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

Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...-
