6:34pm March 3rd 2015 via Twitter Web Client

BS:100K/year, thruput needs to increase; compared manual and auto. AmpliSeq on Ion Chef. 93% uniformity and 97% on-target for both #AGBT15

6:34pm March 3rd 2015 via Twitter Web Client

BS:NIST rev 2.18 NA12878 Genome in a Bottle (http://t.co/t9s5wLIKUC) Also put into low-complexity domains affecting stats #AGBT15

6:34pm March 3rd 2015 via Twitter Web Client

BS:Seen strong improvements in moving to Hi-Q chemistry. 4% improvement in sensitivity, 5% increase in PPV. 'Impressive'. #AGBT15

6:34pm March 3rd 2015 via Twitter Web Client

BS: And 90.2% uniformity. 12-plex gives them 200-250x coverage. 'Pretty sweet data for such a highly multiplexed assay' #AGBT15

6:34pm March 3rd 2015 via Twitter Web Client

BS: 275bp inserts along with 100bp peaks - they wanted full-length exons as well as hotspots, bimodal distribution. 96.2% on-target #AGBT15

6:34pm March 3rd 2015 via Twitter Web Client

BS:'On-target and uniformity remains high despite panel diversity' - the 'performance has been amazing for us'. #AGBT15

6:33pm March 3rd 2015 via Twitter Web Client

BS: Their 13 number they are confident about. Now they need to recruit samples; e-consent process w/at-home collection kit #AGBT15

6:33pm March 3rd 2015 via Twitter Web Client

BS:Retrospective view: of 600K samples w/exome datasets, found 13 potential resilient samples. But poor data quality a problem #AGBT15

6:33pm March 3rd 2015 via Twitter Web Client

BS:Has pie-chart of types of conditions (cardiovascular, cancer, PGx, Mendelian...) Project homepage: http://t.co/H8wjvD8Htd #AGBT15

6:33pm March 3rd 2015 via Twitter Web Client

BS: Individuals w/mutation w/o symptoms - naturally resilient, could give impt clues into researching disease #AGBT15

6:33pm March 3rd 2015 via Twitter Web Client

BS: Developed a 25K AmpliSeq panel, for 750 disease-related genes; >4K disease-ass'd genomics hotspots; total 4.4MB target #AGBT15

6:33pm March 3rd 2015 via Twitter Web Client

BS: @icahninstitute take integrated DNA and RNA seq approach; 10 Protons, 3 PGMs, other platforms incl microarray #AGBT15
