    Repeating mutations

    Good evening people,

    I am working in a lab where we use S5 IonTorrent sequencer and we are sequencing with Colon and Lung V2 panel different type of samples: colon cancers, lung cancers, ovarian cancer, liver cancer, also we sequenced few samples from buccal swab for experiment. In 80% plus samples sequenced with this NGS panel we detect 4 repeating mutations: FGFR3:1807894 G>A; TP53:7579472 G>C; EGFR:55228053 A>T; EGFR:55249063 G>A. At first we thought it was contamination then we repeat same samples with re isolated DNA and we got same result, also we changed library preparation kit, we also asked for colleagues who used same panel do they get same mutations and they do. After 2 years of sequencing we conclude it is not contamination but something different. Could you, please, give me some information about this issue we have?

    Sincerely AGC team.

    All of these are common variants, see below for allele frequencies from The 1000 Genomes Project. Your frequencies will vary depending on the genetic background of the samples.
    FGFR3:1807894 (rs7688609) G=0.0439 A=0.9561
    TP53:7579472 (rs1042522) G=0.4571 C=0.5429
    EGFR:55228053 (rs1558544) A=0.2266 T=0.7734
    EGFR:55249063 (rs1050171) G=0.5673 A=0.4327

        Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
        by SEQadmin2



        Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

        Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating

        New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
        by SEQadmin2


        Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

        We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing
