Amongst the datasets obtained from the Illumina sequencers, the percentage of correct SNP calls was higher for the MiSeq (76%) than the GAIIx (70%) data than for that obtained from the HiSeq (69%), despite the same libraries being run on both MiSeq and HiSeq. Use of next-generation sequencing to detect somatic variants in DNA extracted from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tumor tissues poses a challenge for clinical molecular diagnostic laboratories because of variable DNA quality and quantity, and the potential to detect low allele frequency somatic variants difficult to verify by non–next-generation sequencing methods. Each of the strains used here had a known covalent base modification genotype, which was confirmed by PacBio sequencing. We counted the number of bases in the genome that were not covered by any reads (Coverage = 0) and those with less than 5x read coverage (Coverage <5x). PacBio have developed a process enabling single molecule real time (SMRT) sequencing [2]. A tale of three next generation sequencing platforms: comparison of Ion Torrent, Pacific Biosciences and Illumina MiSeq sequencers By Quail Michael A, Smith Miriam, Coupland Paul, Otto Thomas D, Harris Simon R, Connor Thomas R, Bertoni Anna, Swerdlow Harold P and Gu Yong Conversely, the rate of false SNP calls was higher with Ion Torrent data than for Illumina data (Figure 5B). (XLS 53 KB), Additional file 5: Table S6: SNP detection statistics for, http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0. The Illumina Genome Analyzer and more recently the HiSeq 2000 have set the standard for high throughput massively parallel sequencing, but in 2011 Illumina released a lower throughput fast-turnaround instrument, the MiSeq, aimed at smaller laboratories and the clinical diagnostic market. The pace of change in this area is rapid with three major new sequencing platforms having been released in 2011: Ion Torrent’s PGM, Pacific Biosciences’ RS and the Illumina MiSeq. The error rate is calculated as the per-base error within a mapped region divided by the total mapped bases in that region. As the median length of the PacBio subreads for this data set are just 600 bases, we compared their coverage with an equivalent amount of in silico filtered reads of >620 bases. Sheared DNA was purified by binding to 0.6X volume of pre-washed AMPure XP beads (Beckman Coulter Inc.), as per PacBio protocol 000-710-821-DRAFT (five times in purified water, one time in EB, reconstituted in original supernatant) and eluted in EB to >60 ng/μl. 10.1038/nrg2484. C) Example of strand specific deletions (red circles) observed in Ion Torrent data. Therefore, avoidance of library amplification and/or emPCR, or use of more faithful enzymes during emPCR, may eliminate the bias. A global network for investigating the genomic epidemiology of malaria. Efficient and accurate whole genome assembly and methylome profiling of E. coli. Article  A) View of the first 200 kb of chromosome 11. Additionally, we observed strand-specific errors in the PGM data but were unable to associate these with any obvious motif (Figure 4C). Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. SNPs were called using the default parameters for SAMtools mpileup followed by bcftools and the SAMtools vcfutils.pl varFilter script, as described on the SAMtools webpage (http://samtools.sourceforge.net/mpileup.shtml). Supporting: 34, Disputing: 3, Mentioning: 1045 - BackgroundNext generation sequencing (NGS) technology has revolutionized genomic and genetic research. A) The percentage of the P. falciparum genome covered at different read depths. SNP detection was performed using a random selection of reads to give an average depth of coverage of 15x for all platforms, except PacBio where this coverage depth was insufficient and the full dataset representing 190x coverage was used. B). (DOC 126 KB), Additional file 2: Figure S1: Comparison of the outcome of sequencing using libraries prepared using enzymatic shearing (green line) and physical shearing (blue line) on the Ion Torrent PGM. Sequencing technology is evolving rapidly and during the course of 2011 several new sequencing platforms were released. The two sequencing platforms we used in this study (MiSeq and PGM) are both suitable to be used as an HPV genotyping test Table 7. In order to sequence monotemplates (where most sequenceable fragments have exactly the same sequence), it is often necessary to significantly dilute or mix the sample with a complex genomic library to enable registration of clusters. Bioinformatics. 2009, 25 (14): 1754-1760. Nextera uses a transposon to shear genomic DNA and simultaneously introduce adapter sequences [6]. C) Sequence representation vs. GC-content plots. Blunt adapters were ligated before exonuclease incubation was carried out in order to remove all un-ligated adapters and DNA. 2010, 192 (3): 888-892. The methods used to sequence the genomes of P. falciparum[14] and S. aureus TW20 [29] have been published. For any particular application using a specific sequencing method, optimisation of the SNP- and indel-calling algorithm would always be recommended. The datasets generated were mapped to the corresponding reference genome as described in Methods. Primary filtering analysis was performed on the Blade Center server provided with the RS instrument, before this data was transferred off the Blade Center for secondary analysis in SMRT Portal using the SMRT analysis pipeline version 1.2.0.1.81002.

