    We describe the genome sequencing of an anonymous individual of African origin using a novel ligation based sequencing assay that enables a unique form of error correction that improves the raw accuracy of the aligned reads to >99.9% allowing us to accurately call SNPs with as few as 2 reads per allele. We collected several billion mate-pair reads yielding ~18x haploid coverage of aligned sequence and close to 300x clone coverage. Over 98% of the reference genome is covered with at least one uniquely placed read and 99.65% spanned by at least one uniquely placed mate-paired clone. We identify over 3.8 million SNPs, 19% of which are novel. Mate-paired data is used to physically resolve haplotype phases of nearly 2/3 of the genotypes obtained and produce phased segments of up to 210 Kb. We detect 226,529 intra-read indels, 5,590 indels between mate-paired reads, 91 inversions and 4 gene fusions. We use a novel approach for detecting indels between mate-paired reads that are smaller than the standard deviation of the insert size of the library and discover deletions in common with those detected with our intra-read approach. Dozens of previously described disease susceptibility mutations and thousands of novel potentially functional variants, both single-nucleotide and structural, are identified in this individual which suggests a higher than expected load of deleterious variants that can be tolerated in the human genome. There is more genetic variation in the human genome still to be uncovered and we provide guidance for future surveys in populations and cancer biopsies.

    Recent Advances in Sequencing Analysis Tools
    by seqadmin


    The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...

    Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
    by seqadmin




    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...
