Whole Genome Shotgun Sequencing Reads are assembled to reconstruct the original DNA sequence.
Sequencing Technologies • HGP era: single technology (Sanger) • Current: multiple “next generation” technologies (eg. Illumina, So. Li. D, Pac Bio, Ion Torrent, etc. ) • All provide massively parallel sequencing. • Each technology has different read lengths, noise profiles, etc
Assembly Algorithms • Many proposed algorithms. • Different algorithms tailored to different technologies. • Each algorithm deals with the full complexity of the problem while trying to scale well with the massive amount of data. • Lots of heuristics used in the design.
A Basic Question • What is the minimum number of reads needed to reconstruct with a given reliability? • A benchmark for comparing different algorithms. • An algorithm-independent basis for comparing different technologies and designing new ones.
Coverage Analysis • Pioneered by Lander-Waterman • What is the minimum number of reads to ensure there is no gap between the reads with a desired prob. ? • Only provides a lower bound. • Can one get a tight lower bound?
Communication and Sequencing: An Analogy Communication: Sequencing:
Communication: Fundamental Limits Given statistical models for source and channel: Shannon 48 Asymptotically reliable communication at rate R source symbols per channel output symbol if and only if:
DNA Sequencing: Fundamental Limits? • Define: sequencing rate R = G/N basepairs per read • Question: can one define a sequencing capacity C such that: asymptotically reliable reconstruction is possible if and only if R < C?
A Simple Model • DNA sequence: i. i. d. with distribution p. • Starting positions of reads are i. i. d. uniform on the DNA sequence. • Read process is noiseless. Will extend to more complex source model and noisy read process later.
The read channel AGCTTATAGGTCCGCATTACC • Capacity depends on – read length: L – DNA length: G • Normalized read length: • Eg. L = 100, G = 3 £ 109 : read channel AGGTCC
Result: Sequencing Capacity Renyi entropy of order 2
Coverage Constraint G L T Starting positions of reads ~ Poisson(1/R) N reads
No-Duplication Constraint L L The two possibilities have the same set of length L subsequences.
Achievability no-duplication constraint coverage constraint achievable?
Greedy Algorithm Input: the set of N reads of length L 1. Set the initial set of contigs as the reads. 2. Find two contigs with largest overlap and merge them into a new contig. 3. Repeat step 2 until only one contig remains or no more merging can be done. Algorithm progresses in stages: at stage merge reads at overlap
Greedy algorithm: the beginning gap Most reads have large overlap with neighbors Expected # of errors in stage L-1: probability two disjoint reads are equal Very small since no-duplication constraint is satisfied.
Greedy algorithm: stage Expected # of errors at stage probability two disjoint reads appear to overlap This may get larger, but no larger than Very small since coverage constraint is satisfied. when
Summary: Two Regimes duplication-limited regime coverage-limited regime
Relation to Earlier Works • Coverage constraint: Lander-Waterman 88 • No-duplication constraint: Arratia et al 96 • Arratia et al focused on a model where all length L subsequences are given (seq. by hybridization) • Our result: the two constraints together are necessary and sufficient for shotgun sequencing.
Rest of Talk • Impact of read noise. • Impact of repeats in DNA sequence
Read Noise ACGTCCTATGCGTAATGCCACATATTGCTATGCGTAATGCG TATA CTTA Model: discrete memoryless channel defined by transition probabilities
Modified Greedy algorithm X Y Y Do we merge the two reads at overlap ? We observe two strings: X and Y. Are they noisy versions of the same DNA subsequence? (merge) Or from two different locations? (do not merge) This is a hypothesis testing problem!
Impact on Sequencing Rate H 0: noisy versions of the same DNA subsequence (merge) H 1: from disjoint DNA subsequences (do not merge) • Hypothesis test: MAP rule: declare H 0 if X Y Y Two types of error: • false positive (same as before) • missed detection (new type of error)
Impact on Sequencing Rate no-duplication constraint coverage constraint obtained by optimizing MAP threshold
More Complex DNA Statistics • i. i. d. is not a very good model for the DNA sequence. • More generally, we may want to model it as a correlated random process. • For short-scale correlation, H 2(p) can be replaced by the Renyi entropy rate of the process. • But for higher mammals, DNA contains long repeats, repeat length comparable or longer than reads. • This is handled by paired-end reads in practice.
A Simple Model for Repeats K Model: M repeats of length K placed uniformly into DNA sequence If repeat length K>> read length L, how to reconstruct sequence? Use paired-end reads: J These reads can bridge the repeats reads come in pairs with known separation
Impact on Sequencing Rate K= repeat length J = paired-end separation constant indep of K If J > 2 d + K then capacity is the same as without repeats no-duplication constraint coverage of repeats constraint
Conclusion • DNA sequencing is an important problem. • Many new technologies and new applications. • An analogy between sequencing and communication is drawn. • A notion of sequencing capacity is formulated. • A principled design framework?
