Abstract

The incomplete identification of structural variants (SVs) from whole-genome sequencing data limits studies of human genetic diversity and disease association. Here, we apply a suite of long-read, short-read, strand-specific sequencing technologies, optical mapping, and variant discovery algorithms to comprehensively analyze three trios to define the full spectrum of human genetic variation in a haplotype-resolved manner. We identify 818,054 indel variants (<50 bp) and 27,622 SVs (≥50 bp) per genome. We also discover 156 inversions per genome and 58 of the inversions intersect with the critical regions of recurrent microdeletion and microduplication syndromes. Taken together, our SV callsets represent a three to sevenfold increase in SV detection compared to most standard high-throughput sequencing studies, including those from the 1000 Genomes Project. The methods and the dataset presented serve as a gold standard for the scientific community allowing us to make recommendations for maximizing structural variation sensitivity for future genome sequencing studies.

Figures

Fig. 1 Characteristics of SNV-based haplotypes obtained from different data sources. a Distribution of phased block lengths for the YRI child NA19240. Note that Strand-seq haplotypes span whole chromosomes and therefore one block per chromosome is shown. Vertical bars highlight N50 haplotype length: the minimum length haplotype block at which at least half of the phased bases are contained. For Illumina (IL) paired-end data, phased blocks cover <50% of the genome and hence the N50 cannot be computed. b Fraction of phase connection, i.e., pairs of consecutive heterozygous variants provided by each technology (averaged over all proband samples). c Pairwise comparisons of different phasings; colors encode switch error rates (averaged over all proband samples). For each row, a green box indicates the phasing of an independent technology with best agreement, with corresponding switch error rates given in green. d Each phased block is shown in a different color. The largest block is shown in cyan, i.e., all cyan regions belong to one block, even though interspaced by white areas (genomic regions where no variants are phased) or disconnected small blocks (different colors). e Fraction of heterozygous SNVs in the largest block shown in d. f Mismatch error rate of largest block compared to trio-based phasing, averaged over all chromosomes of all proband genomes (i.e., the empirical probability that any two heterozygous variants on a chromosome are phased correctly with respect to each other, in contrast to the switch error rate, which relays the probability that any two adjacent heterozygous variants are phased correctly). (*) Not available because trio phasing is used as reference for comparisons. (**) Not shown as population-based phasing does not output block boundaries; refer to Supplementary Material for an illustration of errors in population-based phasing

Fig. 3 Characterization of simple and complex inversions. a Integration of inversions across platforms based on reciprocal overlap. Shown is an example of five orthogonal platforms intersecting at a homozygous inversion, with breakpoint ranges and supporting Strand-seq signature illustrated in bottom panels. b Size distribution of inversions included in the unified inversion list, subdivided by technology, with the total inversions (N) contributed by each listed. c Classification of Strand-seq inversions based on orthogonal phase support. Illustrative examples of simple (homozygous and heterozygous) and complex (inverted duplication) events are shown. Strand-seq inversions were identified based on read directionality (read count; reference reads in gray, inverted reads in purple), the relative ratio of reference to inverted reads within the locus (read ratio), and the haplotype structure of the inversion, with phased read data considered in terms of directionality (Ph; H1 alleles in red, H2 alleles in blue; alleles from reference reads are displayed above the ideogram and alleles from inverted reads are displayed below).

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
