    PubMed: Sequence and structural variation in a human genome uncovered by short-read,

    Related Articles Sequence and structural variation in a human genome uncovered by short-read, massively parallel ligation sequencing using two base encoding.

    Genome Res. 2009 Jun 22;

    We describe the genome sequencing of an anonymous individual of African origin using a novel ligation based sequencing assay that enables a unique form of error correction that improves the raw accuracy of the aligned reads to >99.9% allowing us to accurately call SNPs with as few as 2 reads per allele. We collected several billion mate-pair reads yielding ~18x haploid coverage of aligned sequence and close to 300x clone coverage. Over 98% of the reference genome is covered with at least one uniquely placed read and 99.65% spanned by at least one uniquely placed mate-paired clone. We identify over 3.8 million SNPs, 19% of which are novel. Mate-paired data is used to physically resolve haplotype phases of nearly 2/3 of the genotypes obtained and produce phased segments of up to 210 Kb. We detect 226,529 intra-read indels, 5,590 indels between mate-paired reads, 91 inversions and 4 gene fusions. We use a novel approach for detecting indels between mate-paired reads that are smaller than the standard deviation of the insert size of the library and discover deletions in common with those detected with our intra-read approach. Dozens of previously described disease susceptibility mutations and thousands of novel potentially functional variants, both single-nucleotide and structural, are identified in this individual which suggests a higher than expected load of deleterious variants that can be tolerated in the human genome. There is more genetic variation in the human genome still to be uncovered and we provide guidance for future surveys in populations and cancer biopsies.

    16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?
    by SEQadmin2




    NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification, detection...

    Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
    by SEQadmin2



    Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

    Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating
