Comprehensive Assessment of Somatic Copy Number Variation Calling Using Next-Generation Sequencing Data
2021
Abstract Copy number variation (CNV) is a common type of mutation that often drives cancer progression. With advances in next-generation sequencing (NGS), CNVs can be detected in a detailed manner via newly developed computational tools but quality of such CNV calls has not been carefully evaluated. We analyzed CNV calls reported by 6 cutting-edge callers for 91 samples which were derived from the same cancer cell line, prepared and sequenced by varying the following factors: type of tissue sample (Fresh vs. Formalin Fixed Paraffin Embedded (FFPE)), library DNA amount, tumor purity, sequencing platform (Whole-Genome Sequencing (WGS) versus Whole-Exome Sequencing (WES)), and sequencing coverage. We found that callers greatly determined the pattern of CNV calls. Calling quality was drastically impaired by low purity (
