MosaicForecast检测人类样本中的镶嵌单核苷酸变异和插入缺失。检测正常发育中出现的镶嵌突变具有挑战性，因为此类突变通常仅存在于细胞的一小部分中，并且没有明确的匹配对照来去除种系变异和系统性伪影。我们提出了MosaicForecast，这是一种机器学习方法，它利用基于读取的定相和读取水平特征来准确检测马赛克单核苷酸变体和indels，与现有算法相比，特异性提高了数倍。使用单细胞测序和靶向测序，我们验证了在人脑全基因组测序数据中检测到的80-90%的嵌合单核苷酸变体和60-80%的indel。我们的方法将有助于阐明嵌合体细胞突变对疾病起源和发展的贡献。
MosaicForecast detects mosaic single-nucleotide variants and indels in human samples.Detection of mosaic mutations that arise in normal development is challenging, as such mutations are typically present in only a minute fraction of cells and there is no clear matched control for removing germline variants and systematic artifacts. We present MosaicForecast, a machine-learning method that leverages read-based phasing and read-level features to accurately detect mosaic single-nucleotide variants and indels, achieving a multifold increase in specificity compared with existing algorithms. Using single-cell sequencing and targeted sequencing, we validated 80-90% of the mosaic single-nucleotide variants and 60-80% of indels detected in human brain whole-genome sequencing data. Our method should help elucidate the contribution of mosaic somatic mutations to the origin and development of disease.
