Establishment of reference standards for multifaceted mosaic variant analysis.

ABSTRACT: Detection of somatic mosaicism in non-proliferative cells is a new challenge in genome research, however, the accuracy of current detection strategies remains uncertain due to the lack of a ground truth. Herein, we sought to present a set of ultra-deep sequenced WES data based on reference standards generated by cell line mixtures, providing a total of 386,613 mosaic single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) and insertion-deletion mutations (INDELs) with variant allele frequencies (VAFs) ranging from 0.5% to 56%, as well as 35,113,417 non-variant and 19,936 germline variant sites as a negative control. The whole reference standard set mimics the cumulative aspect of mosaic variant acquisition such as in the early developmental stage owing to the progressive mixing of cell lines with established ge
