    Discrepancy between NGS sequence and Sanger sequence of same samples?!

    Hi all,

    I have recently sequenced the exact same sample (within the space of 24 hours) using an ABI 3130 sanger sequencer to sequence a given region as well as by NGS analyses (Nextera PE on a nextseq 500). The sample was a lyophilized live attenuated vaccine (Highly passaged DNA double stranded virus)

    To my surprise (and disappointment), the sequences don't match. I've attached a screenshot of the Sanger sequence aligned to the reference genome. There don't appear to be any peaks under peaks that suggest a heterogenous sample. I've also attached the mapped reads of the Illumina data, and there are no reads that contain the two variations seen in the Sanger data (images below)

    Anyone have any idea about what could be going on?!

    Thanks in advance

    Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.

    Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
    by SEQadmin2


    I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

    Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...
