Abstract Structural variations (SVs) are the genetic variations in the structure of chromosome with different types of rearrangements. They comprise millions of nucleotides of heterogeneity within every genome, and are likely to make an important contribution to genetic diversity and disease susceptibility. In the genomics community, substantial efforts have been devoted to improving understanding of the roles of SVs in genome functions relating to diseases and researchers are working actively to develop effective algorithms to reliably identify various types of SVs such as deletions, insertions, duplications and inversions. Structural variant detection using Next-generation sequencing (NGS) data is difficult, and identification of large and complex structural variations is extremely challenging. In this short review, we mainly discuss various algorithms and computational tools for identifying SVs of different types and sizes with a brief introduction to complex SVs. At the end, we highlight the impact and potential applications of the 3rd generation sequencing data, generated from PacBio and Oxford Nanopore long read sequencing platforms. Keywords: Structural variations; Bioinformatics; Algorithms; Next such as PacBio and Oxford Nanopore, substantial impact and changes generation sequencing; Single molecule sequencing can be expected in the genomics community. In this review, our focus will be on the current algorithms used in the identification of SVs, a Introduction type of variant which are difficult to detect, but with huge medical and health implications. At the end, short discussions are presented about The complete catalogue of genetic variants contains substitutions, characteristics of the long read data and how it might impact on SV small insertions and deletions (indels) and large complex structural detection. variants. The most abundant genomic variations are substitutions of single (single nucleotide variant, SNV or SNP) or multiple consecutive Methods of Structural Variation Detection nucleic bases (multiple nucleotide variant or MNV). Due to having a higher density than other types of variants, SNPs are often used in Over the past years, sequencing technology has fuelled genomic genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to mark genome fragments studies and many computational tools have been developed to deepen related to diseases or certain traits. In addition to substitutions and our understanding of structural variation and its role in genome mutations, insertions or deletions of bases in the DNA are another functions. Rapid advancing in reducing NGS costs also makes genome- form of genomic variations between individuals. At low complexity wide SV detection possible, even at population scale [1-3]. Detection regions, especially homopolymer runs or microsatellite tracks, of structural variation is an active research area and different methods substantially higher mutation rates are observed. Structural variation are being explored with different applications. It is widely agreed that (SV) was originally defined as variation other than substitutions and the method can be classified into four different algorithms: read-pair small indels. Currently, SV includes large insertions, duplications, (RP), split-read (SR), read-depth (RD) and assembly. Figure 1 shows deletions, inversions and translocations. With substantial advances in the four general methods one by one, where SVs are identified after sequencing technologies and analysis strategies, the definition of SV reads are aligned against a given reference sequence. Table 1 is a list of has been widened to include variants as small as 50 bp in length [1-3]. structural variation tools published in the literature. It is not possible to While substitutions and short indels could be visualized from short compile a complete list as new tools are coming out every year. It read data, SV was largely detected from indirect evidence of should be noted that some recent tools combine more than one disturbance of read mapping around the variation. There are extensive algorithm in order to increase specificity and sensitivity.

  • Structural Variation in the 3D Genome
    REVIEWS TRANSLATIONAL GENETICS Structural variation in the 3D genome Malte Spielmann 1, Darío G. Lupiáñez2 and Stefan Mundlos 3,4* Abstract | Structural and quantitative chromosomal rearrangements, collectively referred to as structural variation (SV), contribute to a large extent to the genetic diversity of the human genome and thus are of high relevance for cancer genetics, rare diseases and evolutionary genetics. Recent studies have shown that SVs can not only affect gene dosage but also modulate basic mechanisms of gene regulation. SVs can alter the copy number of regulatory elements or modify the 3D genome by disrupting higher- order chromatin organization such as topologically associating domains. As a result of these position effects, SVs can influence the expression of genes distant from the SV breakpoints, thereby causing disease. The impact of SVs on the 3D genome and on gene expression regulation has to be considered when interpreting the pathogenic potential of these variant types.

