QuickDeconvolution: fast and scalable deconvolution of linked-reads sequencing data
Résumé
Linked reads technologies, such as the 10X chromium system, use microfluidics to tag multiple short reads coming from the same long (50-200 kbp) fragment with a small sequence, called barcode. They are cheap and easy to prepare. The fact that reads with the same barcode come from the same fragment of the genome is extremely rich in information and can be used in a myriad of software. However, the same barcode may be used several times for several different fragments, complicating the analyses. Here we present QuickDeconvolution (QD), a new software capable of deconvoluting a set of reads sharing a barcode, i.e. telling separating reads coming from the different fragments. QD only takes as input the sequencing data, without the need for a reference genome. Compared to existing software, we show on made-up examples that QuickDeconvolution is more precise and faster than existing software, especially with many threads. More importantly, it is more scalable and therefore capable of deconvolving datasets that were inaccessible to previous software. We demonstrate here the first example in the literature of a successfully deconvolved animal genome, a Drosophila melanogaster dataset of 33 Gbp.
