  • Webinar-Unravelling complex mutational events in clinical cases using NGS analysis

    Live webinar on Unravelling complex mutational events in clinical cases using the power of Next generation sequencing data analysis by Dr Satish Sankaran on 31 Jan 2018 at 9am CET and 8am PST

    Speaker: Dr. Satish Sankaran, Vice President and Lab Director- Clinical Operations and Clinical Lab, Strand Life Sciences

    Abstract: Next Generation sequencing has come a long way in aiding genetic disease diagnosis by bringing down both the time and cost of testing. Testing involves massively parallel sequencing of a single to 100s of genes in a one assay. With a large amount of sequence data getting generated from such assays, it is critical that the data is analyzed using standard analysis tools to detect wide range of variants. Strand Life Sciences, has tested more than 3000 clinical samples using multi-gene panels for diagnosis of rare disease conditions. NGS data analysis is done using the Strand NGS software and variant prioritization and reporting using StrandOMICS.

    While most analysis software can easily detect single nucleotide variants, the complex ones involving insertions and deletions are usually missed. With multiple iterations the Strand NGS software is trained to effectively detect structural and copy number changes from a single NGS data set. This is critical in certain disease conditions like Retinoblastoma and Duchenne’s Muscular Dystrophy where there are clinically relevant deletions reported.

    In this presentation, we present four different case studies where we were able to detect mutations due to unusual and difficult regions in the genome from the NGS data. These results were further confirmed using orthologous methods.

    Session 1: 31 Jan 2017; 9:00 AM CET
    Session 2: 31 Jan 2017; 8:00 AM PST

    Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
    by seqadmin


    Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