A tale of three next generation sequencing platforms: comparison of Ion Torrent, Pacific Biosciences and Illumina MiSeq sequencers. If bases of that type are incorporated, protons are released and a signal is detected proportional to the number of bases incorporated. Figure S3. In addition to this being a strand-specific issue, it appears that this is a read-specific phenomenon. The previously published BL21(DE3) genome [GenBank:AM946981.2], allowed us to evaluate the accuracy of each of the BL21(DE3) assemblies. The Binding Complex can be stored as a long-term storage mix at −20°C or diluted for immediate sequencing. 10.1038/nature07488. In order to create a fair comparison we initially used the same randomly normalized 15x datasets used in our analysis of genome coverage, which according to the literature [3] is sufficient to accurately call heterozygous variants but found that that was insufficient for the PacBio datasets where a 190x coverage was used. Longer reads are particularly useful when sequencing through complex genomic regions such as repeats and phages. Google ScholarÂ. DNA fragments with specific adapter sequences are linked to and then clonally amplified by emulsion PCR on the surface of 3-micron diameter beads, known as Ion Sphere Particles. Shao NY, Hu HY, Yan Z, Xu Y, Hu H, Menzel C, Li N, Chen W, Khaitovich P: Comprehensive survey of human brain microRNA by deep sequencing. The PacBio platform, by virtue of its long read lengths, should however have application in de novo sequencing and may also benefit analysis of linkage of alternative splicing and in of variants across long amplicons. 2010, 7 (6): 461-465. We used P. falciparum to analyse the effect of read length versus mappability. BWA [30] was used for mapping reads from the Illumina GAIIx, MiSeq and HiSeq. To process large numbers of samples quickly, a facility’s instrument base must be large enough to avoid sample backlogs. Bordetella pertussis ST24 genomic DNA was a gift from Craig Cummings, Stanford University School of Medicine, CA. Article  10.1016/S0140-6736(06)68231-7. The most dramatic observation from our results was the severe bias seen when sequencing the extremely AT-rich genome of P. falciparum on the PGM. The DNA-input requirements of PacBio can be prohibitory. The short average subread length is due to preferential loading of short fragment constructs in the library and the effect of lag time (non-imaged bases) after sequencing initiation, the latter resulting in sequences near the beginning of library constructs not being reported. A tale of three next generation sequencing platforms: comparison of Ion torrent, pacific biosciences and illumina MiSeq sequencers (Advanced). Here we evaluate the output of these new sequencing platforms and compare them with the data obtained from the Illumina HiSeq and GAIIx platforms. Using paired reads on the Illumina MiSeq, however, gave a strong positive effect, with 1.1% more coverage being observed from paired-end reads compared to single-end reads. Ion Sphere Particle quality assessment was carried out as outlined in an earlier version of this protocol (Part Number 4467389 Rev. We sequence many isolates of the malaria parasite P. falciparum as it represents a significant health issue in developing countries; this organism leads to several million deaths per annum. SFilter.1.xml was used for filtering with a minimum allowed read length of 50 bases and a minimum read quality of 0.75 (on a PacBio-developed scale specific to RS-generated reads).

The use of Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technologies enables sequencing of multiple cancer-driving genes … Accuracy of SNP detection from the S. aureus datasets generated from each platform, compared against the reference genome of its close relative S . Google ScholarÂ. To quantify errors associated with specific motifs, we took the fastq file and searched all the reads for the presence of that motif. B) and Torrent Suite 1.5 was used for all analyses. Additional file 1: Table S1: Statistics for Illumina Sequencing Runs. 2009, 10 (1): 57-63. As reads are randomly allocated evaluation of uniformity of coverage was based on cumulative distributions over the overall average depth. We observed error rates of below 0.4% for the Illumina platforms, 1.78% for Ion Torrent and 13% for PacBio sequencing (Table 1). Nat Rev Genet. The aligned error rate for data generated on the different sequencing platforms was taken from the report generated by the program SMALT [9], after aligning the S. aureus dataset against its reference sequence. A) Illustration of errors in Illumina data after a long homopolymer tract. The Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent Technologies) and the associated High Sensitivity DNA kit (Agilent Technologies) were used to determine quality and concentration of the libraries. Current PacBio protocols favor the preferential loading of smaller constructs, resulting in average subread lengths that are significantly shorter than the often quoted average read lengths. Staphylococcus aureus TW20 genomic DNA was a gift from Jodi Lindsay, St George’s Hospital Medical School, University of London. Nature. End-repair, A-tailing and paired-end adapter ligation were performed (as per the protocols supplied by Illumina, Inc. using reagents from New England Biolabs- NEB) with purification using a 1.5:1 ratio of standard Ampure to sample between each enzymatic reaction. 2008, 456 (7221): 464-469. Of the four genomes sequenced, the P. falciparum genome is the largest and most complex and contains a significant quantity of repetitive sequences. BMC Genomics 2012, Nature. Whilst there is a quality drop in the first read following these GC-rich motifs, there is a striking loss of quality in read 2, where the reads have nearly half the mean quality value compared to the read 1 reads for GC-rich triplets that follow the GGC motif. 10.1073/pnas.1017351108. All three fast turnaround sequencers evaluated here were able to generate usable sequence. Science. The PGM gave very biased coverage when sequencing the extremely AT-rich P. falciparum genome (Figure 1). True SNPs are those that agree with the SNPs found in this reference set. Nat Biotechnol 30: 434–439. 2011, 29 (11): 1024-1027. 2008, 456 (7223): 732-737. D) Example of intergenic region between genes PF3D7_1104200 and PF3D7_1104300. In order to control for the effects of software-specific mis-mapping, we identified and removed from our alignment regions sequences corresponding to mobile genetic elements (MGEs) in the S. aureus USA300_FPR3757 genome, along with regions with no homologue in S. aureus. Whilst manufacturers may state library prep times on the order of a couple of hours, these times don’t include upfront QC and library QC and quantification. 1 μg of sheared DNA was end-repaired using the PacBio DNA Template Prep Kit 1.0 (Part Number 001-322-716) and incubated for 15 min at 25°C prior to another 0.6X AMPure XP clean up, eluting in 30 μl EB. 10.1093/bioinformatics/btr703. volume 13, Article number: 341 (2012) To analyse the uniformity of coverage across the genome we tabulated the depth of coverage seen at each position of the genome. statement and Variant calling from Pacific Biosciences data was possible but higher coverage depth was required. Long-term storage mixes were diluted to the required concentration and volume with the provided dilution buffer and loaded into 96-well plates. All datasets have been deposited in the ENA read archive under accession number ERP001163. 10.1093/bioinformatics/btq665. 2010, 7 (2): 130-132.
