Résumé

To improve the performance of individual DNA sequencing results, researchers often use replicates from the same individual and various statistical clustering models to reconstruct a high-performance callset. Here, three technical replicates of genome NA12878 were considered and five model types were compared (consensus, latent class, Gaussian mixture, Kamila–adapted k-means, and random forest) regarding four performance indicators: sensitivity, precision, accuracy, and F1-score. In comparison with no use of a combination model, i) the consensus model improved precision by 0.1%; ii) the latent class model brought 1% precision improvement (97%–98%) without compromising sensitivity (= 98.9%); iii) the Gaussian mixture model and random forest provided callsets with higher precisions (both >99%) but lower sensitivities; iv) Kamila increased precision (>99%) and kept a high sensitivity (98.8%); it showed the best overall performance. According to precision and F1-score indicators, the compared non-supervised clustering models that combine multiple callsets are able to improve sequencing performance vs. previously used supervised models. Among the models compared, the Gaussian mixture model and Kamila offered non-negligible precision and F1-score improvements. These models may be thus recommended for callset reconstruction (from either biological or technical replicates) for diagnostic or precision medicine purposes.
