Allele-specific copy-number discovery from whole-genome and whole-exome sequencing
Copy-number variants (CNVs) are a major form of genetic variation and a risk factor for various human diseases, so it is crucial to accurately detect and characterize them. It is conceivable that allele-specific reads from high-throughput sequencing data could be leveraged to both enhance CNV detection and produce allele-specific copy number (ASCN) calls. Although statistical methods have been ...
متن کاملWhole exome and whole genome sequencing.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The purpose of this review is to describe the new DNA sequencing technologies referred to as next-generation sequencing (NGS). These new methods are becoming central to research in human disease and are starting to be used in routine clinical care. RECENT FINDINGS Advances in instrumentation have dramatically reduced the cost of DNA sequencing. An individual's entire genome ...
متن کاملDiscovery and statistical genotyping of copy-number variation from whole-exome sequencing depth.
Sequencing of gene-coding regions (the exome) is increasingly used for studying human disease, for which copy-number variants (CNVs) are a critical genetic component. However, detecting copy number from exome sequencing is challenging because of the noncontiguous nature of the captured exons. This is compounded by the complex relationship between read depth and copy number; this results from bi...
متن کاملComparing whole genome sequencing and exome sequencing
Introduction Next-generation DNA sequencing empowers scientists to identify genetic variations associated with human disease at higher resolution and greater sensitivity than previously possible. Two approaches are commonly employed -exome sequencing and whole genome sequencing. Exome sequencing targets protein-coding regions comprising approximately 1% of the human genome, while whole genome s...
متن کاملO-38: Concurrent Whole-Genome Haplotyping and Copy-Number Profiling of Single Cells
Background Methods for haplotyping and DNA copynumber typing of single cells are paramount for studying genomic heterogeneity and enabling genetic diagnosis. Before analyzing the DNA of a single cell by microarray or next-generation sequencing, a whole-genome amplification (WGA) process is required, but it substantially distorts the frequency and composition of the cell’s alleles. As a conseque...
