Abstract Motivation Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) is widely used for copy number variation (CNV) detection. However, for most bacteria, their circular genome structure and high replication rate make reads more enriched near the replication origin. CNV detection based on read depth could be seriously influenced by such replication bias. Results We show that the replication bias is widespread using ∼200 bacterial WGS data. We develop CNV-BAC (CNV-Bacteria) that can properly normalize the replication bias and other known biases in bacterial WGS data and can accurately detect CNVs. Simulation and real data analysis show that CNV-BAC achieves the best performance in CNV detection compared with available algorithms. Availability and implementation CNV-BAC is available at https://github.com/XiDsLab/CNV-BAC. Supplementary information Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

Abstract Motivation Integration of multiple genetic sources for copy number variation detection (CNV) is a powerful approach to improve the identification of variants associated with complex traits. Although it has been shown that the widely used change point based methods can increase statistical power to identify variants, it remains challenging to effectively detect CNVs with weak signals due to the noisy nature of genotyping intensity data. We previously developed modSaRa, a normal mean-based model on a screening and ranking algorithm for copy number variation identification which presented desirable sensitivity with high computational efficiency. To boost statistical power for the identification of variants, here we present a novel improvement that integrates the relative allelic intensity with external information from empirical statistics with modeling, which we called modSaRa2. Results Simulation studies illustrated that modSaRa2 markedly improved both sensitivity and specificity over existing methods for analyzing array-based data. The improvement in weak CNV signal detection is the most substantial, while it also simultaneously improves stability when CNV size varies. The application of the new method to a whole genome melanoma dataset identified novel candidate melanoma risk associated deletions on chromosome bands 1p22.2 and duplications on 6p22, 6q25 and 19p13 regions, which may facilitate the understanding of the possible roles of germline copy number variants in the etiology of melanoma.
