.@markgenome So nice to hear of the awesome work with cancer variant curation being done at @jacksonlab here at #tricon

Ortmann: Will need at least a 2-year leadtime for global launches. Pharma starts 4y before. #tricon

8:29pm February 23rd 2017 via Hootsuite

Ortmann: Country-wide implementation: Q’s Marketing and Sales presence worldwide, and need for personnel in Japan, China #tricon

8:28pm February 23rd 2017 via Hootsuite

Ortmann: The scope of CDx launch activities driven by pharma from a shopping list. Medical communication, KOL plan etc #tricon

8:26pm February 23rd 2017 via Hootsuite

#TriCon @QIAGEN Reinhard Ortmann directs CDx, points out launching a CDx is more than std IVD launch.

8:24pm February 23rd 2017 via Hootsuite

Well #tricon no power plugs in Moscone South=I’ll be off of Twitter, as I hate typing on glass slabs. But @qiagen on CDx is a nice talk!

Daber: Shows TP53 error rate on a per-base position along the gene - varies from 1% to no error at all. Plot of smple vs smple: no! #Tricon

8:02pm February 23rd 2017 via Hootsuite

Daber: People are now running parallel assays, but not getting reimbursed, to get the lower AFs. Are all regions sequenced equally? #Tricon

8:01pm February 23rd 2017 via Hootsuite

Daber: Pushing the LoD, '12 AFs were about 20%; in '17, 5% achievable. "Only w/custom algorithms can lower AF's be obtained" #Tricon

8:00pm February 23rd 2017 via Hootsuite

Daber: Showed deletion specificity by AF and length, ioptimizing from 1, 2-5, 6-10, 11-25, 25-50, 51-100bp bins #Tricon

7:58pm February 23rd 2017 via Hootsuite

Daber: FISH, IHC, NGS; also NGS technical challenges. Single gene assays <1%; challenging indels. Try to push a pipeline via sandbox #Tri

7:57pm February 23rd 2017 via Hootsuite

Daber: ImmunoRx - has different technologies dep on the drug; some NGS methods that may evolve for this #Tricon

7:56pm February 23rd 2017 via Hootsuite

Daber: On solid tumor, not a whole lot of change from '14 to '16. Mainly PD-1 that has changed for melanoma #Tricon

Mockus: 2nd need is guidelines ofr interpretation (actionability) - but what does that include? #Tricon

7:28pm February 23rd 2017 via Hootsuite

Mockus: First need: nomenclature - SNV, SNP, Ins, Del, indel, dup. It can be an accounting problem (+/- strands etc) #Tricon

7:27pm February 23rd 2017 via Hootsuite

Mockus: How to find which somatic var's important? 400 gene panel may have 2000 var's, 300 protein, 25 db mapped, 3-5 'actionable' #Tricon
