Initial results NIAID reservoir full HIV genomes 2013 October 21st

- GOAL: examine full length HIV genomes isolated from reservoir to gather evidence of whether the viruses are viable - A number of samples were sequenced and analyzed with the goal of obtaining continuous long-reads that cover the entire HIV genome - Summary: - We obtained full length HIV genomes with good yield for most of the samples. - Two genomes were determined to be hyper-mutated. - Runs were single genome samples except for Pt1#1 which is a complex mixture. - Pt1#1 is a mixture of 30 genomes by preliminary estimates. There is a large contiguous-deletion variant subpopulation. - A control experiment of a 90%/10% clone mix was successfully separated into constituent genomes. Next ================================

Inputs and Methods

- I used the HXB2 HIV reference as an initial generic reference. After examining coverage, I trimmed the reference to the highly covered bases: 700:9620 (length=8921). Here is the trimmed reference:
hiv_hxb2_whole_genome-covered.fasta - Here is the run table of examined runs (two clones, 9 patients, two clone mixes):

- More runs were done but are not analyzed in this document. - ClusteringConsensus is used to estimate a per-sample consensus reference, align raw reads to that reference, and keep only those that are fully-spanned to within 1%. Multiple alignments are generated and reads in the alignments are clustered to look for any structure. Various statistics are reported. - Hyper-mutations were examined using the tool at www.hiv.lanl.gov. Next ================================

Variant Positions

- Number of positions that are likely to contain minor variants according to simple entropy threshold in the multiple alignments
Num Sample 0 clucon-Pt4-1#1 0 clucon-1%pNL43 0 clucon-pDH12 1 clucon-Pt2#1 2 clucon-Pt6#1 4 clucon-pNL43 5 clucon-Pt7#1 6 clucon-Pt8#1 x 6 clucon-Pt4-2#1 8 clucon-Pt3#1 x 91 clucon-Pt1#1 1209 clucon-Pt5#1 x
- Only Pt1#1 appears to have a good number of variant positions. The others might be to untuned thresholds. (x discounts the low coverage runs)
Next ================================

Clustering

- Examine the complete-linkage clustering of all reads on variant positions. Pt1 Pt2 Pt3 Pt4-2 Pt5 Pt6 Pt7 Pt8 pNL43 - Note missing plots had no variant positions on which to cluster. - Each column is a full-length amplicon-spanning read and the y-axis represents the distance which is the fraction of variant positions that disagree (0=identical, 1=completely different over the variant positions). For example, a join distance of 0.8 between subclusters says that every pairwise distance in the subtree is less than 0.8. - Only Pt1#1 has complexity and likely multiple genomes.
Next ================================

Truth Comparison

- We were given Sanger reference sequences for NL43, DH12, Pt1, and Pt4-2. - Show alignments of PacBio consensus to Sanger (Sanger top, PacBio bottom) (Best viewed in long line browser to see alignment, Firefox) - NL43:
blasr.pNL43.CMRS.output (4 G, 1 C homopolymer deletions) - DH12: blasr.pDH12.CMRS.output (8 G, 1 C homopolymer deletions) - Pt1: (heterogeneous sample) blasr.Pt1.output ( many differences with large delete ) - Pt4-2: blasr.Pt4-2.output (1 G, 4 A, 1 C homopolymer deletions) - Note several homopolymer deletion errors. This is caused by a software bug that didn't allow full base sequencing information (QVs) to be used in consensus. This is being fixed and should lead to elimination of the homopolymer deletion errors. Next ================================

Hyper-mutation Analysis

- Hyper-mutations are estimated by aligning the consensus to HXB2 and submitting the two sequence alignment to
http://www.hiv.lanl.gov/content/sequence/HYPERMUT/hypermut.html
Sample Hypermutation p-value counts 1%pNL43 95.5% pDH12 94.1% pNL43 83.0% Pt1#1 68.1% Pt2#1 87.1% Pt3#1 83.7% X Pt4-1#1 1.11e-53 334/1109 Pt4-2#1 6.73e-52 336/1105 Pt5#1 70.0% X Pt6#1 91.6% Pt7#1 95.5% Pt8#1 98.7% X X marks low yield runs
- Pt4-1#1 and Pt4-2#1 are hyper-mutated Next ================================

Pt1 Mixture

- Pt1 sample was estimated to be a complex mixture. - Run ClusteringConsensus recursively until all reads in subgroup are determined to be single genome. - Recursive Tree:

- Largest genome is 8873 bases and next largest is 7371 bases, a large deletion variant. - Note: this is an initial result. The algorithm is complex and has tunable parameters that must be further optimized. Consequently, our confidence in the 30 genomes is not as high as it would be after tuning. Next ================================

Large Deletions

- Pt1 has large-deletion subspecies. ( This is corroborated by a second band seen in the sizing gel ) - Alignment of the two longest consensus genomes (8873 bases vs 7371 bases)
pt1sub2longest.blasr A large contiguous deletion! - This deletion variant can be seen using simple methods: - 1. Plot cumulative sum of deletions for each read in multiple alignment (contiguous deletions go up at angle). 2. Plot density of raw mapped readlengths. There is a population of ~1750 base deletion (4000:5750 in the sample consensus reference). Next ================================

Control clone mixture

- For a positive control for mixture deconvolution, sequence a mixture of clones: 90% pDH12 / 10% pNL43. - ClusteringConsensus starts with generic HXB2 and estimates mixture consensus. It then discovers 95 variable positions and clusters. (Alignment of Sanger reads shows 725 differences. Lower coverage might cause lower number to be discovered ) - Clustering plot on those 95 positions show minor subspecies: - Stratifying reads into those two clusters shows 117 reads in minor and 1907 reads in major. This is a 5.8% minor mixture which might just be an imperfect mix of the 10% designed. - Aligning the two consensus sequences from the deconvolution to Sanger truth shows: - DH12 (20 homopolymer deletions only)
10percent-dh12-D1C1.blasr - NL43 (9 homopolymer deletions only) 10percent-nl43-D1C2.blasr - NOTE: software bug not using full sequencing information and lower coverage from stratification cause more HPdel errors. With software fix, we expect most to all of these errors to disappear. - Knowing nothing more than the sample contains HIV, we are able to extract two complete HIV genomes and estimate the mixture proportion. Next ================================
