Abstract

A genomic data analyzer may be configured to detect and characterize, with a variant calling module, genomic variant scenarios on sequencing reads from an enriched patient genomic sample comprising a combination of a first repeat pattern and a second repeat pattern, such as repeats of homopolymer (single nucleotide) and/or heteropolymer (multiple nucleotide) basic motifs. The variant calling module may estimate the probability distribution of the length of the first repeat pattern and the probability distribution of the repeat pattern length measurements in patient data to the distribution of the repeat pattern length measurements in control data, in order to remove biases possibly induced by the next generation sequencing laboratory setup both in control and patient data. The variant calling module may further measure, read by read, the joint probability distribution for the first and the second repeat patterns lengths, and compare it with the expected joint probability distribution for various genomic variant scenarios for the patient, each variant scenario being characterized by a first length of the first repeat pattern and a second length of the second repeat pattern, to select the most likely patient genomic variant scenario as the scenario for which the measured joint probability distribution best matches the expected joint probability distribution.

Abstract

A genomic data analyzer may be configured to detect and characterize, with a variant analysis module, biallelic genomic alterations for at least one gene in next generation sequencing variant calling information for patient tumor samples characterized by different purity ratios of somatic genomic material. The variant analysis module may compare the observed variant fraction distributions of putative heterozygous germline mutations to the theoretical distributions corresponding to different chromosomal aberration events to detect a combination of genomic alteration events possibly causing the biallelic loss of function of the gene. The variant analysis module may be used in cost effective, fully automated next-generation-sequencing oncogenomics testing to identify biallelic loss of function on tumor suppressor genes to facilitate the biological understanding and choice of a personalized oncology treatment targeting the analyzed patient tumor solely from next generation sequencing data variant information, without requiring complementary germline analysis or biological assays. The proposed genomic data analyzed may for instance help determine whether certain PARP inhibitors such as Olaparib are a recommended chemotherapy treatment to target ovarian or breast cancers in accordance with the BRCA1 and/or BRCA2 biallelic loss of function analysis.

Abstract

A computer-implemented method may obtain variant calling data for the tumor sample. The method may identify, in the variant calling data and in view of at least one population database, a list of germline variants for the tumor sample along each chromosome. The method may identify, in the variant calling data, a list of candidate somatic variants. The method may filter out likely germline variants from the list of candidate somatic variants to retain only likely somatic variants, filtering out the likely germline variants further comprising the steps of estimating a probability of each candidate somatic variant i being a germline variant (“Pgermline(i)”); and determine whether a candidate somatic variant i is germline or somatic, to retain only the likely somatic variants in the list of candidate somatic variants, determining the tumor mutational burden (TMB) value for the tumor sample.

Abstract

A genomic data decoder may jointly compress and encrypt genomic data alignment information while preserving the privacy of sensitive genomic data elements at retrieval stage. Genomic data alignment information organized as a read-based alignment data stream may be transposed into a position-based alignment data stream. The position-based alignment information may be encoded into a reference-based alignment data stream. The reference-based alignment data stream may be encrypted with a combination of order-preserving encryption of the genomic position information and symmetric encryption of the reference-based alignment differential data. Differential encoding and entropy coding schemes may further compress the reference-based alignment data stream. The resulting compressed and encrypted stream may be indexed and stored in a biobank storage unit. A genomic data decoder may efficiently retrieve, decrypt and decode a specific subset of the resulting compressed and encrypted stream without leaking information on the other genomic data subsets in the resulting stream.

Abstract

A genomic data analyzer may be configured to detect and characterize, with a machine learning model such as a trained convolutional neural network, the presence of a genomic instability in a tumor sample. The genomic data analyzer may use whole genome sequencing reads as input data even at low sequencing coverage in a high throughput sequencing workflow as may be routinely employed in a diversity of clinical oncology setups. The genomic data analyzer may arrange the aligned read data coverage from chromosome arms or full chromosomes to form a coverage data signal array possibly as an image. The trained machine learning model may process the coverage data signal array to determine whether a chromosomal spatial instability (CSI) such as for instance a genomic instability caused by a homologous repair or recombination deficiency (HRD) is present in the tumor sample. The latter indication may guide the choice of a preferred anticancer treatment for the tumor.

