  • Imputation-Based Assessment of Next Generation Rare Exome Variant Arrays
    IMPUTATION-BASED ASSESSMENT OF NEXT GENERATION RARE EXOME VARIANT ARRAYS ALICIA R.

KENNY* Department of Genetics and Genomic Sciences, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai New York, NY 10029 Email: [email protected] A striking finding from recent large-scale sequencing efforts is that the vast majority of variants in the human genome are rare and found within single populations or lineages. These observations hold important implications for the design of the next round of disease variant discovery efforts—if genetic variants that influence disease risk follow the same trend, then we expect to see population-specific disease associations that require large samples sizes for detection. To address this challenge, and due to the still prohibitive cost of sequencing large cohorts, researchers have developed a new generation of low-cost genotyping arrays that assay rare variation previously identified from large exome sequencing studies. Genotyping approaches rely not only on directly observing variants, but also on phasing and imputation methods that use publicly available reference panels to infer unobserved variants in a study cohort. Rare variant exome arrays are intentionally enriched for variants likely to be disease causing, and here we assay the ability of the first commercially available rare exome variant array (the Illumina Infinium HumanExome BeadChip) to also tag other potentially damaging variants not molecularly assayed.

  • Allele Imputation and Haplotype Determination from Databases Composed of Nuclear Families by Nathan Medina-Rodríguez and Ángelo Santana
    CONTRIBUTED RESEARCH ARTICLE 35 Allele Imputation and Haplotype Determination from Databases Composed of Nuclear Families by Nathan Medina-Rodríguez and Ángelo Santana Abstract The alleHap package is designed for imputing genetic missing data and reconstruct non- recombinant haplotypes from pedigree databases in a deterministic way. When genotypes of related individuals are available in a number of linked genetic markers, the program starts by identifying haplotypes compatible with the observed genotypes in those markers without missing values. If haplotypes are identified in parents or offspring, missing alleles can be imputed in subjects containing missing values. Several scenarios are analyzed: family completely genotyped, children partially genotyped and parents completely genotyped, children fully genotyped and parents containing entirely or partially missing genotypes, and founders and their offspring both only partially genotyped. The alleHap package also has a function to simulate pedigrees including all these scenarios. This article describes in detail how our package works for the desired applications, including illustrated explanations and easily reproducible examples. Introduction The knowledge about human genetic variation has been growing exponentially over the last decade. Collaborative efforts of international projects such as HapMap (Consortium and others, 2005) and 1000 Genomes (Consortium and others, 2012) have contributed to improving the discovery about human genetic diversity. Genotype imputation and haplotype reconstruction have achieved an important role in Genome- Wide Association Studies (GWAS) during recent years. Estimation methods are frequently used to infer missing genotypes as well as haplotypes from databases containing related and/or unrelated subjects. The majority of these analyses have been developed using several statistical methods (Browning and Browning, 2011a) which are able to impute genotypes as well as perform haplotype phasing (also known as haplotype estimation) of the corresponding genomic regions.

We describe an efficient genotype imputation method based on matrix completion. Our matrix completion method is implemented in MATLAB and tested on real data from HapMap 3, simulated pedigree data, and simulated low-coverage sequencing data derived from the 1000 Genomes Project. Compared with leading im- putation programs, the matrix completion algorithm embodied in our program MENDEL-IMPUTE achieves comparable imputation accuracy while reducing run times significantly. Implementation in a lower-level language such as Fortran or C is apt to further improve computational efficiency.

The procedures these technologies use to impute genetic data, therefore, greatly affect downstream analyses. This study aims to (1) compare the genetic variance in a single-nucleotide polymorphism panel of soybean with missing data imputed using various methods, (2) evaluate the imputation accuracy and post-imputation quality associated with these methods, and (3) evaluate the impact of imputation method on heritability and the accuracy of genome-wide prediction of soybean traits. The imputation methods we evaluated were as follows: multivariate mixed model, hidden Markov model, logical algorithm, k-nearest neighbor, single value decomposition, and random forest. We used raw genotypes from the SoyNAM project and the following phenotypes: plant height, days to maturity, grain yield, and seed protein composition. Results: We propose an imputation method based on multivariate mixed models using pedigree information. Our methods comparison indicate that heritability of traits can be affected by the imputation method. Genotypes with missing values imputed with methods that make use of genealogic information can favor genetic analysis of highly polygenic traits, but not genome-wide prediction accuracy.

This process requires a reference panel, which is a collection of big data from which the missing information can be extracted and imputed. Haplotype imputation requires ethnicity-matched references; a mismatched reference panel will significantly reduce the quality of imputation. However, currently existing big datasets cover only a small number of ethnicities, there is a lack of ethnicity-matched references for many ethnic populations in the world, which has hampered the data imputation of haplotypes and its downstream applications. To solve this issue, several approaches have been proposed and explored, including the mixed reference panel, the internal reference panel and genotype-converted reference panel. This review article provides the information and comparison between these approaches. Increasing evidence showed that not just one or two genetic elements dictate the gene activity and functions; instead, cis- interactions of multiple elements dictate gene activity.

Low coverage geno- 19 typing by sequencing (GBS) technology has become a cost effective tool in these populations, 20 despite large amounts of missing data in offspring and founders. In this work, we present a 21 general statistical framework for genotype imputation in such experimental crosses from low 22 coverage GBS data. Generalizing a previously developed hidden Markov model for calculating 23 ancestral origins of offspring DNA, we present an imputation algorithm that doesn’t require 24 parental data and that is applicable to bi- and multiparental populations. Our imputation al- 25 gorithm allows heterozygosity of parents and offspring as well as error correction in observed 26 genotypes. Further, our approach can combine imputation and genotype calling from sequenc- 27 ing reads, and it also applies to called genotypes from single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) 28 array data.

