Cnv Calling Methods For The Illumina Omni2.5 - Penncnv And Quantisnp Possible?

We would like to use PennCNV and QuantiSNP to call CNVs for new Illumina Omni2.5 array data. These are our normal go-to algorithms for CNV calling. We would like to A) find a way to continue using them or B) find the next best CNV calling algorithm for these arrays.

Problem is PennCNV requires a PFB and HMM file to do CNV calling for these. A PFB file can be generated as Neil showed here. I wondered about the HMM file for the Illumina Omni2.5. I cannot find this anywhere. And I don't know if there is a way to generate it.

For QuantiSNP, it needs an appropriate parameters file and config file as shown here though it is no longer under active development.

I wonder if anyone has solutions that permit either PennCNV or QuantiSNP to be used with the larger Omni2.5 data or, if not, what is the best alternative?

Thanks,

Ryan

I want to run penncnv using Perl on win, I got error message penncnv>perl ./detectcnv.pl PennCNV compilation error: Can't locate loadable object for module khmm in @INC (@INC contains: ./ ./kext C:/Perl/site/lib C:/Perl/lib .) at kext/khmm.pm line 8 . Compilation failed in require at ./detectcnv.pl line 10.

PennCNV compilation error: Your system architecture is 'MSWin32-x86-multi-thread ', which is not compatible with pre-compiled executables in PennCNV package. PennCNV compilation error: Please download source code from http://www.openbioin formatics.org/penncnv and compile executable program.

what does that mean

Did you install Perl to "C:/Perl"? Are you running in CMD or cygwin or other?

hi. i got the same error message, and i ran it in cygwin. can someone please help me rectify this error? I am new in PennCNV, I could not even load the detect_cnv.pl directory, so I am pretty much stuck at the beginning. sigh.

So after emailing Christopher Yau, the creator of QuantiSNP, he referred me to someone using QuantiSNP on the new arrays. That individual suggested that the default files are OK. Instead of levels.dat, it is recommended to use the levels-hd.dat and leave params.dat as it is. So yes, it is possible. As for whether it is the best solution or not, we'll find out when we compare the results to our other algorithms.

After running, it looks like QuantiSNP doesn't do well on the Omni data. No regions of CN=0 are reported. PennCNV seems to have more reasonable numbers.

I have a pfb and gcmodel file for the HumanOmni2.5-8v1_A, if anyone needs it

Hi there. I'd appreciate a copy of these files if that's OK? What did you use for an HMM file when you were running PennCNV with Omni2.5 data?

Hey, I've messaged you the dropbox links for the pfb and gcfile. As for the HMM file we used the provided hhall.hmm.

Hi there, I am looking for a the pfb and gcmodel file too my IlluminaOmni 2.5 data.. I would be grateful if you could share your files with me..

thanks so much!

I am also in need of these files, wondering if you can share it with me also!

Hello!! Could I ask you a copy of the pfb and gcmodel file for the HumanOmni2.5-8 v1.1? Thank you so much!!!!

Hello,

We have genotyped on HumanOmni2.5-8v1_A array and are wondering about pfb and gc files as well. Did you create these files using "all" your signal intensity files? What population, and how many individuals were included for the pfb calculations?

Thanks.

The pfb and gc files were actual made by a colleague at University of Minnesota. I do know the dataset used to create these files were Omni2.5 runs with 601 children (54% female) not selected for any particular phenotype.

Hi,

Could I get the pfb file and gc files for Omni2.5 chip too? Thanks!

Hey, I've messaged you the dropbox links for the pfb and gcfile.

Hi, I did not receive your message. Could you post here? Thanks!

I resent them. I do not want to post the drop box links publicly; not sure there is any risk but I'd rather play it safe. Also, if I remove the files at a later date then the post wont contain dead links. Look in your private messages and email me if you can't see it again.

Download them. Thanks!

Hi, r.j.sicko

Could I get a link for omni2.5?

Thanks a lot

Hello ,

do you have pfb and gc file for Omni5 chip?

I do not have pfb and gc files for the Omni5 only the 2.5, sorry.

do you know how i can make it, myself?

I did not make the files I am using so I do not know for sure. But, I do know the FAQ on the penncnv website says: "If you already have hundreds of signal files (with LRR/BAF values) generated on non-human species, or on non-European populations, then you can use the compile_pfb.pl program to generate PFB file from a collection of signal files."

Also, if you run into problems the creator Dr. Kai Wang seems pretty helpful in at least responding to questions.

Hey, Could I get these pfb and gc files for Omni2,5? thanks a lot !! JF

Hello, did you ever find an answer to this?

Ryan, have you generated your own pfb file?

Hi Ryan,

I noticed that your dropbox for the pfb file is no longer active. I am currently using the Omni2.5 arrays and our lab uses PennCNV as well. I was wondering if you would be able to provide me with the pfb file for these arrays, as well as the GC model file if you have it?

Thanks so much!

Hello there,

I am using QuantiSNP to detect CNVs from the Omni1 quadV1, I run the analyses for all my samples individually and got the row CNV data, do I need to implement the QC inclusion/ exclusion criteria manually, and can anybody walk me through the overlapping of CNV within an individual, between samples, and is PennCNV comparing CNVs from PennCNV, CNVpartition and QuantiSNP ( how can I do so), I would appreciate your quick response, thanks in advance for the help.
