Abstract

Extra information

MOTIVATION: Somatic mutations are usually called by analysing the DNA sequence of a tumor sample in conjunction with a matched normal. However, a matched normal is not always available, for instance, in retrospective analysis or diagnostic settings. For such cases, tumor-only somatic variant calling tools need to be designed. Previously proposed approaches demonstrate inferior performance on whole genome sequencing (WGS) samples. RESULTS: We present the convolutional neural network-based approach called DeepSom for detecting somatic single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and short insertion and deletion (INDEL) variants in tumor WGS samples without a matched normal. We validate DeepSom by reporting its performance on 5 different cancer datasets. We also demonstrate that on WGS samples DeepSom outperforms previously proposed methods for tumor-only somatic variant calling. AVAILABILITY: DeepSom is available as a GitHub repository at https://github.com/heiniglab/DeepSom. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
