Genotype, haplotype and copy number variation in worldwide human populations.

ABSTRACT: Genome-wide patterns of variation across individuals provide a powerful source of data for uncovering the history of migration, range expansion, and adaptation of the human species. However, high-resolution surveys of variation in genotype, haplotype and copy number have generally focused on a small number of population groups. Here we report the analysis and public release of high-quality genotypes at 525,910 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and 396 copy-number-variable loci in a worldwide sample of 29 populations. Analysis of SNP genotypes yields strongly supported fine-scale inferences about population structure. Increasing linkage disequilibrium is observed with geographic distance from Africa, as expected under a serial founder effect for an out-of-Africa spread of human populations. New approaches for haplotype analysis produce inferences about population structure that complement results based on unphased SNPs. Despite a difference from SNPs in the frequency spectrum of the copy-number variants (CNVs) detected—including a comparatively large number of CNVs in previously unexamined populations from Oceania and the Americas—the global distribution of CNVs largely accords with population structure analyses for SNP data sets of similar size. Our results produce new inferences about inter-population variation, support the utility of CNVs in human population-genetic research, and serve as a genomic resource for human-genetic studies in diverse worldwide populations.

Population structure shapes copy number variation in malaria parasites

Project description:If copy number variants (CNVs) are predominantly deleterious, we would expect them to be more efficiently purged from populations with a large effective population size (Ne) than from populations with a small Ne. Malaria parasites (Plasmodium falciparum) provide an excellent organism to examine this prediction, because this protozoan shows a broad spectrum of population structures within a single species, with large, stable, outbred populations in Africa, small unstable inbred populations in South America and with intermediate population characteristics in South East Asia. We characterized 122 single-clone parasites, without prior laboratory culture, from malaria-infected patients in 7 countries in Africa, SE Asia and S. America using a high density SNP/CNV microarray. We scored 134 high-confidence CNVs across the parasite exome, including 33 deletions and 102 amplifications, which ranged in size from <500bp to 59kb, as well as 10,107 flanking, biallelic SNPs. Overall, CNVs were rare, small and skewed towards low frequency variants, consistent with the deleterious model. Relative to African and SE Asian populations, CNVs were significantly more common in S. America, showed significantly less skew in allele frequencies, and were significantly larger. On this background of low frequency CNV, we also identified several high-frequency CNVs under putative positive selection using an FST outlier analysis. These included known adaptive CNVs containing rh2b and pfmdr1, and several other CNVs (e.g. DNA helicase, and 3 conserved proteins) that require further investigation. Our data are consistent with a significant impact of genetic structure on CNV burden in an important human pathogen. SNP/CGH hybridisation of 175 malaria parasite samples

Whole-genome definitive haplotypes of SNPs and CNVs determined by genotyping duplicated haploid genomes

Project description:Copy number variations (CNVs) constitute the largest portion of the human genome variation. We determined a genome-wide high resolution SNP/CNV haplotype structure of Asians, by analyzing a collection of complete hydatidiform moles (CHMs) of Japanese, using high-density DNA arrays. CHMs are tissues carrying duplicated haploid genomes derived from single sperms, and are suitable material for the detection of CNVs, because they are expected to reveal greater signal to noise ratio in hybridization experiments. Also, the absence of heterozygosity ensures straightforward CNV interpretation without being bothered by overlapping CNV segments. We genotyped 100 CHM genomes using Affymetrix SNP 6.0 and Illumina 1M-duo, created a definitive haplotype map including 1.7 million SNPs and 2339 CNV region (CNVR) that is presented as D-HaploDB Phase 4.1.

A Map of Copy Number Variations in Chinese Populations

Project description:It has been shown that the human genome contains extensive copy number variations (CNVs). Investigating the medical and evolutionary impacts of CNVs requires the knowledge of locations, sizes and frequency distribution of CNVs within and between populations. However, CNV study of Chinese populations has been underrepresented considering the same efforts in other populations. Here we constructed a Chinese CNV map by using Affymetrix SNP 6 array. We did population analysis with other HapMap populations and identified population specific CNVs as well as candidate CNV regions under selection. Our results serve as a useful resource in further evolutionary and medical studies.

