  • PubMed: Massive parallel amplicon sequencing of the breast cancer genes BRCA1 and BRC

    Massive parallel amplicon sequencing of the breast cancer genes BRCA1 and BRCA2: opportunities, challenges, and limitations.

    This study describes how the new massive parallel sequencing technology can be implemented in a diagnostic setting for the breast cancer susceptibility genes (BRCA1 and BRCA2). The throughput was maximized by increasing uniformity in coverage, obtained by a multiplex approach, which outperformed pooling of singleplex PCRs. We evaluated the sensitivity by analysis of 133 distinct sequence variants; three (2%) deletions or duplications in homopolymers of greater than or equal to seven nucleotides remained undetected, illustrating a limitation of pyrosequencing. Furthermore, other limitations like nonrandom sequencing errors, pseudogene amplification, and failure to detect multiexon deletions are thoroughly described. Our workflow illustrates the potential of massive parallel sequencing of large genes in a diagnostic setting, which is of great importance to meet the increasing expectations of genetic testing. Implementation of this approach will hopefully lead to a strong reduction in turnaround times. As a consequence a wider spectrum of at risk women will be able to benefit from therapeutic interventions and prophylactic interventions. Hum Mutat 31:1-10, 2011. © 2011 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Best Practices for Single-Cell Sequencing Analysis
    by seqadmin



    While isolating and preparing single cells for sequencing was historically the bottleneck, recent technological advancements have shifted the challenge to data analysis. This highlights the rapidly evolving nature of single-cell sequencing. The inherent complexity of single-cell analysis has intensified with the surge in data volume and the incorporation of diverse and more complex datasets. This article explores the challenges in analysis, examines common pitfalls, offers...
