage (e.g. 1000Genomes pilot 2: 80X): n = 5
• On drop in read depth and split reads
• On (mappingQ x nrRP)
• if published data available: look at specificity and sensitivity for different cutoffs mQ x nrRP
• if not: very difficult
91
Filtering: issues
• Large insert size: low resolution for detecting breakpoints
• Small insert size: low resolution for detecting complex regions
92
Structural variation discovery: split reads
93
Mapping
• short subsequences => many possible mappings
• solution: “anchored split mapping” (e.g. Pindel)
94
Medvedev et al, 2009
Local reassembly
• Aim: to determine breakpoints
• Which reads?
• for deletions: local reads
• for insertions: hanging reads for read pairs with only one read mapped
• (rather not: unmapped reads)
• For large region: split up

General conclusions NGS & structural variation (1)
General conclusions NGS & structural variation (2)
• Available algorithms: more to demonstrate technique than comprehensive solution
• Difficult => different software = different results => “consensus set”
• based on read pairs and split reads: many sets agree
• based on read depth: totally different
• sometimes drop in read depth, but no aberrant read pairs spanning the region => why???
• Mapper = critical; maq/bwa: only 1 mapping (=> many false negatives); mosaik, mrFAST: return more results

Exercises
105
Finding SNPs using Galaxy
Based on the SAM-file you created in Galaxy in the last lecture, create a list of SNPs. You’ll first have to convert the SAM file to BAM, then create a pileup and finally filter the pileup (using “Filter pileup on coverage and SNPs”). Let this filter only return variants where the coverage is larger than 3 and the base quality is larger than 20.
How many SNPs do you find?
Calculate a histogram of the coverage over all SNPs (= column 4 in the filtered file you just created)
106
Finding SNPs using samtools
Using the SAM file you created in the last lecture on the linux command line: Generate a BAM file and sort it. Next, generate a pileup for that BAM file using ~jaerts/i0d51a/chr9.fa as the reference sequence. When doing this: only print the variant sites and also compute the reference sequence (run “samtools pileup” without arguments to get more info).
How many SNPs are identified? Is the SNP at position 139,391,636 heterozygous or homozygous-non-reference? And the one at 139,399,365? Do you trust the SNP at 139,401,304?
107
Annotating and filtering SNPs
Download ~jaerts/i0d51a/sift.input to your own machine and then upload it to the SIFT website at http://bit.ly/siftsnp. Positions in this file are on Homo sapiens build NCBI36. Make sure to let SIFT send the results by email.
How many SNPs are in/near genes?
How many are in exons?
What percentage of the SNPs is predicted damaging?

Structural variation
We’ll be looking at copy number variation using the cnv-seq package. This software is available from http://tiger.dbs.nus.edu.sg/cnv-seq/We’ll be running the example from the cnv-seq tutorial at http://tiger.dbs.nus.edu.sg/cnv-seq/doc/manual.pdf. (Read that!)• Log into the server mentioned on Toledo.•Calculate CNVs in the file ~jaerts/i0d51a/test_1.hits compared to ~jaerts/
i0d51a/ref_1.hits:
/mnt/apps/cnv-seq/current/cnv-seq.pl --test ~jaerts/i0d51a/test_1.hits --ref ~jaerts/i0d51a/ref_1.hits --genome chrom1 --log2 0.6 -p 0.001 --bigger-window 1.5 --annotate --minimum-windows 4
• Finally investigate in R. Start R by typing “R”. Then:library(cnv)data <- read.delim(’test_1.hits-vs-ref_1.hits.log2-0.6.pvalue-0.001.miw-4.cnv’)cnv.print(data)cnv.summary(data)plot.cnv(data, CNV=4, upstream=4e+6, downstream=4e+6)ggsave(’sample_1.pdf’)
• Describe the main features in the plot.