Abstract

The characterization, classification and reporting of MSI status of patient genomic samples may be provided by high throughput genomic analysis of a set of microsatellite marker loci. The patient sample may only comprise a low fraction of somatic DNA relative to germline DNA. A multi-parametric background model may be used to infer at least two parameters respectively characterizing the sample variant fraction and the MSI genomic alterations of the patient DNA sample relative to a reference background model of the MSS repeat length distribution, without the need to use a germline control sample. A local MSI score may be calculated as a function of the at least two parameters to characterize the MSI status at each locus, and a global composite MSI score may be calculated over all tested loci to characterize and report the overall MSI status for the patient sample. The proposed methods facilitate the deployment of high-throughput genomic data analysis testing for large pools of patients with comparable sensitivity and specificity to prior art biological MSI-status characterization assays.

Abstract

Copy Number Variants (CNV) detection methods may integrate CNV detection into workflow for next generation sequencer (NGS) data processing, in parallel with SNP and INDEL variant calling. CNV detection methods may analyze coverage patterns across a set of genomic regions and across samples from different patients. The methods do not require specifically chosen reference samples as, but automatically select reference samples from the same batch, for each sample tested. CNV detection methods may detect CNVs in a set of samples without assumptions about CNV status of any of those samples. Embodiments herein may apply the CNV detection scheme iteratively to improve detection performance. The proposed methods may further comprise the step of iteratively feeding back information about the CNVs in the samples into the next iteration step. The methods may also use information from the NGS workflow, such as information on SNP fractions, as input to the NGS CNV detection.

Abstract

A genomic data analyser may process the next generation sequencing data of a patient sample to identify whether a variant is present (positive variant calling), absent at a high confidence (negative variant calling), or equivocal (possible false negative calling) as falling under a calculated limit of detection (LOD). This LOD estimate corresponds the lowest variant allele fraction (VAF) detectable at the required sensitivity (true positive rate). The presently disclosed genomic data analyser may improve any legacy variant caller of the prior art by automatically calculating the limitations of variant calling detection for a user-defined sensitivity and minimal VAF of interest for any variant genomic position and/or mutation, depending on analytical factors of the NGS assay and workflow such as the sample type, the DNA sample amount and the NGS assay library conversion rate (LCR), and/or its molecular barcoding capability, as well as its NGS assay error profile.

Abstract

Copy Number Variants (CNV) detection methods described herein may efficiently integrate CNV detection into the workflow for a next generation sequencer (NGS) data processing, in parallel with SNP and INDEL variant calling. CNV detection methods as described herein may be performed by analyzing the coverage pattern across a suitable set of genomic regions or amplicons and across a batch of samples from different patients. The proposed methods do not require the use of specifically chosen reference samples as inputs to the workflow, but rather automatically select a set of reference samples from the same batch, for each sample being tested. The CNV detection methods may reliably detect CNVs in a set of samples without prior assumptions about the CNV status of any of those samples. Embodiments described herein may also apply the CNV detection scheme iteratively to further improve the detection performance, especially in the case of more frequent CNV occurrence. Since the knowledge on the CNVs in reference samples may improve their comparison with the sample being tested, the proposed methods may further comprise the step of iteratively feeding back the information about the CNVs found in the samples from any detection step into the next iteration step. The proposed methods may also further use additional information available from the NGS workflow about the samples, such as information on SNP fractions, as input to the NGS CNV detection.

The genomic data analyzer may arrange the aligned read data coverage from chromosome arms or full chromosomes to form a coverage data signal array possibly as an image. The trained machine learning model may process the coverage data signal array to determine whether a chromosomal spatial instability (CSI) such as for instance a genomic instability caused by a homologous repair or recombination deficiency (HRD) is present in the tumor sample.