  • 1000 Genomes-Based Imputation Identifies Novel and Refined
    European Journal of Human Genetics (2012) 20, 801–805 & 2012 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 1018-4813/12 www.nature.com/ejhg SHORT REPORT 1000 Genomes-based imputation identifies novel and refined associations for the Wellcome Trust Case Control Consortium phase 1 Data Jie Huang1, David Ellinghaus2, Andre Franke2, Bryan Howie3 and Yun Li*,4 We hypothesize that imputation based on data from the 1000 Genomes Project can identify novel association signals on a genome-wide scale due to the dense marker map and the large number of haplotypes. To test the hypothesis, the Wellcome Trust Case Control Consortium (WTCCC) Phase I genotype data were imputed using 1000 genomes as reference (20100804 EUR), and seven case/control association studies were performed using imputed dosages. We observed two ‘missed’ disease- associated variants that were undetectable by the original WTCCC analysis, but were reported by later studies after the 2007 WTCCC publication. One is within the IL2RA gene for association with type 1 diabetes and the other in proximity with the CDKN2B gene for association with type 2 diabetes. We also identified two refined associations. One is SNP rs11209026 in exon 9 of IL23R for association with Crohn’s disease, which is predicted to be probably damaging by PolyPhen2. The other refined variant is in the CUX2 gene region for association with type 1 diabetes, where the newly identified top SNP rs1265564 has an association P-value of 1.68Â10À16. The new lead SNP for the two refined loci provides a more plausible explanation for the disease association. We demonstrated that 1000 Genomes-based imputation could indeed identify both novel (in our case, ‘missed’ because they were detected and replicated by studies after 2007) and refined signals.

(2020): The use of genomic data and im- putation methods in dairy cattle breeding. Czech J. Anim. Sci., 65: 445–453. Abstract: The inclusion of animal genotype data has contributed to the development of genomic selection. Ani- mals are selected not only based on pedigree and phenotypic data but also on the basis of information about their genotypes. Genomic information helps to increase the accuracy of selection of young animals and thus enables a reduction of the generation interval. Obtaining information about genotypes in the form of SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms) has led to the development of new chips for genotyping. Several methods of genomic comparison have been developed as a result. One of the methods is data imputation, which allows the missing SNPs to be calculated using low-density chips to high-density chips. Through imputations, it is possible to com- bine information from diverse sets of chips and thus obtain more information about genotypes at a lower cost.

Elzo1, Skorn Koonawootrittriron*, and Thanathip Suwanasopee Department of Animal Science, Faculty of Agriculture, Kasetsart University, Bangkok 10900, Thailand ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to investigate the accuracy of imputation from low density (LDC) to moderate density SNP chips (MDC) in a Thai Holstein-Other multibreed dairy cattle population. Dairy cattle with complete pedigree information (n = 1,244) from 145 dairy farms were genotyped with GeneSeek GGP20K (n = 570), GGP26K (n = 540) and GGP80K (n = 134) chips. After checking for single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) quality, 17,779 SNP markers in common between the GGP20K, GGP26K, and GGP80K were used to represent MDC. Animals were divided into two groups, a reference group (n = 912) and a test group (n = 332). The SNP markers chosen for the test group were those located in positions corresponding to GeneSeek GGP9K (n = 7,652). The LDC to MDC genotype imputation was carried out using three different software packages, namely Beagle 3.3 (population-based algorithm), FImpute 2.2 (combined family- and population-based algorithms) and Findhap 4 (combined family- and population-based algorithms). Imputation accuracies within and across chromosomes were calculated as ratios of correctly imputed SNP markers to overall imputed SNP markers. Imputation accuracy for the three software packages ranged from 76.79% to 93.94%.

  • Odyssey: a Semi-Automated Pipeline for Phasing, Imputation, and Analysis of Genome-Wide Genetic Data Ryan J
    Eller et al. BMC Bioinformatics (2019) 20:364 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12859-019-2964-5 METHODOLOGY ARTICLE Open Access Odyssey: a semi-automated pipeline for phasing, imputation, and analysis of genome-wide genetic data Ryan J. Eller1* , Sarath C. Janga2,3 and Susan Walsh1 Abstract Background: Genome imputation, admixture resolution and genome-wide association analyses are timely and computationally intensive processes with many composite and requisite steps. Analysis time increases further when building and installing the run programs required for these analyses. For scientists that may not be as versed in programing language, but want to perform these operations hands on, there is a lengthy learning curve to utilize the vast number of programs available for these analyses. Results: In an effort to streamline the entire process with easy-to-use steps for scientists working with big data, the Odyssey pipeline was developed. Odyssey is a simplified, efficient, semi-automated genome-wide imputation and analysis pipeline, which prepares raw genetic data, performs pre-imputation quality control, phasing, imputation, post-imputation quality control, population stratification analysis, and genome-wide association with statistical data analysis, including result visualization. Odyssey is a pipeline that integrates programs such as PLINK, SHAPEIT, Eagle, IMPUTE, Minimac, and several R packages, to create a seamless, easy-to-use, and modular workflow controlled via a single user-friendly configuration file. Odyssey was built with compatibility in mind, and thus utilizes the Singularity container solution, which can be run on Linux, MacOS, and Windows platforms. It is also easily scalable from a simple desktop to a High-Performance System (HPS).
