[DOCKTESTERS] BWA-Mem validation of DO51057 normal) 0.013% miss-matches, and 3.7% soft-matches, tumor) 0.043% miss-matches, and 4.64% soft-matches

Tue Apr 11 07:51:20 EDT 2017

Hi Miguel,

Thanks for the update, that was indeed the order I was looking for.
And you’re right, I was too quick, only the number of matches is exactly identical.
The 24 (normal) and 48 (tumor) mismatches that became soft-matches in my run I guess may be cases where a uniquely mapping and a non-uniquely mapping read are flagged as duplicates and one is removed in your run and the other in mine and the original run.
We could have a look at these reads, and try to trace this issue, but as Lincoln mentioned, maybe we should switch our focus to the other containers, and consider BWA-Mem validated given the observed small mismatch rates.

It seems as if differences in the sequence of bam file processing only have a small effect on the final result (in this case at least).
Could it be that the order of reads within the original bams has a bigger effect than the order of the bams themselves?

Thanks,
Jonas

Hi Jonas,

About the BAM order in the header I have some lines that start with @PG and then have a "CL:" field with the command line, I guess you are referring to those. The order is actually 1,2,3,4,5 and 6, which is the one I used.

About the numbers, they are almost the same, yet not entirely the same. There are 442902 miss-matches in yours and 442926 in mine. So it appears that 24 of my miss-matches became soft-matches in yours. I would have expected a move between matches and soft-matches but not with miss-matches and soft-matches. It's a bit odd. I could send you the list of my miss-matches and we can find out which are the ones that moved and find out why.

Hi all,

I’ve completed the testing run of the BWA-Mem docker on PCAWG donor DO51057.
Briefly, like Miguel’s run, this test used the original unaligned bam files for DO51057, but feeds them via the JSON file into the docker in a slightly different order (as recorded in the @PG/@CL lines in the original mapped PCAWG bams)
Results of the comparison are as follows:

Matched normal:
Lines: 1125172217
Matches: 1083221794
Misses: 143668
Soft: 41806755

Tumor:
Lines: 1010685786
Matches: 963319037<tel:963%2031%2090%2037>
Misses: 442902
Soft: 46923847

Which are exactly the numbers reported by Miguel (resulting in 0.043% and 0.013% mismatch rates).
The fact that the numbers match exactly comes as a bit of a surprise I think, but shows that the current pipeline is highly reproducible, even across platforms.

@Miguel, could you verify the order of mapping of the different read groups in the header of your newly mapped bams.
For the original and newly mapped normal bams the order recorded in the @CL lines is CPCG_0098_Ly_R_PE_517_WG.3 - 6 - 1 - 4 - 2 - 5
For the tumor bams the order is: CPCG_0098_Pr_P_PE_500_WG.5 - 3 - 6 - 2 - 4 - 1
Do you observe the same or a different order?
If it’s the same, then the pipeline does some internal reordering and the order of records in the JSON doesn’t matter.
If not, then the order of the bams doesn’t seem to matter as much (at least in this case), but maybe rather the order of reads within the bams (as evidenced by our high error rates previously).

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this!
Jonas

Hi all,

The comparison with the tumor BAM for DO51057 has completed with rates of miss-maches (0.043%) and soft-matches (4.64%) just slightly higher than for the normal BAM. These numbers are not definitive since as you can read from Jonas just below, there might still be a discrepancy in the order in which the BAM where processed.  We'll soon know from Jonas if a different order will fix these rates even more.

Hi all,

I’m currently running the comparison of the BWA-Mem docker reproduced bams and the PCAWG ones for DO51057.
I should be able to send a report some time today.

Miguel, looking at your code, I believe you’re feeding the unaligned bams into the pipeline in the order given by the read group lines (@RG) in the header of the PCAWG bam.
I’m using the order recorded in the command line/programs used (@CL/@PG) lines of the PCAWG bam, which is often different for whatever reason.
I’m not entirely sure which one is the correct one, but I’m guessing the one in the @CL/@PG lines is the actual one as it chronologically reiterates the whole procedure ( [align - sort] x N followed by merge + flag dups )
If this is the case, the true % mismatches may be lower still than 0.013%, if not, then I should see a higher mismatch rate and the 0.013% is due to something else still.

Regarding the soft-matches, I agree with Junjun, we may want to ask the people behind the variant callers, but I guess they are probably dealing with these multiply-mapping reads internally.

Best,
Jonas

Hi Miguel,

This is indeed good news, the mismatch is significantly lower.

Regarding soft matches, thanks for the explanation. I wonder whether it has impact (or how much impact) on variant calls, do variant callers take into account the information that a read may map to multiple places? Does it make adjustment at the time of variant calling? I guess these are questions for variant caller authors.

