Hatzis: Analogy of the bioinformatics challenge - taking a journal, shredding it, and giving you the 'paper chads' #AACR14

Hatzis: 'Analyzing an exome... (is) like reading the Cliff Notes(TM) version of a classic book" #AACR14

11:45am April 5th 2014 via Hootsuite

Hatzis: A range of genomic tools for putative biomarker strategies: WGS, WES, PCR amplicon, RNA-Seq #AACR14

11:39am April 5th 2014 via Hootsuite

Hatzis: Moving from 'compound to trial' to 'biology to trial' paradigm shift #AACR14

11:38am April 5th 2014 via Hootsuite

Next up: C. Hatzis, Yale Cancer Center: "Bioinformatics analysis pipeline for exome sequencing data " #AACR14

11:37am April 5th 2014 via Hootsuite

Mardis: A (con't): Higher coverage for somatic (300x-500x) needed, higher bar for clinical research setting. #AACR14

11:37am April 5th 2014 via Hootsuite

Mardis:Q:Selection of QC metrics? A:Some common tools (@servingscience Qubit), also Agilent for up-front. Downstream: ave 100x #AACR14

11:36am April 5th 2014 via Hootsuite

Mardis:Q: Accuracy of fresh vs. FFPE? A: FFPE can be as good, but barrier to entry is higher for up-front QC. <200bp problematic #AACR14

11:35am April 5th 2014 via Hootsuite

Mardis: RNA / Protein data can provide orthogonal data, enh. precision; long read platforms may permit assembly, not alignment #AACR14

11:33am April 5th 2014 via Hootsuite

Mardis: "Will this ever get easier?" Mfrs providing highly tuned pipelines; cloud- or local pipelines; strengths/weaknesses char'd #AACR14

11:32am April 5th 2014 via Hootsuite

Mardis: FP: one strand, end of read, coverage insuff., pseuogene/paralog (mismapped), too high sensitivity of the caller #AACR14

11:31am April 5th 2014 via Hootsuite

Mardis: Illus. their somatic variant discovery pipeline. FP/FN: most FN's are due to lack of coverage. FP have many sources #AACR14

11:30am April 5th 2014 via Hootsuite

Mardis: Calling SNVs, illustrates the IGV (http://t.co/VfYNXpYo8h), they developed http://t.co/R0l6FJ0Nq3 #AACR14

11:29am April 5th 2014 via Hootsuite

Mardis: Illustrates repetitive elements where reads may map to multiple loc's: dupl. reads, local misalignments, recalc Qv scores #AACR14

11:27am April 5th 2014 via Hootsuite

Mardis: Data alignment is the important first step. Puzzle analogy using 'Bliss'-style graphic #AACR14

11:25am April 5th 2014 via Hootsuite

Mardis: Consensus on Ion: "Low subst. error rate, in/dels problematic, no PE reads" "Inexpensive and fast turnaround" "improv. SW" #AACR14

11:24am April 5th 2014 via Hootsuite

Mardis: Showing @iontorrent PGM & Proton, TP range, 400bp RL's on PGM, mentions Ion Chef, only single-reads #AACR14

11:23am April 5th 2014 via Hootsuite

Mardis: Also feeling that improving kits and SW pipeline #AACR14

11:23am April 5th 2014 via Hootsuite

Mardis: Illumina's offerings, consensus: "high accuracy, range of capacity & TP" "longer RL's on some platforms (MiSeq)" #AACR14

11:22am April 5th 2014 via Hootsuite

Mardis: Ion Torrent incorporation is label-free due to sequential addition of nucleotides #AACR14

11:21am April 5th 2014 via Hootsuite

Mardis: Lays out optical-based NGS: "the S/N will build up"; the limit to readlength. @iontorrent laid out via pH detection #AACR14

11:20am April 5th 2014 via Hootsuite

Mardis: Duplicate reads via PCR can over-represent a false positive, often when low-input, low-complexity sample #AACR14

11:18am April 5th 2014 via Hootsuite

Mardis: Multiplex PCR (@iontorrent AmpliSeq not mentioned), points out PCR-related problems ("jackpotting", FP artifacts, bias) #AACR14

11:16am April 5th 2014 via Hootsuite

Mardis: Reviewed hybrid capture and exome defined. 1.5% of the genome usually covered at 100x; also gene panels #AACR14

11:14am April 5th 2014 via Hootsuite

Mardis: "Digital" readout (as it began from single library molecule), dependent on mapping back to reference. #AACR14

11:12am April 5th 2014 via Hootsuite

Mardis: NGS linker ligation, amplification, coupled detection with incorporation, massively parallel throughput #AACR14

11:10am April 5th 2014 via Hootsuite

Educ Session: "Next Generation Sequencing: from Bench to Bedside". First at #AACR14: Elaine Mardis, WashU: "Next Generation Seq Platforms"
