    need help with CNVs

    Hello,

    I have a lots of problems to call CNVs in genome samples (tumor/normal pairs) sequenced with Illumina.

    First I tested CNVnator, but I had already problems with the second step, because I don't know the bin_size (./cnvnator -root file.root -chrom ch1 -his bin_size). I tested with 100, 1000, 1000000, but the program ran in all cases just for chromosome 22 over one week and was still not finished. I asked already in another thread for the bin_size, but unfortunally I didn't receive any answers (http://seqanswers.com/forums/showthr...t=11013&page=2).

    After that I tested CNV-Seq, but I don't understand the output. Especially I don't know the exact position of the CNV and the difference between log2 and cnv.log2 and the difference between p.value and cnv.p.value

    I tried to get some help in another thread (http://seqanswers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=16882) => unfortunally no answer.

    Last I tried CNVer, but I can use that tool just for hg18, which doesn't really help me.

    I there any other tool, which you can recommend? Or do you have any ideas/suggestions/help to solve the problems with one of the above mentioned tools?

    I would be really happy about any comments, because I am completly frustrated.

    Thanks a lot in advance.

    Try out ExomeCNV. First, find LOH. Then use LOH regions to determine normal contamination in your tumor sample. Finally, estimate CNVs, using the normal contamination correction.

      thanks for your answer.

      But how do I search for LOH regions in tumor/normal samples? And does ExomeCNV also works for complete genome sequences or do I have to extract the exonic regions before?

      Best regards

        The program also does LOH. Follow these instructions. First, find normal tissue SNVs that are heterozygous (you have to determine these SNVs yourself), then make files with the coverage and 'mutant' read counts for these SNVs for tumor and normal tissue. These files are input for the ExomeCNV R LOH functions.

        As for application to whole genomes, I'm not sure.

          The bin size used depends on the coverage of your data, see supplemental material from CNVnator paper. But I have the same doubt. I tested bins of: 100, 120, 150 and 200 bp. My coverage is about 8-15X. With each bin I had a different number of CNVs. I am not sure which one is better...
          Also I do not know if I should filter the results based on the p-value...

            Pathogen Surveillance with Advanced Genomic Tools
            by seqadmin




            The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for proactive pathogen surveillance systems. As ongoing threats like avian influenza and newly emerging infections continue to pose risks, researchers are working to improve how quickly and accurately pathogens can be identified and tracked. In a recent SEQanswers webinar, two experts discussed how next-generation sequencing (NGS) and machine learning are shaping efforts to monitor viral variation and trace the origins of infectious...

            Investigating the Gut Microbiome Through Diet and Spatial Biology
            by seqadmin




            The human gut contains trillions of microorganisms that impact digestion, immune functions, and overall health1. Despite major breakthroughs, we’re only beginning to understand the full extent of the microbiome’s influence on health and disease. Advances in next-generation sequencing and spatial biology have opened new windows into this complex environment, yet many questions remain. This article highlights two recent studies exploring how diet influences microbial...
