Performance of copy number variants detection based on whole-genome sequencing by DNBSEQ platforms.

ABSTRACT:

Background

DNBSEQ™ platforms are new massively parallel sequencing (MPS) platforms that use DNA nanoball technology. Use of data generated from DNBSEQ™ platforms to detect single nucleotide variants (SNVs) and small insertions and deletions (indels) has proven to be quite effective, while the feasibility of copy number variants (CNVs) detection is unclear.

Results

Here, we first benchmarked different CNV detection tools based on Illumina whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data of NA12878 and then assessed these tools in CNV detection based on DNBSEQ™ sequencing data from the same sample. When the same tool was used, the CNVs detected based on DNBSEQ™ and Illumina data were similar in quantity, length and distribution, while great differences existed within results from different
