  9. Know your application – Design your experiment accordingly • Differential expression of highly expressed and well annotated genes? • Smaller sample depth; more biological replicates • No need for paired end reads; shorter reads (50bp) may be sufficient. • Better to have 20 million 50bp reads than 10 million 100bp reads. • Looking for novel genes/splicing/isoforms? • More read depth, paired-end reads from longer fragments. • Allele specific expression • “Good” genomes for both strains.

  17. Quality control

  18. Quality Control: Sequence quality per base position • Bad data • High Variance • Quality Decrease with Length • Good data • Consistent • High Quality Along the reads S

  19. Per sequence quality distribution bad data Y= number of reads X= Mean sequence quality Average data NGS Data Preprocessing S

  20. Per sequence quality distribution bad data Good data Y= number of reads X= Mean sequence quality Average data NGS Data Preprocessing S

  21. Quality Control: Sequence Content Across Bases S

  22. K-mer content counts the enrichment of every 5-mer within the sequence library Bad: If k-mer enrichment >= 10 fold at any individual base position NGS Data Preprocessing

  23. K-mer content Most samples

  24. Duplicated sequences Good: non-unique sequences make up less than 20% Bad: non-unique sequences make >50% NGS Data Preprocessing S

  25. PCR duplicates or high expressed genes? The case of Albumin. ~80,000x coverage here S

  29. The perfect read: 1 read = 1 unique alignment. 100bp Read ACATGCTGCGGA ✓ Chr 3 ACATGCTGCGGA Chr 2 Chr 1 KB

  30. Some reads will align equally well to multiple locations. “Multireads” 100bp Read ✗ ACATGCTGCGGA ACATGCTGCGGA ✓ ✗ ACATGCTGCGGA 1 read 3 valid alignments Only 1 alignment is correct ACATGCTGCGGA KB

  31. The worst case scenario. 100bp Read ACATGCTGCGGA ✗ ACATGCTGCGGA ✗ ACATGCTGCGGC 1 read 2 valid alignments Neither is correct ACATGCTGCGGA KB

  32. Individual genetic variation may affect read alignment. 100bp Read ✗ ATATGCTGCGGA ACATGCTGCGGA ACATGCTGCGGC ✗ ACATGCTGCGGA KB

  33. Aligning Billions of Short Sequence Reads Gene A Gene B Aligners: Bowtie, GSNAP, BWA, MAQ, BLAT Designed to align the short reads fast, but not accurate KB

  34. Aligning Sequence Reads Gene A Gene B • Gene family (orthologous/paralogous) • Low-complexity sequence • Alternatively spliced isoforms • Pseudogenes • Polymorphisms • Indels • Structural Variants • Reference sequence Errors KB

  42. Align to Genome or Transcriptome? Genome Advantages: Can align novel isoforms. Disadvantages: Difficult, Spurious alignments, spliced alignment, gene families, pseudo genes Transcriptome KB

  44. Align to Genome or Transcriptome? Genome Advantages: Can align novel isoforms. Disadvantages: Difficult, Spurious alignments, spliced alignment, gene families, pseudo genes Transcriptome Advantages: Easy, Focused to the part of the genome that is known to be transcribed. Disadvantages: Reads that come from novel isoforms may not align at all or may be misattributed to a known isoform. KB

  45. Better Approach: Aligning to Transcriptome and Genome Align to Transcriptome First Align the remaining reads to Genome next Advantages: relatively simpler, overcomes the pseudo-gene and novel isoform problems KB RUM, TopHat2, STAR Advantages: Can align novel isoforms. Disadvantages: Difficult, Spurious alignments, spliced alignment, gene families, pseudo genes

  46. Conclusions • There is no perfect aligner. Pick one well-suited to your application. • E.g. Want to identify novel exons? Don’t align only to the known set of isoforms. • Visually inspect the resulting alignments. Setting a parameter a little too liberal or conservative can have a huge effect on alignment. • Consider running the same fastq files through multiple alignment pipelines specific to each application. • Gene expression -> Bowtie to transcriptome • Exon discovery -> RUM or other hybrid mapper • Variant detection -> GSNAP, GATK, Samtoolsmpileup • If your species has not been sequenced, use a de novo assembly method. Can also use the genome of a related species as a scaffold. KB

  47. Output of most aligners: Bam/Sam file of reads and genome positions S

  48. Visualization of alignment data (BAM/SAM) • Genome browsers – UCSC, IGV, etc.