Linyi Zhang 1,*, Radka Reifová 2, Zuzana Halenková 2 and Zachariah Gompert 1 1 Department of Biology, Utah State University, Logan, UT 84322, USA; [email protected] 2 Department of Zoology, Faculty of Science, Charles University, 12800 Prague, Czech Republic; [email protected] (R.R.); [email protected] (Z.H.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Understanding the genetic basis of reproductive isolation is a central issue in the study of speciation. Structural variants (SVs); that is, structural changes in DNA, including inversions, translocations, insertions, deletions, and duplications, are common in a broad range of organisms and have been hypothesized to play a central role in speciation. Recent advances in molecular and statistical methods have identified structural variants, especially inversions, underlying ecologically important traits; thus, suggesting these mutations contribute to adaptation. However, the contribu- tion of structural variants to reproductive isolation between species—and the underlying mechanism by which structural variants most often contribute to speciation—remain unclear. Here, we review (i) different mechanisms by which structural variants can generate or maintain reproductive isolation; (ii) patterns expected with these different mechanisms; and (iii) relevant empirical examples of each. We also summarize the available sequencing and bioinformatic methods to detect structural variants. Lastly, we suggest empirical approaches and new research directions to help obtain a more complete assessment of the role of structural variants in speciation.

ABSTRACT The landscape of structural variants (SV) in multiple myeloma remains poorly understood. Here, we performed comprehensive analysis of SVs in a large cohort of 752 patients with multiple myeloma by low-coverage long-insert whole-genome sequencing. We identified 68 SV hotspots involving 17 new candidate driver genes, including the therapeutic targets BCMA (TNFRSF17), SLAM7, and MCL1. Catastrophic complex rearrangements termed chromothripsis were present in 24% of patients and independently associated with poor clinical outcomes. Templated insertions were the second most frequent complex event (19%), mostly involved in super-enhancer hijacking and activation of oncogenes such as CCND1 and MYC. Importantly, in 31% of patients, two or more seemingly independent putative driver events were caused by a single structural event, dem- onstrating that the complex genomic landscape of multiple myeloma can be acquired through few key events during tumor evolutionary history. Overall, this study reveals the critical role of SVs in multiple myeloma pathogenesis.

  • Identification of a Likely Pathogenic Structural Variation in the LAMA1
    www.nature.com/npjgenmed CASE REPORT OPEN Identification of a likely pathogenic structural variation in the LAMA1 gene by Bionano optical mapping ✉ Min Chen 1,2,3, Min Zhang1,4, Yeqing Qian 1, Yanmei Yang1, Yixi Sun1, Bei Liu 1, Liya Wang1 and Minyue Dong1,2,3 Recent advances in Bionano optical mapping (BOM) provide a great insight into the determination of structural variants (SVs), but its utility in identification of clinical likely pathogenic variants needs to be further demonstrated and proved. In a family with two consecutive pregnancies affected with ventriculomegaly, a splicing likely pathogenic variant at the LAMA1 locus (NM_005559: c. 4663 + 1 G > C) inherited from the father was identified in the proband by whole-exome sequencing, and no other pathogenic variant associated with the clinical phenotypes was detected. SV analysis by BOM revealed an ~48 kb duplication at the LAMA1 locus in the maternal sample. Real-time quantitative PCR and Sanger sequencing further confirmed the duplication as c.859- 153_4806 + 910dup. Based on these variants, we hypothesize that the fetuses have Poretti-Boltshauser syndrome (PBS) presenting with ventriculomegaly. With the ability to determine single nucleotide variants and SVs, the strategy adopted here might be useful to detect cases missed by current routine screening methods. In addition, our study may broaden the phenotypic spectrum of fetuses with PBS. npj Genomic Medicine (2020) 5:31 ; https://doi.org/10.1038/s41525-020-0138-z 1234567890():,; INTRODUCTION orientation of SVs.

Recently, advances in this technology have enabled high-resolution examination for identifying genetic alterations and copy number variations on a genome-wide scale. This review describes the current genomic array platforms and CGH methodologies, highlights their applications for studying cancer genetics, constitutional disease and human variation, and discusses visualization and analytical software programs for computational interpretation of array CGH data. European Journal of Human Genetics (2006) 14, 139–148. doi:10.1038/sj.ejhg.5201531; published online 16 November 2005 Keywords: array CGH; matrix CGH; cancer genome; cancer genetics; genetic disease; copy number alteration; array CGH software Introduction survey of segmental alterations by using cDNA microarrays Comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) is a method for CGH analysis. The development of a whole-genome designed for identifying chromosomal segments with copy bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) tiling path array has number aberration. Differentially labeled genomic DNA further improved the resolution of CGH.6 This article samples are competitively hybridized to chromosomal describes the various types of genomic arrays, highlights targets, where copy number balance between the two their application in identifying genetic alterations in samples is reflected by their signal intensity ratio.
