  • exome copy number and LOH

    Hi folks,
    Can anyone recommend a good tool for exome copy number analysis on Illumina data?

    Ideally, but not necessarily, it would be a tool that includes GC correction.

    We have an in-house tool that was built up on Genome data, but applying the same tool to exome data is tricky due to the higher noise, and sporadic coverage

    Hello,

    Use CNVnator from the 1000 Genomes guys.
    But you will have to be careful at the exome boundaries, its best to filter out such CNV calls.

      Hi,

      I don't see any statement that CNVnator works for exome data. I imagine that is hard as the target enrichment process would introduce a heavy bias in read count per exome...

      Any counter-arguments welcome...

        Hello,

        True CNVnator does not work for Exome data. That is why I said
        "be careful at the exome boundaries, its best to filter out such CNV calls."

        This can be done using a script which has the co-ordinates for the regions enriched and hence can filter out all CNV at the boundaries and the Intron regions. Any how the interest is only in the CNV regions inside Exons so while that can be detected, the CNV breakpoint detection might not be possible if it lies in an Intronic region.

        To best of my knowledge there is no tools for CNV detection that can work with out any manual intervention with Exonic data.

          Thanks for the helpful responses. I'm a little surprised that there aren't any tools that aren't tailored for exome CNV. However, I haven't been able to find anything via google, etc.

          Anyone else have a suggestion?

            What kind of data do you have?
            As in, is it a paired Cancer Normal data?

            Because if it was then you can use a paired approach which minimizes the False Positive rate due to enrichment. As the introns are common to both and hence are neglected.

              CLC Bio has a copy number variation tool that works with exome data. I personally am skeptical that exome hybridization is quantitative however.

                Thanks everyone.
                The samples I usually look at are tumour normal pairs of exome data. The best results I have gotten are achieved by filtering reads that align outside baits. This as mentioned above reduces bias created from varying bait efficiency. Then I use an HMM to partition into Copy Number regions.

                I have samples where we get reasonable looking CNV results, albeit at a much lower resolution that with genomes. I am just checking with everyone to see which, if any, tools have been advertised specific to exome data.

                  Dear rcorbett,

                  CNAseg http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20966003, the approach is bit similar to yours.

                  For a paired data you can also use CNVseq http://tiger.dbs.nus.edu.sg/CNV-seq/ , works ok with paired data and that exome only problem should not trouble you much with a paired data set.
                  Though you might need to do some filtering at the end.

                  Has anyone used the CLC Bio CNV caller that works with exome data??

                      thanks gprakhar for the link

                      here is another recently released exome CNV program:



                      I have not tried it yet

                        ExomeCNV great

                        Hi All,

                        We have implemented this locally and had great success. Very solid results so long as the intersample correlations meet minimum thresholds. Hope this is helpful.

                          Hi Brett,

                          Are you talking about ExomeCNV? or the other one here http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2164/12/184 ?

                              Hi,
                              I have been trying to implement ExomeCNV for analysing some
                              copy number variation data. It requires some data pre-processing.

                              I have downloaded bunch of perl and shell script from their ftp and
                              used them for processing

                              BAM Files > pileup > wig > exon_parsed_wig > exon parsed coverage file.

                              but apparently the coverage files comes with 0 in average coverage column.

                              I would really appreciate if anybody can shed any light on it ..


                              thanks in advance.

                                Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
