文摘
When detecting deletions in complex human genomes, split-read approaches using short reads generated with next-generation sequencing still face the challenge that either false discovery rate is high, or sensitivity is low. To address the problem, an integrated strategy is proposed. It organically combines the fundamental theories of the three mainstream methods (read-pair approaches, split-read technologies and read-depth analysis) with modern machine learning algorithms, using the recipe of feature extraction as a bridge. Compared with the state-of-art split-read methods for deletion detection in both low and high sequence coverage, the machine-learning-aided strategy shows great ability in intelligently balancing sensitivity and false discovery rate and getting a both more sensitive and more precise call set at single-base-pair resolution. Thus, users do not need to rely on former experience to make an unnecessary trade-off beforehand and adjust parameters over and over again any more. It should be noted that modern machine learning models can play an important role in the field of structural variation prediction.
