Improving Translational Accuracy

Improving Translational Accuracy

Base complementarity between the three base pairs of mRNA codon and the tRNA anticodon is not a failsafe mechanism. Inaccuracies can range from a single mismatch to no correct base pairing at all. The free energy difference between the correct and nearly correct base pairs can be as small as 3 kcal/ mol. With complementarity being the only proofreading step, the estimated error frequency would be one wrong amino acid in every 100 amino acids incorporated. However, error frequencies observed in...

Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs

Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs

Sequencing of the human genome has opened up several best-kept secrets of the genome. Scientists have identified thousands of genome variations that exist within a population. These variations can be a single nucleotide or a larger chromosomal variation.
Copy number variations or CNVs are the structural variations that cover more than 1kb of DNA sequence. The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), on the other hand, is a single nucleotide change or a point mutation that is found in more than 1%...

Area of Science:

Genomics
Bioinformatics
Machine Learning

Background:

Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) and Third-Generation Sequencing (TGS) platforms like Illumina and PacBio produce high-accuracy data.
Deep Learning (DL) has advanced variant calling, with DeepVariant using a Deep Neural Network (DNN) for image recognition-based analysis.
Classical variant calling methods are often surpassed by DL approaches in accuracy.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop an alternative DNN approach for variant calling.
To design DNN architectures and inference functions tailored to sequencing data characteristics.
To move beyond the image recognition paradigm used in DeepVariant.

Main Methods:

Developed custom DNN architectures for variant calling.
Implemented customized variant inference functions specific to sequencing data.
Evaluated performance across Illumina, PacBio, and hybrid sequencing data.

Main Results:

The proposed method utilizes smaller DNNs that outperform DeepVariant's Inception-v3 architecture.
Significant reductions in indel call errors: up to 18% (Illumina), 55% (PacBio), and 65% (hybrid).
Developed models are 7-14 times smaller than DeepVariant's.

Conclusions:

The novel approach offers improved accuracy and customization for variant calling.
These advancements can lead to more accurate genomic pipelines and further research.
The HELLO software is publicly available for use and development.
