Lin: Can get good germline data from saliva, with their bacterial DNA informatics filtering. #NGDx15

Lin: Macro-dissection is important - removal of as much normal tissue as possible. ("Not micro-dissecting, yet") #NGDx15

8:49am August 18th 2015 via Hootsuite

Lin: Mark Raffeld, Liqiang Xi, Keith Killian acknowledged for their work here. (Good people I know at the NCI.) #NGDx15

Lin: Tissue: optimize extraction, path review, macro-dissect, track sample, integrate into IT and EMR systems, transport #NGDx15

Lin: They work closely with pathology for the right tissue. "Doesn't help if you sequence all you want and you had the wrong tissue' #NGDx15

Lin: PDXs are sequenced again (exome and panel, also RNA-seq). Workflow covers tissue proc, wet lab, IT, Bifx, clinical, protocol. #NGDx15

8:45am August 18th 2015 via Hootsuite

Lin: 2 db's - a research clinomics, another clinical EMR. Biopsies: Most is FFPE, used for both DNA, RNA; fresh tissue goes to PDX #NGDx15

8:44am August 18th 2015 via Hootsuite

Lin: Omics goes to research data, germline data, and somatic data. 2 separate tumor boards: one to sign out, another to decide care #NGDx15

Lin:Plasma for ctDNA, urine for add'l biomarkers. Workflow of patents are on two different protocols - 'Omics' and 'Precision Rx' #NGDx15

Lin: 'We use a lot of DNA, RNA' - and sure that in a few years much less will be needed; importance of biobanking of tissues, smpls #NGDx15

8:41am August 18th 2015 via Hootsuite

Lin: Also pt-derived tumor models (patient-derived xenografts, PDX), and biobanking, tissue repository of tumor, germline #NGDx15

Lin: Leaders at CCR (NCI), Paul Meltzer and Javed Khan for Clinical Omics program: clin platform; research (RNA and methylation) #NGDx15

Lin: Starts with a story about designing >10K primers and seeing many failures at Hopkins. Now WES for patients 'is routine' #NGDx15