Population genetic properties of differentiated human copy number polymorphisms

Project description:Copy number variants (CNVs) can reach appreciable frequencies in the human population, and several of these copy number polymorphisms (CNPs) have been recently associated with human diseases including lupus, psoriasis, Crohn disease, and obesity. Despite new advances, significant biases remain in terms of CNP discovery and genotyping. Developing a novel method based on single channel intensity data and benchmarking against copy numbers determined from sequencing read-depth, we successfully obtained CNP genotypes for 1489 CNPs from 487 human DNA samples from diverse ethnic backgrounds. This customized microarray was enriched for segmental duplication-rich regions and novel insertions of sequences not represented in the reference genome assembly or on standard single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) microarray platforms. We observe that CNPs in segmental duplications are more likely to be population differentiated than CNPs in unique regions (p = 0.015) and that bi-allelic CNPs show greater stratification when compared to frequency-matched SNPs (p = 0.0026). Although bi-allelic CNPs show a strong correlation of copy number with flanking SNP genotypes, the majority of multi-copy CNPs do not (40% with r >0.8). We selected a subset of CNPs for further characterization in 1873 additional samples from 62 populations (947 samples analyzed by microarray; 926 samples analyzed with PCR based assays); this revealed striking population-differentiated structural variants in genes of clinical significance such as the OCLN gene, a tight junction protein involved in hepatitis C viral entry. Our new microarray design allows these variants to be rapidly tested for disease association and our results suggest that CNPs (especially those that are not in linkage disequilibrium with SNPs) may have contributed disproportionately to human diversity and selection.

Definitive SNP/CNV haplotype map of Asians determined using a collection of complete hydatidiform moles (Illumina)

Project description:Copy number variations (CNVs) are abundant, possibly variable among populations, and can confer various phenotypic variations such as risk to complex disease. We determined a genome-wide high resolution SNP/CNV haplotype structure of Asians, by analyzing a collection of complete hydatidiform moles (CHMs) of Japanese, using high-density DNA arrays. CHMs are tissues carrying duplicated haploid genomes that originated from single sperm, and have advantages as materials over conventional diploid cells in detecting CNVs by hybridization, because greater S/N ratios are expected, and overlapping CNV segments are independently detected without being bothered by possible heterozygous situations. Overall occupancy of CNV segments per haploid found here was at a level similar to previous reports. Approximately a half of our polymorphic CNV regions have not been described in the previous report for Asians, but the frequencies of most of these new CNV regions were low. The limited number of examined samples is likely to be the reason that they have escaped detection in the previous report. Many common CNV regions are resolvable to clusters of CNV segmets (that is, CNV events) on the basis of mutual overlap of the segments. The similarity of haplotype backgrounds surrounding different CNV events within the same CNV regions suggests that ancestral recurrences of CNV events were predominantly haplotype preferential.

Genome-wide analysis of cold adaptation in indigenous Siberian populations

Project description:Following the dispersal out of Africa, where hominins evolved in warm environments for millions of years, our species has colonised different climate zones of the world, including high latitudes and cold environments. The extent to which human habitation in (sub-)Arctic regions has been enabled by cultural buffering, short-term acclimatization and genetic adaptations is not clearly understood. Present day indigenous populations of Siberia show a number of phenotypic features, such as increased basal metabolic rate, low serum lipid levels, increased blood pressure, short stature and broad skulls that have been attributed to adaptation to the extreme cold climate. We have genotyped 200 individuals from ten indigenous Siberian populations for 730,525 SNPs across the genome to identify genes and non-coding regions that have undergone unusually rapid allele frequency and long-range haplotype homozygosity change in the recent past. At least three distinct population clusters could be identified among the Siberians, each of which showed a number of unique signals of selection. We present a list of cold adaption candidate genes that showed significant signals of positive selection with our strongest signals associated with genes involved in energy regulation and metabolism (CPT1A, LRP5, THADA) and vascular smooth muscle contraction (PRKG1). By employing a new method that paints phased chromosome chunks by their ancestry we distinguish local Siberian-specific long-range haplotype signals from those introduced by admixture. 200 blood samples from 200 Siberian individuals that come from ten different indigenous populations were genotypes for 730,525 SNPs across the genome. Eighteen Vietnamese samples were also genotyped and used as reference samples.
