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

09-11-2018, 11:00 AM

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

Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems

by SEQadmin2

Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

Cancer Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival

by SEQadmin2

Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.

There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...

Reply to Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing

by GATTACAT

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.
