AbstractHere, we develop k -mer substring space decomposition (Kssd), a sketching technique which is significantly faster and more accurate than current sketching methods. We show that it is the only method that can be used for large-scale dataset comparisons at population resolution on simulated and real data. Using Kssd, we prioritize references for all 1,019,179 bacteria whole genome sequencing (WGS) runs from NCBI Sequence Read Archive and find misidentification or contamination in 6164 of these. Additionally, we analyze WGS and exome runs of samples from the 1000 Genomes Project.

ABSTRACTThe 1000 Genomes Project (1kGP), launched in 2008, is the largest fully open resource of whole genome sequencing (WGS) data consented for public distribution of raw sequence data without access or use restrictions. The final (phase 3) 2015 release of 1kGP included 2,504 unrelated samples from 26 populations, representing five continental regions of the world and was based on a combination of technologies including low coverage WGS (mean depth 7.4X), high coverage whole exome sequencing (mean depth 65.7X), and microarray genotyping. Here, we present a new, high coverage WGS resource encompassing the original 2,504 1kGP samples, as well as an additional 698 related samples that result in 602 complete trios in the 1kGP cohort. We sequenced this expanded 1kGP cohort of 3,202 samples to a targeted depth of 30X using Illumina NovaSeq 6000 instruments. We performed SNV/INDEL calling against the GRCh38 reference using GATK’s HaplotypeCaller, and generated a comprehensive set of SVs by integrating multiple analytic methods through a sophisticated machine learning model, upgrading the 1kGP dataset to current state-of-the-art standards. Using this strategy, we defined over 111 million SNVs, 14 million INDELs, and ∼170 thousand SVs across the entire cohort of 3,202 samples with estimated false discovery rate (FDR) of 0.3%, 1.0%, and 1.8%, respectively. By comparison to the low-coverage phase 3 callset, we observed substantial improvements in variant discovery and estimated FDR that were facilitated by high coverage re-sequencing and expansion of the cohort. Specifically, we called 7% more SNVs, 59% more INDELs, and 170% more SVs per genome than the phase 3 callset. Moreover, we leveraged the presence of families in the cohort to achieve superior haplotype phasing accuracy and we demonstrate improvements that the high coverage panel brings especially for INDEL imputation. We make all the data generated as part of this project publicly available and we envision this updated version of the 1kGP callset to become the new de facto public resource for the worldwide scientific community working on genomics and genetics.

Abstract Background In population genomics, polymorphisms that are highly differentiated between geographically separated populations are often suggestive of Darwinian positive selection. Genomic scans have highlighted several such regions in African and non-African populations, but only a handful of these have functional data that clearly associates candidate variations driving the selection process. Fine-Mapping of Adaptive Variation (FineMAV) was developed to address this in a high-throughput manner using population based whole-genome sequences generated by the 1000 Genomes Project. It pinpoints positively selected genetic variants in sequencing data by prioritizing high frequency, population-specific and functional derived alleles. Results We developed a stand-alone software that implements the FineMAV statistic. To graphically visualise the FineMAV scores, it outputs the statistics as bigWig files, which is a common file format supported by many genome browsers. It is available as a command-line and graphical user interface. The software was tested by replicating the FineMAV scores obtained using 1000 Genomes Project African, European, East and South Asian populations and subsequently applied to whole-genome sequencing datasets from Singapore and China to highlight population specific variants that can be subsequently modelled. The software tool is publicly available at https://github.com/fadilla-wahyudi/finemav. Conclusions The software tool described here determines genome-wide FineMAV scores, using low or high-coverage whole-genome sequencing datasets, that can be used to prioritize a list of population specific, highly differentiated candidate variants for in vitro or in vivo functional screens. The tool displays these scores on the human genome browsers for easy visualisation, annotation and comparison between different genomic regions in worldwide human populations.

Asian Populations

AbstractAsian populations are currently underrepresented in human genetics research. Here we present whole-genome sequencing data of 4,810 Singaporeans from three diverse ethnic groups: 2,780 Chinese, 903 Malays, and 1,127 Indians. Despite a medium depth of 13.7×, we achieved essentially perfect (>99.8%) sensitivity and accuracy for detecting common variants and good sensitivity (>89%) for detecting extremely rare variants with <0.1% allele frequency. We found 89.2 million single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and 9.1 million small insertions and deletions (INDELs), more than half of which have not been cataloged in dbSNP. In particular, we found 126 common deleterious mutations (MAF>0.01) that were absent in the existing public databases, highlighting the importance of local population reference for genetic diagnosis. We describe fine-scale genetic structure of Singapore populations and their relationship to worldwide populations from the 1000 Genomes Project. In addition to revealing noticeable amounts of admixture among three Singapore populations and a Malay-related novel ancestry component that has not been captured by the 1000 Genomes Project, our analysis also identified some fine-scale features of genetic structure consistent with two waves of prehistoric migration from south China to Southeast Asia. Finally, we demonstrate that our data can substantially improve genotype imputation not only for Singapore populations, but also for populations across Asia and Oceania. These results highlight the genetic diversity in Singapore and the potential impacts of our data as a resource to empower human genetics discovery in a broad geographic region.

AbstractIntroductionImproving the surveillance of tuberculosis (TB) is especially important for multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR)-TB. The large amount of publicly available whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data for TB gives us the chance to re-use data and to perform additional analysis at a large scale.AimWe assessed the usefulness of raw WGS data of global MDR/XDR-TB isolates available from public repositories to improve TB surveillance.MethodsWe extracted raw WGS data and the related metadata of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates available from the Sequence Read Archive. We compared this public dataset with WGS data and metadata of 131 MDR- and XDR-TB isolates from Germany in 2012-2013.ResultsWe aggregated a dataset that includes 1,081 MDR and 250 XDR isolates among which we identified 133 molecular clusters. In 16 clusters, the isolates were from at least two different countries. For example, cluster2 included 56 MDR/XDR isolates from Moldova, Georgia, and Germany. By comparing the WGS data from Germany and the public dataset, we found that 11 clusters contained at least one isolate from Germany and at least one isolate from another country. We could, therefore, connect TB cases despite missing epidemiological information.ConclusionWe demonstrated the added value of using WGS raw data from public repositories to contribute to TB surveillance. By comparing the German and the public dataset, we identified potential international transmission events. Thus, using this approach might support the interpretation of national surveillance results in an international context.

ABSTRACTThe implementation of routine whole-genome sequencing (WGS) promises to transform our ability to monitor the emergence and spread of bacterial pathogens. Here we combined WGS data from 308 invasiveStaphylococcus aureusisolates corresponding to a pan-European population snapshot, with epidemiological and resistance data. Geospatial visualization of the data is made possible by a generic software tool designed for public health purposes that is available at the project URL (http://www.microreact.org/project/EkUvg9uY?tt=rc). Our analysis demonstrates that high-risk clones can be identified on the basis of population level properties such as clonal relatedness, abundance, and spatial structuring and by inferring virulence and resistance properties on the basis of gene content. We also show thatin silicopredictions of antibiotic resistance profiles are at least as reliable as phenotypic testing. We argue that this work provides a comprehensive road map illustrating the three vital components for future molecular epidemiological surveillance: (i) large-scale structured surveys, (ii) WGS, and (iii) community-oriented database infrastructure and analysis tools.IMPORTANCEThe spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria is a public health emergency of global concern, threatening medical intervention at every level of health care delivery. Several recent studies have demonstrated the promise of routine whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of bacterial pathogens for epidemiological surveillance, outbreak detection, and infection control. However, as this technology becomes more widely adopted, the key challenges of generating representative national and international data sets and the development of bioinformatic tools to manage and interpret the data become increasingly pertinent. This study provides a road map for the integration of WGS data into routine pathogen surveillance. We emphasize the importance of large-scale routine surveys to provide the population context for more targeted or localized investigation and the development of open-access bioinformatic tools to provide the means to combine and compare independently generated data with publicly available data sets.
