Abstract Precision medicine promises to revolutionize treatment, shifting therapeutic approaches from the classical one-size-fits-all to those more tailored to the patient’s individual genomic profile, lifestyle and environmental exposures. Yet, to advance precision medicine’s main objective—ensuring the optimum diagnosis, treatment and prognosis for each individual—investigators need access to large-scale clinical and genomic data repositories. Despite the vast proliferation of these datasets, locating and obtaining access to many remains a challenge. We sought to provide an overview of available patient-level datasets that contain both genotypic data, obtained by next-generation sequencing, and phenotypic data—and to create a dynamic, online catalog for consultation, contribution and revision by the research community. Datasets included in this review conform to six specific inclusion parameters that are: (i) contain data from more than 500 human subjects; (ii) contain both genotypic and phenotypic data from the same subjects; (iii) include whole genome sequencing or whole exome sequencing data; (iv) include at least 100 recorded phenotypic variables per subject; (v) accessible through a website or collaboration with investigators and (vi) make access information available in English. Using these criteria, we identified 30 datasets, reviewed them and provided results in the release version of a catalog, which is publicly available through a dynamic Web application and on GitHub. Users can review as well as contribute new datasets for inclusion (Web: https://avillachlab.shinyapps.io/genophenocatalog/; GitHub: https://github.com/hms-dbmi/GenoPheno-CatalogShiny).

Personal genomic data constitute one important part of personal health data. However, due to the large amount of personal genomic data obtained by the next-generation sequencing technology, special tools are needed to analyze these data. In this article, we will explore a tool analyzing cloud-based large-scale genome sequencing data. Analyzing and identifying genomic variations from amplicon-based next-generation sequencing data are necessary for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of cancer patients. When processing the amplicon-based next-generation sequencing data, one essential step is removing primer sequences from the reads to avoid detecting false-positive mutations introduced by nonspecific primer binding and primer extension reactions. At present, the removing primer tools usually discard primer sequences from the FASTQ file instead of BAM file, but this method could cause some downstream analysis problems. Only one tool (BAMClipper) removes primer sequences from BAM files, but it only modified the CIGAR value of the BAM file, and false-positive mutations falling in the primer region could still be detected based on its processed BAM file. So, we developed one cutting primer tool (rmvPFBAM) removing primer sequences from the BAM file, and the mutations detected based on the processed BAM file by rmvPFBAM are highly credible. Besides that, rmvPFBAM runs faster than other tools, such as cutPrimers and BAMClipper.

AbstractSummaryThis paper presents Parkour, a software package for sample processing and quality management of next generation sequencing data and samples. Starting with user requests, Parkour allows tracking and assessing samples based on predefined quality criteria through different stages of the sample preparation workflow. Ideally suited for academic core laboratories, the software aims to maximize efficiency and reduce turnaround time by intelligent sample grouping and a clear assignment of staff to work units. Tools for automated invoicing, interactive statistics on facility usage and simple report generation minimize administrative tasks. Provided as a web application, Parkour is a convenient tool for both deep sequencing service users and laboratory personal. A set of web APIs allow coordinated information sharing with local and remote bioinformaticians. The flexible structure allows workflow customization and simple addition of new features as well as the expansion to other domains.Availability and implementationThe code and documentation are available at https://github.com/maxplanck-ie/[email protected]

The increase in memory and in network traffic used and caused by new sequenced biological data has recently deeply grown. Genomic projects such as HapMap and 1000 Genomes have contributed to the very large rise of databases and network traffic related to genomic data and to the development of new efficient technologies. The large-scale sequencing of samples of DNA has brought new attention and produced new research, and thus the interest in the scientific community for genomic data has greatly increased. In a very short time, researchers have developed hardware tools, analysis software, algorithms, private databases, and infrastructures to support the research in genomics. In this paper, we analyze different approaches for compressing digital files generated by Next-Generation Sequencing tools containing nucleotide sequences, and we discuss and evaluate the compression performance of generic compression algorithms by confronting them with a specific system designed by Jones et al. specifically for genomic file compression: Quip. Moreover, we present a simple but effective technique for the compression of DNA sequences in which we only consider the relevant DNA data and experimentally evaluate its performances.

Abstract Estimation of relatedness between pairs of individuals is important in many genetic research areas. When estimating relatedness, it is important to account for admixture if this is present. However, the methods that can account for admixture are all based on genotype data as input, which is a problem for low-depth next-generation sequencing (NGS) data from which genotypes are called with high uncertainty. Here we present a software tool, NGSremix, for maximum likelihood estimation of relatedness between pairs of admixed individuals from low-depth NGS data, which takes the uncertainty of the genotypes into account via genotype likelihoods. Using both simulated and real NGS data for admixed individuals with an average depth of 4x or below we show that our method works well and clearly outperforms all the commonly used state-of-the-art relatedness estimation methods PLINK, KING, relateAdmix, and ngsRelate that all perform quite poorly. Hence, NGSremix is a useful new tool for estimating relatedness in admixed populations from low-depth NGS data. NGSremix is implemented in C/C ++ in a multi-threaded software and is freely available on Github https://github.com/KHanghoj/NGSremix.
