2:16pm February 14th 2018 via Hootsuite

Erlich: Price/Gb - leveling off in 2010: due to difficulties with the physics of storage. Also digital obsolescence. Ex: 8mm film #AGBT18

1:11pm February 14th 2018 via Hootsuite

Levy: Oversimplifying indexing a bad idea - the indexing hopping problem. Dual indexing - the ideal set, no re-use. 3-6% rates #AGBT18

1:10pm February 14th 2018 via Hootsuite

Levy: 144 samples 4Gb, 45x coverage on S2; 192 samples, S4 10Gb. About $95 sequence cost on S2... #AGBT18

1:09pm February 14th 2018 via Hootsuite

Levy: Future: 96-well plate to 12 hybs, to 2 pools (6 hybs/pool), four pools per S4 flowcell; 10Gb/sample, 100x cov. He did the math #AGBT18

1:08pm February 14th 2018 via Hootsuite

Levy: All typicall 99.5% to 99.8%; not higher due to intronic variants. #AGBT18

1:06pm February 14th 2018 via Hootsuite

Levy: Efficiency was 'strong, a little better with HMW gDNA; Did downsampling to 4, 6, 9 and 15GB datasets. A way to show complexity #AGBT18

1:05pm February 14th 2018 via Hootsuite

Levy: Showed stats - a 500x WES (!), 500M reads/sample. 20% duplicate rate on 10GB; here in the low 20% range still. #AGBT18

1:02pm February 14th 2018 via Hootsuite

Levy: Did see small bias w/FFPE cp to HMW gDNA in indices, but 'still amazingly balanced' 10% for FFPE vs about 13-14% for HMW gDNA #AGBT18

1:00pm February 14th 2018 via Hootsuite

Levy: NovaSeq: 1 lane of S2; XP workflow; 93% bases at >Q30. 1TB run (more than Illumina states). Shows indexing representation #AGBT18

12:59pm February 14th 2018 via Hootsuite

Levy: Had 8 samples x 2; two HapMap samples, 6 germline samples, 4 FFPEs. All run as pools of 8; FFPE pooled with HMW gDNA #AGBT18

12:58pm February 14th 2018 via Hootsuite