Thanks,
Junjun

Subject: Re: [DOCKTESTERS] BWA-Mem validation of DO51057 (normal BAM only). 96.3% matches, 0.013% miss-matches, and 3.7% soft-matches

Hi Lincoln,

Soft-match means that the alignment position in the new BAM is not the same is the one in the original BAM, but is included in the list of alternative alignments for that read.

For instance, the original bam aligns a read to chr 1 pos 1000, but also admits that is could be aligned at chr 2 pos 2000 or chr 3 pos 3000, the new bam aligns it at chr 2 pos 2000, which is not the position chosen by the original BAM but is in the alternative list. It could also work the other way, that the original position is included in the list of alternative positions of the new BAM

I hope this was clear.

Best regards

Miguel

Dear all,

This is just an advance teaser for the BWA-Mem validation after the latest changes, it is currently running over the tumor BAM, but the normal BAM has completed and the missmatches are two orders of magnitude lower than in our two previous attempts. Before further discussion here are the raw numbers:

Lines: 1125172217
Matches: 1083221794
Misses: 143716
Soft: 41806707

If my calculation are correct this means 96.3% matches, 0.013% miss-matches, and 3.7% soft-matches.

The fix was two part. First realizing that the input of this process should not be a single unaligned version of the output BAMs, but several input BAMs. Breaking down the output bam into it's constituent BAMs, by a process implemented by Jonas, dit not address the problem unfortunately. After this first attempt it was pointed out to us, I think by Keiran, that the order of the reads matter, and so our attempt to work back from the output BAM was not going to work. Junjun came back to us with the second part of the fix, he located a subset of original unaligned BAMs in the DKFZ that we could use. Downloading these BAM files and submitting them to BWA-Mem in the same order as was specified in the output BAM header achieved these promising results.

I will reply this message in a few days with the corresponding numbers for the other BAM, the tumor, which is currently running.

Dear all,

Great news! The BWA-Mem test on a real PCAWG donor succeed in running; achieving an overlap with the original BAM alignment similar to the HCC1143 test. The numbers are:

Lines: 1708047647
Matches: 1589172843
Misses: 62726130
Soft: 56148674

Which mean 93% matches, 3.6% miss-matches, and 3.2% soft-matches. Compared to the HCC1143 test there are a few percentage points in matches that turn into soft-matches (95% and 1.3% to 93% and 3.2%), but the ratio of misses is very close 3.6%.

I'm running this test on a second donor.

Dear colleagues,

I'm very happy to say that the BWA-Mem pipeline finished for the HCC1143 data.

I think what solved the problem was setting the headers to the unaligned BAM files. I'm currently trying it out with the DO35937 donor, but its too early to say if its working or not.

To compare BAM files I've followed some advice that I found on the internet https://www.biostars.org/p/166221/. I will detail them a bit below because I would like some advice as to how appropriate the approach is, but first here are the numbers:

Lines: 74264390
Matches: 70565742
Misses: 2693687
Soft: 1004961

Which means 95% matches, 3.6% miss-matches, and 1.3% soft-matches. Matches are when the chromosome and position are the same, soft-matches are when they are not the same but the position from one of the alignments is included in the list of alternative positions for the other alignment (e.g  XA:Z:15,-102516528,76M,0), and misses are the rest.

Here is the detailed process from the start. The comparison script is here https://github.com/mikisvaz/PCAWG-Docker-Test/blob/master/bin/compare_bwa_bam.sh

1) Un-align tumor and normal BAM files, retaining the original aligned BAM files
2) Run BWA-Mem wich produces a file called HCC1143.merged_output.bam with alignments from both tumor and normal
3) use samtools to extract the entries, limited for the first in pair (?), cut the read-name, chromosome, position (??) and extra information (for additional alignments) and sort them. We do this for the original files and for the BWA-Mem merged_output file, but separating tumor and normal entries (marked with the codes 'tumor' and 'normal', I believe from the headers I set when un-aligning them)
4) join the lines by read-name, separately for the tumor and normal pairs of files, and check for matches

I've two questions:
(?) Is it OK to select only the first in pair, its what the guy in the example did, and it did simplify the code without repeated read-names
(??) I guess its OK to only check chromosome and position, the cigar would be necessarily the same.

Dear all,

Let me summarize the status of the testing for Sanger and DKFZ. The validation has been run for two donors for each workflow: DO50311 DO52140

Sanger:
----------

Sanger call only somatic variants. The results are identical for Indels and SVs but almost identical for SNV.MNV and CNV. The discrepancies are reproducible (on the same machine at least), i.e. the same are found after running the workflow a second time.

DKFZ:
---------
DKFZ cals somatic and germline variants, except germline CNVs. For both germline and somatic variants the results are identical for SNV.MNV and Indels but with large discrepancies for SV and CNV.

Kortine Kleinheinz and Joachim Weischenfeldt are in the process of investigating this issue I believe.

BWA-Mem failed for me and has also failed for Denis Yuen and Jonas Demeulemeester. Denis I believe is investigating this problem further. I haven't had the chance to investigate this much myself.
