High confidence copy number variants identified in Holstein dairy cattle from whole genome sequence and genotype array data
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Multiple methods to detect copy number variants (CNV) relying on different types of data have been developed and CNV have been shown to have an impact on phenotypes of numerous traits of economic importance in cattle, such as reproduction and immunity. Further improvements in CNV detection are still needed in regard to the trade-off between high-true and low-false positive variant identification rates. Instead of improving single CNV detection methods, variants can be identified in silico with high confidence when multiple methods and datasets are combined. Here, CNV were identified from whole-genome sequences (WGS) and genotype array (GEN) data on 96 Holstein animals. After CNV detection, two sets of high confidence CNV regions (CNVR) were created that contained variants found in both WGS and GEN data following an animal-based (n = 52) and a population-based (n = 36) pipeline. Furthermore, the change in false positive CNV identification rates using different GEN marker densities was evaluated. The population-based approach characterized CNVR, which were more often shared among animals (average 40% more samples per CNVR) and were more often linked to putative functions (48 vs 56% of CNVR) than CNV identified with the animal-based approach. Moreover, false positive identification rates up to 22% were estimated on GEN information. Further research using larger datasets should use a population-wide approach to identify high confidence CNVR.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