Abstract

A genomic data analyzer maybe configured to detect and characterize biallelic genomic alterations for at least one gene in next generation sequencing variant calling information for patient tumor samples characterized by different purity ratios of somatic genomic material. The variant analysis module may compare the observed variant fraction distributions of putative heterozygous germline mutations to the theoretical distributions corresponding to different chromosomal aberration events to detect a combination of genomic alteration events. The variant analysis module maybe used in next-generation-sequencing oncogenomics testing to identify biallelic loss of function on tumor suppressor genes to facilitate the biological understanding and choice of a personalized oncology treatment targeting the analyzed patient tumor solely from next generation sequencing data variant information, without requiring complementary germline analysis or biological assays. The proposed genomic data analyzed may help determine whether PARP inhibitors such as Olaparib are a recommended chemotherapy treatment to target ovarian or breast cancers.

Abstract

The characterization, classification and reporting of MSI status of patient genomic samples may be provided by high throughput genomic analysis of a set of microsatellite marker loci. The patient sample may only comprise a low fraction of somatic DNA relative to germline DNA. A multi-parametric background model may be used to infer at least two parameters respectively characterizing the sample variant fraction and the MSI genomic alterations of the patient DNA sample relative to a reference background model of the MSS repeat length distribution, without the need to use a germline control sample. A local MSI score may be calculated as a function of the at least two parameters to characterize the MSI status at each locus, and a global composite MSI score may be calculated over all tested loci to characterize and report the overall MSI status for the patient sample. The proposed methods facilitate the deployment of high-throughput genomic data analysis testing for large pools of patients with comparable sensitivity and specificity to prior art biological MSI-status characterization assays.

Abstract

A genomic data analyzer may be configured to detect and characterize, with a variant calling module, genomic variants from next generation sequencing reads out of a pool of enriched genomic patient samples without suffering from next generation sequencing workflow biases such as those introduced by sequencing errors in particular in repeat patterns regions of the human genome such as homopolymers or heteropolymers. The variant calling module may estimate the probability distribution of the length of the repeat pattern for each patient sample and cross-analyze it against other samples in a single experimental pool to identify best-fit variant models for each pair of samples. The variant calling module may further group samples according to their matching best-fit variant models and identify which group of patient samples carries the wild type reference without the need for control data in the pool. The variant calling module may subsequently characterize the homozygous or heterozygous repeat patterns variants for each patient sample with improved specificity and accuracy even in the presence of next generation sequencing biases.

Abstract

A genomic data analyzer may be configured to detect and characterize, with a variant calling module, genomic variant scenarios in sequencing reads from an enriched patient genomic sample comprising a combination of a first repeat pattern and a second repeat pattern, such as repeats of homopolymer (single nucleotide) and/or heteropolymer (multiple nucleotide) basic motifs. The variant calling module may estimate the probability distribution of the length of the first repeat pattern and the probability distribution of the length of the second repeat pattern by comparing the distribution of the repeat pattern length measurements in patient data to the distribution of the repeat pattern length measurements in control data, in order to remove biases possibly induced by the next generation sequencing laboratory setup both in control and patient data. The variant calling module may further measure, read by read, the joint probability distribution for the first and the second repeat patterns lengths, and compare it with the expected joint probability distribution for various genomic variant scenarios for the patient, each variant scenario being characterized by a first length of the first repeat pattern and a second length of the second repeat pattern, to select the most likely patient genomic variant scenario as the scenario for which the measured joint probability distribution best matches the expected joint probability distribution.

Abstract

A genomic data decoder may jointly compress and encrypt genomic data alignment information while preserving the privacy of sensitive genomic data elements at retrieval stage. Genomic data alignment information organized as a read-based alignment data stream may be transposed into a position-based alignment data stream. The position-based alignment information may been coded into a reference-based alignment data stream. The reference-based alignment data stream may be encrypted with a combination of order-preserving encryption of the genomic position information and symmetric encryption of the reference-based alignment differential data. Differential encoding and entropy coding schemes may further compress the reference-based alignment data stream. The resulting compressed and encrypted stream may be indexed and stored in a biobank storage unit. A genomic data decoder may efficiently retrieve, decrypt and decode a specific subset of the resulting compressed and encrypted stream without leaking information on the other genomic data subsets in the resulting stream.

