A Viral Discovery Methodology for Clinical Biopsy Samples Utilising Massively Parallel Next Generation Sequencing
نویسندگان
چکیده
Here we describe a virus discovery protocol for a range of different virus genera, that can be applied to biopsy-sized tissue samples. Our viral enrichment procedure, validated using canine and human liver samples, significantly improves viral read copy number and increases the length of viral contigs that can be generated by de novo assembly. This in turn enables the Illumina next generation sequencing (NGS) platform to be used as an effective tool for viral discovery from tissue samples.

Tackling formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tumor tissue with next-generation sequencing.
Most tumor samples available for clinical genotyping are formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE), but there has been relatively little published on the suitability of such samples for next-generation sequencing approaches. A new study by Wagle and colleagues shows that a combination of hybridization-capture and deep sequencing yields high-quality data from FFPE specimens.
متن کاملEffect of Next-Generation Exome Sequencing Depth for Discovery of Diagnostic Variants
Sequencing depth, which is directly related to the cost and time required for the generation, processing, and maintenance of next-generation sequencing data, is an important factor in the practical utilization of such data in clinical fields. Unfortunately, identifying an exome sequencing depth adequate for clinical use is a challenge that has not been addressed extensively. Here, we investigat...
متن کاملTitle High-throughput pipeline for de-novo assembly and drug resistance mutations identification from Next-Generation Sequencing viral data of residual diagnostic samples. Authors
Viral infections represent one of the most serious challenges to public health; the high genomic variation expressed by the viral population within an individual patient can lead the drug therapy to failure. Next-generation sequencing enables to identify viral quasi-species and to quantify the minority variants present in clinical samples; therefore it can be of direct benefit in terms of devis...
متن کاملClinical Application of Liquid Biopsy and Mate Pair Next Generation Sequencing for Oropharyngeal Cancer Patients
Oropharyngeal Cancer Patients Sarah Clark Biochemistry, Biology, Chemistry Background: Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) can be distinguished from other cell-free DNA in the body due to its unique mutations. Next generation sequencing and digital PCR have allowed detection of ctDNA to become a more commonly used tool, and because it can be detected directly out of blood, is called the liquid biopsy...
متن کاملMicrobial Contamination in Next Generation Sequencing: Implications for Sequence-Based Analysis of Clinical Samples
The high level of accuracy and sensitivity of next generation sequencing for quantifying genetic material across organismal boundaries gives it tremendous potential for pathogen discovery and diagnosis in human disease. Despite this promise, substantial bacterial contamination is routinely found in existing human-derived RNA-seq datasets that likely arises from environmental sources. This raise...
