    ION Proton exome sequencing results (FASTQC report) - typical/OK quality?

    Hi

    I have NGS exome sequencing results (fastq file) and I generated FASTQC report for it, and AFAICS the result looks like sequencing data is suboptimal. I am alien to the field, and would like to get community's opinion on how good/bad/typical the data actually is.

    The lab told they used Ion Proton and followed ACMG standards - no more details, don't know chemistry kit.

    The report below, and thanks in advance.


    FASTQC version 0.11.2
    File type: Conventional base calls
    Encoding: Sanger / Illumina 1.9
    Total Sequences: 33803990
    Sequences flagged as poor quality: 0
    Sequence length: 8-376
    %GC: 48

      Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
      by SEQadmin2


      I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

      Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...

      From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data
      by SEQadmin2


      Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.


      The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