Abstract

A genomic data analyzer maybe configured to detect and characterize, with a variant analysis module, biallelic genomic alterations for at least one gene in next generation sequencing variant calling information for patient tumor samples characterized by different purity ratios of somatic genomic material. The variant analysis module may compare the observed variant fraction distributions of putative heterozygous germline mutations to the theoretical distributions corresponding to different chromosomal aberration events to detect a combination of genomic alteration events possibly causing the biallelic loss of function of the gene. The variant analysis module maybe used in cost effective, fully automated next-generation-sequencing oncogenomics testing to identify biallelic loss of function on tumor suppressor genes to facilitate the biological understanding and choice of a personalized oncology treatment targeting the analyzed patient tumor solely from next generation sequencing data variant information, without requiring complementary germline analysis or biological assays. The proposed genomic data analyzed may for instance help determine whether certain PARP inhibitors such as Olaparib are a recommended chemotherapy treatment to target ovarian or breast cancers in accordance with the BRCA1 and/or BRCA2 biallelic loss of function analysis.

Abstract

Copy Number Variants (CNV) detection methods described herein may efficiently integrate CNV detection into the workflow for a next generation sequencer (NGS) data processing, in parallel with SNP and INDEL variant calling. CNV detection methods as described herein may be performed by analyzing the coverage pattern across a suitable set of genomic regions or amplicons and across a batch of samples from different patients. The proposed methods do not require the use of specifically chosen reference samples as inputs to the workflow, but rather automatically select a set of reference samples from the same batch, for each sample being tested. The CNV detection methods may reliably detect CNVs in a set of samples without prior assumptions about the CNV status of any of those samples. Embodiments described herein may also apply the CNV detection scheme iteratively to further improve the detection performance, especially in the case of more frequent CNV occurrence. Since the knowledge on the CNVs in reference samples may improve their comparison with the sample being tested, the proposed methods may further comprise the step of iteratively feeding back the information about the CNVs found in the samples from any detection step into the next iteration step. The proposed methods may also further use additional information available from the NGS workflow about the samples, such as information on SNP fractions, as input to the NGS CNV detection.

Abstract

A method to manage raw genomic data (SAM/BAM files) in a privacy preserving manner in a biobank. By using order preserving encryption of the reads' positions, the method provides a requested range of nucleotides to a medical unit, without revealing the locations of the short reads (which include the requested nucleotides) to the biobank. The method prevents the leakage of extra information in the short reads to the medical unit by masking the encrypted short reads at the biobank. That is, specific parts of the genomic data for which the medical unit is not authorized or the patient prefers to keep secret are masked at the biobank, without revealing any information to the biobank.

Abstract

A genomic data analyzer may be configured to detect and characterize, with a variant calling module, genomic variant scenarios in sequencing reads from an enriched patient genomic sample comprising a combination of a first repeat pattern and a second repeat pattern, such as repeats of homopolymer (single nucleotide) and/or heteropolymer (multiple nucleotide) basic motifs. The variant calling module may estimate the probability distribution of the length of the first repeat pattern and the probability distribution of the length of the second repeat pattern by comparing the distribution of the repeat pattern length measurements in patient data to the distribution of the repeat pattern length measurements in control data, in order to remove biases possibly induced by the next generation sequencing laboratory setup both in control and patient data. The variant calling module may further measure, read by read, the joint probability distribution for the first and the second repeat patterns lengths, and compare it with the expected joint probability distribution for various genomic variant scenarios for the patient, each variant scenario being characterized by a first length of the first repeat pattern and a second length of the second repeat pattern, to select the most likely patient genomic variant scenario as the scenario for which the measured joint probability distribution best matches the expected joint probability distribution.

