  • Deletions detected using Ion PGM not appearing when using Illumina

    Hello

    I was wondering if anyone has encountered the issue described below or maybe able to offer some guidance:

    Using the Ion PGM, Ampliseq Custom panel, we detected a heterozygous 12 bp deletion . In IgV, 150 reads have the deletion and 150 do not. This deletion was confirmed using Sanger sequencing.

    When using this same sample on the NextSeq550 (Sample and library prep was tansposon based NexteraFlex for Enrichment and target enrichment was IdT xGEN research panel probe set) this deletion is seen only 2 times in 80 reads.

    We attempted an alternative target enrichment set, TWIST Human Exome panel with RefSeq spike in, with the same sample and library prep system and once again came up with the same results. To rule out the sample and library prep, we are thinking to attempt this with a different enzyme fragmentation kit.

    From a bioinformatics perspective, Is there a possibility that the reads having the deletions are being filtered out when the fastq files are used to generate bam?

    Thanks

    You don't mention any bioinformatics processes used, so it is impossible to answer your question.

    What you mean is during the read mapping pipeline (FASTQ-> BAM).

    We use NextSeq frequently and I would expect an indel of this size to be reliably detected using either single or paired end reads (PE always better).

      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...
