  • Allele frequency discrepancies in Illumina data?

    Dear forum members,

    We are using the TST-15 Illumina panel and occasionally detect variant frequencies that appear not to be of biological relevance. I.e. frequencies in the range of 60-90%. A simple calculation should give a maximum of 50% frequency when having pure tumor cells due to the wild type allele.

    Such discrepancies between tumor cell content and variant frequencies we observe both for deletions and single base mutations. (example in attachment shows deletion with frequency of almost 80%)

    What is your opinion concerning these issues, PCR bias so on and so forth?

    Any input is appreciated.

    Advanced Tools Transforming the Field of Cytogenomics
    by seqadmin


    At the intersection of cytogenetics and genomics lies the exciting field of cytogenomics. It focuses on studying chromosomes at a molecular scale, involving techniques that analyze either the whole genome or particular DNA sequences to examine variations in structure and behavior at the chromosomal or subchromosomal level. By integrating cytogenetic techniques with genomic analysis, researchers can effectively investigate chromosomal abnormalities related to diseases, particularly...

    How RNA-Seq is Transforming Cancer Studies
    by seqadmin



    Cancer research has been transformed through numerous molecular techniques, with RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) playing a crucial role in understanding the complexity of the disease. Maša Ivin, Ph.D., Scientific Writer at Lexogen, and Yvonne Goepel Ph.D., Product Manager at Lexogen, remarked that “The high-throughput nature of RNA-seq allows for rapid profiling and deep exploration of the transcriptome.” They emphasized its indispensable role in cancer research, aiding in biomarker...
