Porreca: Workflow - the balance between quality and cost of assay. 'More steps = more places to fail' #AGBT

3:16pm February 15th 2014 via Hootsuite

Porreca: In silico validation - can introduce synthetic reads at a certain frequency to test your analysis sensitivity #AGBT

3:16pm February 15th 2014 via Hootsuite

Porreca: Looking at indels, can be very difficult to call. #AGBT

3:15pm February 15th 2014 via Hootsuite

Porreca: Contam. of barcodes - just from a 96-well plate lid being used as a flipped orientation. Trace contam., but detectable #AGBT

3:12pm February 15th 2014 via Hootsuite

Porreca: Barcoding QC - monitoring stock reagents to insure no contamination effects. Does synthetic target sequencing to det error #AGBT14

3:11pm February 15th 2014 via Hootsuite

Porreca: MIP diagrammed, showing data from 2014 Genet Med ref here. http://t.co/mwTfM3B6r1 #AGBT14

3:10pm February 15th 2014 via Hootsuite

Porreca: Did Sanger comparison to their calls; ~7M TN, 4K TP, 8 FP, 1 FN. (Sample had an aneuploidy event, clear upon inspection) #AGBT14

3:08pm February 15th 2014 via Hootsuite

Porreca: Can add to cost / complexity if capture technology isn't always consistent #AGBT14

3:07pm February 15th 2014 via Hootsuite

Porreca: Focus is on accuracy, workflow, and integration. 'Completeness': you have to interogate every site. For CF = all ~550 muts. #AGBT14

3:06pm February 15th 2014 via Hootsuite

Porreca: They use MIP-based target capture for complexity reduction. Tuned to ID different classes of disease-causing muts #AGBT14

3:05pm February 15th 2014 via Hootsuite

Porreca: Uses NGS and other complementary tech for Fragile X, Alpha Thalassemia etc. at Good Start Genetics #AGBT14

3:04pm February 15th 2014 via Hootsuite

Porreca: Accuracy / sensitivity in carrier screening is sensitive to FN's - both partners need positive result to have risk. #AGBT14

3:03pm February 15th 2014 via Hootsuite

MacArthur: For 26K joint-called ones: ave 67 unique SNPs for Mendelian disease pts. Major factor: consistent var calling #AGBT14

2:50pm February 15th 2014 via Hootsuite

MacArthur: NHLBI ESP samples n=6.8k - cp to ave. Mendelian dis. pt., ave 569 unique SNPs. #AGBT14

2:50pm February 15th 2014 via Hootsuite

MacArthur: No can assign a quantitative score to variants in Mendelian patients. #AGBT14

2:49pm February 15th 2014 via Hootsuite

MacArthur: Comparing obs vs. predicted syn muts, missense, LoF variants. Genes ID'd subject to human constraints. LoF depletion #AGBT14

2:48pm February 15th 2014 via Hootsuite

MacArthur: Joint calling smooths batch-to-batch variation; plots Var count / kb; and minor allele count, across 40K exomes #AGBT14

2:45pm February 15th 2014 via Hootsuite

MacArthur: Sort by SNP count by ancestry across 40K - naturally Africans had much higher counts #AGBT14

2:42pm February 15th 2014 via Hootsuite

MacArthur: Raw BAM are ~1PB. Reduced ~1TB, 74K CPU h, 84K h for var calls; some regions req 64GB RAM. VCF's final = 2.35TB. (Whew!) #AGBT14

2:42pm February 15th 2014 via Hootsuite

MacArthur: How 2.6K samples are filtered out. Relatedness of ethnicity plot via geography; strong conc. of European samples. #AGBT14

2:41pm February 15th 2014 via Hootsuite

MacArthur: From 26K pilot to 57K production project finished 2w ago. Of this 40K filtered reported on now (prelim). #AGBT14

2:39pm February 15th 2014 via Hootsuite

MacArthur: Het compression can reduce complexity, just a few synthetic reads. 10x-20x BAM compression; GATK UnifiedGenotyper scales #AGBT14

2:38pm February 15th 2014 via Hootsuite

MacArthur: GATK working on reduced BAMs. IGV shot: Homozygotes can collapse down to a single synthetic meta-read; keep the others #AGBT14

2:37pm February 15th 2014 via Hootsuite

MacArthur: "Can we simultaneously call variants across 10's of thousands of exomes?" 10GB/exome, 'not easily' #AGBT14

2:36pm February 15th 2014 via Hootsuite

MacArthur: 'Technical challenges are substantial' to look at large-scale exome sequencing. Illus. joint calling, FP and FN errors #AGBT14

2:34pm February 15th 2014 via Hootsuite
