  • Allele Frequency Reproducibility: An interesting observation

    Hi All,

    I have got an very interesting observation during troubleshooting of an experiment with patient sample as described below (I would like to have your opinion at each point before moving ahead to next point):

    The experiment is as follows:

    One FFPE and One Germline Sample (In duplicate) total 3 samples libraries have been prepared for targeted BRCA region. Duplicate Germline libraries have been started with same DNA input sample but processed simultaneously for library prep.

    The Observation:
    Say: FFPE as F1 library and
    Germline as G1 and G2 libraries

    FFPE Sample got two unique mutations reported:
    M1 and M2 for example with allele frequencies (34@ and 17%) respectively

    These M1 got 7% Allele frequency in G1 library;
    Query1: What do you thing this could be because of? (Please choose your answer before moving ahead to next sentence).

    Is it from cfDNA that frequency come into G1 library?

    Query2: If YES, but there is no mutation in G2 library although the input DNA was same? How...?

    Is there a contamination of G1 from F1 during library processing?

    Query3: If Yes, But there is no mutation M2 was found in G1 library. They why it is only M1 mutation is there in G1...?


    Guys, please suggest any idea on the hypothesis, what could have gone wrong...? Interesting...!

    Are these three libraries captured by probes? If yes, they captured in one reaction or individually?

      Hi Chenyudr,

      These libraries are PCR based target amplification but UMI based.

        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...
