Outline: Amplicon sequencing What is meant? How large are your amplicons? Plasmid inserts When would you do it? Scale Coverage Cost What do you give to MGC? Primers to use Turn around time Targeted exome sequencing A special case of amplicon sequencing Combining gene lists

What is meant by amplicon sequencing? Can sequence essentially any type of DNA PCR amplicons Fragments of any size DNA Plasmid insert, or whole plasmids

When should you choose NGS to sequence your amplicons? or When does NGS make more sense than Sanger sequencing? Labor Cost

For most cases, we will be sequencing a set of amplicons Can multiplex, in parallel Rather than many individual PCR reactions If done as part of kit, then no individual purification steps Can easily design probes using Illumina’s DesignStudio website Example of 7, 14 & 37 genes

Generally, for targeted sequencing will aim for an average of 100x. This will ensure that almost every base is covered fold

How many amplicons can be sequenced per run? Can be adapted to scale of project Depends on size of amplicons

Costs of sequencing kits Scalable Cost of sequencing per base drops dramatically

What is the turn around time? for sample sequencing 1-2 days for library construction 1-2 days for sequencing for data processing? 2-3 days for alignment and output Output will be the equivalent of a.vcf file Tells you what differs from expected Need to provide target sequences

When does it make sense to combine lists between investigators?

For example: Dr. A has 48 samples, each with 7 genes Dr. B has 48 samples, each with 7 genes If run alone, each would pay $7,484. If designed and run together, each would pay $8,035/2 = $4,018 If they each had 96 samples, each with 7 genes, then they each would pay $14,773/2 = $7,387

What are costs for other types of amplicon sequencing? Only library construction costs listed here Need to add sequencing cost, depending on scale Custom PCR products $10/sample if primers are modified with adaptor $30/sample if using standard primers Plasmids Depending on size of insert, will probably sequence the entire plasmid $30/sample

Summary Sequencing amplicons using NGS can be a good alternative to Sanger sequencing if the scale is large enough. Can save both time and money. PCR amplicons and targeted exome sequencing are both on the continuum of amplicon sequencing. Rapid turn-around time I have provided templates for calculating coverage and sequencing costs. May make sense to combine amplicon sequencing with another investigator.
