Abstract

To analyze the next generation sequencing data, the so-called read depth signal is often segmented with standard segmentation tools. However, these tools usually assume the signal to be a piecewise constant signal and contaminated with zero mean Gaussian noise, and therefore modeling error occurs. This paper models the read depth signal with piecewise Poisson distribution, which is more appropriate to the next generation sequencing mechanism. Based on the proposed model, an opti- mal dynamic programming algorithm with parallel computing is proposed to segment the piecewise signal, and furthermore detect the copy number variation.