Abstract

A genomic data analyzer system detects a set of characteristics that uniquely determine the input next-generation-sequencing (NGS) sample processing and corresponding genomic context for optimizing a genomic analysis workflow in precision medicine applications. Depending on characteristics such as the DNA target enrichment amplicon-based or probe-based assay technology, the sample type or laboratory process characteristics, the NGS sequencing technology and the genomic context, the genomic data analyzer automatically selects and configures a data alignment module and a variant calling module to optimize the sensitivity and the specificity of the detection of genomic mutations of clinical relevance such as SNPs and INDELs in a diversity of pathologies. More characteristics of the sequencing technology, the target enrichment technology, the samples or the genomic context may be identified according to intermediary results of the data alignment module and the variant calling module, and the genomic data analyzer may further adapt accordingly the alignment module and the variant calling module to execute specific genomic data processing methods. The genomic data analyzer system can thus automatically serve a diversity of sourcing laboratories operating with different biological assays and sequencing technologies setups for different pathologies without requiring a dedicated manual configuration of the genomic analysis workflow at each laboratory for each possible personalized medicine genomic analysis request.

Abstract

A genomic data decoder may jointly compress and encrypt genomic data alignment information while preserving the privacy of sensitive genomic data elements at retrieval stage. Genomic data alignment information organized as a read-based alignment data stream may be transposed into a position-based alignment data stream. The position-based alignment information may been coded into a reference- based alignment data stream. The reference-based alignment data stream may be encrypted with a combination of order-preserving encryption of the genomic position information and symmetric encryption of the reference-based alignment differential data. Differential encoding and entropy coding schemes may further compress the reference-based alignment data stream. The resulting compressed and encrypted stream may be indexed and stored in a biobank storage unit. A genomic data decoder may efficiently retrieve, decrypt and decode a specific subset of the resulting compressed and encrypted stream without leaking information on the other genomic data subsets in the resulting stream.

Abstract

Copy Number Variants (CNV) detection methods described herein may efficiently integrate CNV detection into the workflow for a next generation sequencer (NGS) data processing, in parallel with SNP and INDEL variant calling. CNV detection methods as described herein may be performed by analyzing the coverage pattern across a suitable set of genomic regions or amplicons and across a batch of samples from different patients. The proposed methods do not require the use of specifically chosen reference samples as inputs to the workflow, but rather automatically select a set of reference samples from the same batch, for each sample being tested. The CNV detection methods may reliably detect CNVs in a set of samples without prior assumptions about the CNV status of any of those samples. Embodiments described herein may also apply the CNV detection scheme iteratively to further improve the detection performance, especially in the case of more frequent CNV occurrence. Since the knowledge on the CNVs in reference samples may improve their comparison with the sample being tested, the proposed methods may further comprise the step of iteratively feeding back the information about the CNVs found in the samples from any detection step into the next iteration step. The proposed methods may also further use additional information available from the NGS workflow about the samples, such as information on SNP fractions, as input to the NGS CNV detection.

Abstract

A method to manage raw genomic data (SAM/BAM files) in a privacy preserving manner in a biobank. By using order preserving encryption of the reads' positions, the method provides a requested range of nucleotides to a medical unit, without revealing the locations of the short reads (which include the requested nucleotides) to the biobank. The method prevents the leakage of extra information in the short reads to the medical unit by masking the encrypted short reads at the biobank. That is, specific parts of the genomic data for which the medical unit is not authorized or the patient prefers to keep secret are masked at the biobank, without revealing any information to the biobank.

Abstract

A method to manage raw genomic data (SAM/BAM files) in a privacy preserving manner in a biobank. By using order preserving encryption of the reads' positions,the method provides a requested range of nucleotides to a medical unit, without revealing the locations of the short reads (which include the requested nucleotides) to the biobank. The method prevents the leakage of extra information in the short reads to the medical unit by masking the encrypted short reads at the biobank. That is, specific parts of the genomic data for which the medical unit is not authorized or the patient prefers to keep secret are masked at the biobank, without revealing any information to the biobank.
