sequin

Synthetic RNA/DNA standards for better genome sequencing.

Nice @JAMA_current high-level summary of advances in technology & benchmarking that enable accurate clinical sequencing in many genomic regions and sources of remaining bias by @GoogleAI's Ryan Poplin @MarkDePristo @NIST's Justin Zook https://t.co/WejyprReZ8 1/n

[Genome in a Bottle @GenomeInABottle]

1/n We are excited to make this preprint available about our new small variant benchmarks for the @PGorg Ashkenazi trio (@NIST RM 8392), enabling benchmarking in many difficult-to-map regions, segmental duplications, and genes with pseudogenes or highly homologous genes.

Single molecule spike-in control for NGS studies that can be equivalently and independently synthesized by individual laboratories to provide a common metric by which genomes can be measured. https://t.co/MCiG72tFoN @sequ_in

Please note that due to COVID-19 restrictions, we are currently experiencing delays for the (cryogenic) shipment of RNA sequins.

We are (finally!) releasing V3 of our amplicon protocol today for hCoV-2019, which fixes a few remaining issues with amplicon dropouts.

Please head over to our new forum for further details:

Want to see how good your variant calls are in a variety of repetitive genome contexts in GRCh37 and GRCh38? We just released v2.0 of the stratification bed files from @GA4GH & @GenomeInABottle at https://t.co/yiaz49Fe4h and follow best practices in https://t.co/C2XZuTIhXZ

The prospective clinical MSKCC NGS cohort is now >50,000 samples sequenced. Thanks to the hundreds of physicians, laboratory technicians, data scientists, nurses and support staff @sloan_kettering who have made this initiative possible. A few thoughts on what we have learned.
