Abstract
INTRODUCTION Whole-genome sequencing using nanopore technologies can uncover structural variants, which are DNA rearrangements larger than 50 base pairs. Nanopore technologies can also characterize their boundaries with single-base accuracy, owing to the kilobase-long reads that encompass either full variants or their junctions. Other methods, such as next-generation short read sequencing or PCR assays, are limited in their capabilities to detect or characterize structural variants. However, the existing software for nanopore sequencing data analysis still reports incomplete variant sets, which also contain erroneous calls, a considerable obstacle for the molecular diagnosis or accurate genotyping of populations. METHODS We compared multiple factors affecting variant calling, such as reference genome version, aligner (minimap2, NGMLR, and lra) choice, and variant caller combinations (Sniffles, CuteSV, SVIM, and NanoVar), to find the optimal group of tools for calling large (>50 kb) deletions and duplications, using data from seven patients exhibiting gross gene defects on SERPINC1 and from a reference variant set as the control. The goal was to obtain the most complete, yet reasonably specific group of large variants using a single cell of PromethION sequencing, which yielded lower depth coverage than short-read sequencing. We also used a custom method for the statistical analysis of the coverage value to refine the resulting datasets. RESULTS We found that for large deletions and duplications (>50 kb), the existing software performed worse than for smaller ones, in terms of both sensitivity and specificity, and newer tools had not improved this. Our novel software, disCoverage, could polish variant callers' results, improving specificity by up to 62% and sensitivity by 15%, the latter requiring other data or samples. CONCLUSION We analyzed the current situation of >50-kb copy number variants with nanopore sequencing, which could be improved. The methods presented in this work could help to identify the known deletions and duplications in a set of patients, while also helping to filter out erroneous calls for these variants, which might aid the efforts to characterize a not-yet well-known fraction of genetic variability in the human genome.

Abstract
We report on the activities of the 2015 edition of the BioHackathon, an annual event that brings together researchers and developers from around the world to develop tools and technologies that promote the reusability of biological data. We discuss issues surrounding the representation, publication, integration, mining and reuse of biological data and metadata across a wide range of biomedical data types of relevance for the life sciences, including chemistry, genotypes and phenotypes, orthology and phylogeny, proteomics, genomics, glycomics, and metabolomics. We describe our progress to address ongoing challenges to the reusability and reproducibility of research results, and identify outstanding issues that continue to impede the progress of bioinformatics research. We share our perspective on the state of the art, continued challenges, and goals for future research and development for the life sciences Semantic Web.
