ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
In large-scale high-throughput sequencing projects and biobank construction, sample tagging is essential to prevent sample mix-ups. Despite the availability of fingerprint panels for DNA data, little research has been conducted on sample tagging of whole genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) data. This study aims to construct a pipeline and identify applicable fingerprint panels to address this problem.RESULTS:
Using autosome-wide A/T polymorphic single nucleotide variants (SNVs) obtained from whole genome sequencing (WGS) and WGBS of individuals from the Third China National Stroke Registry, we designed a fingerprint panel and constructed an optimized pipeline for tagging WGBS data. This pipeline used Bis-SNP to call genotypes from the WGBS data, and optimized genotype comparison by eliminating wildtype homozygous and missing genotypes, and retaining variants with identical genomic coordinates and reference/alternative alleles. WGS-based and WGBS-based genotypes called from identical or different samples were extensively compared using hap.py. In the first batch of 94 samples, the genotype consistency rates were between 71.01%-84.23% and 51.43%-60.50% for the matched and mismatched WGS and WGBS data using the autosome-wide A/T polymorphic SNV panel. This capability to tag WGBS data was validated among the second batch of 240 samples, with genotype consistency rates ranging from 70.61%-84.65% to 49.58%-61.42% for the matched and mismatched data, respectively. We also determined that the number of genetic variants required to correctly tag WGBS data was on the order of thousands through testing six fingerprint panels with different orders for the number of variants. Additionally, we affirmed this result with two self-designed panels of 1351 and 1278 SNVs, respectively. Furthermore, this study confirmed that using the number of genetic variants with identical coordinates and ref/alt alleles, or identical genotypes could not correctly tag WGBS data.CONCLUSION:
This study proposed an optimized pipeline, applicable fingerprint panels, and a lower boundary for the number of fingerprint genetic variants needed for correct sample tagging of WGBS data, which are valuable for tagging WGBS data and integrating multi-omics data for biobanks.Palabras clave
