Abstract: Whole-genome single-cell DNA sequencing (scDNA-seq) enables characterization of copy-number profiles at the cellular level. We propose SCOPE, a normalization and copy-number estimation method for the noisy scDNA-seq data. SCOPE's main features include the following: (1) a Poisson latent factor model for normalization, which borrows information across cells and regions to estimate bias, using in silico identified negative control cells; (2) an expectation-maximization algorithm embedded in the normalization step, which accounts for the aberrant copy-number changes and allows direct ploidy estimation without the need for post hoc adjustment; and (3) a cross-sample segmentation procedure to identify breakpoints that are shared across cells with the same genetic background. We evaluate SCOPE on a diverse set of scDNA-seq data in cancer genomics and show that SCOPE offers accurate copy-number estimates and successfully reconstructs subclonal structure. A record of this paper's transparent peer review process is included in the Supplemental Information.

Characterizing allele- and haplotype-specific copy numbers in single cells with CHISEL
TL;DR: Genomic copy-number aberrations in single cells are identified with allele specificity and the reconstruction of tumor evolution is refined, identifying low-frequency subpopulations distinguished by unique CNAs and uncovering evidence of convergent evolution.

TL;DR: Sci3 as discussed by the authors is a uracil-based adapter switching approach that improves the rate of conversion of source DNA into viable sequencing library fragments following tagmentation, and it has been applied to single-cell whole-genome sequencing (s3-WGS) and to wholegenome plus chromatin conformation (S3-GCC) in human cortical and mouse whole-brain tissues.

ANNOVAR: functional annotation of genetic variants from high-throughput sequencing data
TL;DR: The ANNOVAR tool to annotate single nucleotide variants and insertions/deletions, such as examining their functional consequence on genes, inferring cytogenetic bands, reporting functional importance scores, finding variants in conserved regions, or identifying variants reported in the 1000 Genomes Project and dbSNP is developed.
