Read depth analysis has been proposed as a method for detecting copy number variants from second generation sequence data. However, the resolution of this approach strongly depends on coverage. In particular, the resolution of current single-sample methods may be limited on low-coverage population sequencing projects such as the 1000 genomes project. To overcome this, we extended our previously published algorithm, cnvHap, which learns the local CNV haplotype structure in the entire population, to low-coverage sequence data. We used dense array CGH data collected on Hapmap samples to demonstrate the improvement in resolution available from this approach. We have previously quantified the improvement in CNV genotyping accuracy from integrating multiple genotyping and CGH platforms in a single probabilistic model (cnvHap). In order to investigate whether existing array data can improve CNV genotyping accuracy from low coverage sequence data, we also integrated array and sequence data in our model, and ascertained improvements in CNV genotyping accuracy.
