Abstract
AbstractSummaryExclusion regions are sections of reference genomes with abnormal pileups of short sequencing reads. Removing reads overlapping them improves biological signal, and these benefits are most pronounced in differential analysis settings. Several labs created exclusion region sets, available primarily through ENCODE and Github. However, the variety of exclusion sets creates uncertainty which sets to use. Furthermore, gap regions (e.g., centromeres, telomeres, short arms) create additional considerations in generating exclusion sets. We generated exclusion sets for the latest human T2T-CHM13 and mouse GRCm39 genomes and systematically assembled and annotated these and other sets in theexcluderangesR/Bioconductor data package, also accessible via the BEDbase.org API. The package provides unified access to 82 GenomicRanges objects covering six organisms, multiple genome assemblies and types of exclusion regions. For human hg38 genome assembly, we recommendhg38.Kundaje.GRCh38_unified_blacklistas the most well-curated and annotated, and sets generated by the Blacklist tool for other organisms.Availability and implementationhttps://bioconductor.org/packages/excluderanges/ContactMikhail G.
