Abstract
Copy number variations (CNVs) are gains and losses of genomic sequence between two individuals of a species when compared to a reference genome. The data from single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) microarrays are now routinely used for genotyping, but they also can be utilized for copy number detection. Substantial progress has been made in array design and CNV calling algorithms and at least 10 comparison studies in humans have been published to assess them. In this review, we first survey the literature on existing microarray platforms and CNV calling algorithms. We then examine a number of CNV calling tools to evaluate their impacts using bovine high-density SNP data. Large incongruities in the results from different CNV calling tools highlight the need for standardizing array data collection, quality assessment and experimental validation. Only after careful experimental design and rigorous data filtering can the impacts of CNVs on both normal phenotypic variability and disease susceptibility be fully revealed.
期刊介绍:
High-Throughput (formerly Microarrays, ISSN 2076-3905) is a multidisciplinary peer-reviewed scientific journal that provides an advanced forum for the publication of studies reporting high-dimensional approaches and developments in Life Sciences, Chemistry and related fields. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results based on high-throughput techniques as well as computational and statistical tools for data analysis and interpretation. The full experimental or methodological details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. High-Throughput invites submissions covering several topics, including, but not limited to: Microarrays, DNA Sequencing, RNA Sequencing, Protein Identification and Quantification, Cell-based Approaches, Omics Technologies, Imaging, Bioinformatics, Computational Biology/Chemistry, Statistics, Integrative Omics, Drug Discovery and Development, Microfluidics, Lab-on-a-chip, Data Mining, Databases, Multiplex Assays.
