  • Panel Validation using NA12878 DNA

    Hi there,

    we have made a panel that comprises several (190) exonic alterations and now we want to test how capable are we to call these variants starting from a DNA sample. This post is for retrieve suggestions about how can we do this and/or to know if my approach is not correct.

    Basically what I have been thinking about is purchasing NA12878 DNA from Coriell Institute, sequencing it and running a variant calling pipeline (without going into details, mapping vs GRCh37 and call variants with mpileup). Once I have the variants, check them vs the high-confidence calls set focusing on my 190 exonic alterations and if the alleles matches at these positions would mean that we call these variants correctly.

    Is this a correct way?

    Previously, aiming to evaluate just the bioinformatic pipeline and not the laboratory part, I did the same analysis with the GIAB NA12878 dataset (HiSeq x300) and checked the output variants with this callset ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/giab/ftp/...ransfer.vcf.gz available at the GIAB ftp site. Previously I normalized the variants representation of both calls sets using *vcflib vcfallelicprimitives*.

    And a last question. For my validation purpose, is there any difference between purchasing the NIST reference DNA and purchasing the Coriell Institute DNA Sample? I think it's the same, but look the difference in prices...

    Any suggestion will be welcome

    Improved Targeted Sequencing: A Comprehensive Guide to Amplicon Sequencing
    by seqadmin



    Amplicon sequencing is a targeted approach that allows researchers to investigate specific regions of the genome. This technique is routinely used in applications such as variant identification, clinical research, and infectious disease surveillance. The amplicon sequencing process begins by designing primers that flank the regions of interest. The DNA sequences are then amplified through PCR (typically multiplex PCR) to produce amplicons complementary to the targets. RNA targets...

    Targeted Sequencing: Choosing Between Hybridization Capture and Amplicon Sequencing
    by seqadmin




    Targeted sequencing is an effective way to sequence and analyze specific genomic regions of interest. This method enables researchers to focus their efforts on their desired targets, as opposed to other methods like whole genome sequencing that involve the sequencing of total DNA. Utilizing targeted sequencing is an attractive option for many researchers because it is often faster, more cost-effective, and only generates applicable data. While there are many approaches...
