Does anyone have any suggestions about how to filter out the mis-called variants on Nextseq? Also, has anyone used the v2 kits? Is the fidelity significantly improved?

Thank you. We are anxious to see if we can improve the reliability of our Nextseq data. Our group at the National Cancer Institute is attempting to identify mutated gene products expressed in cancer cells that can be recognized by patient immune cells that will allow us to develop effective cancer therapies. We purchased a Nextseq because we needed to get our data quickly in order to develop treatments for patients with advanced cancer, and we have already identified many targets using this approach. Enhancing the accuracy of the variant calls would make this process simpler, as it would help to eliminate many of the false positives. Some of these are easy to identify as they appear in repeated tumor samples - I presume these are regions of the genome that are difficult to sequence. We also merge whole exome with RNAseq, which helps to validate the calls.

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...-

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...-
