1 STEPHANIE I. FRALEY, PH.D. ASSISTANT PROFESSOR BIOENGINEERING, UC SAN DIEGO ENABLING ACCESSIBLE AND SENSITIVE SEQUENCE PROFILING FOR SYSTEMS MEDICINE Disclosure: The technology presented is patented, and I am an inventor on the patents.

2 SYSTEMS MEDICINE Major goals: Make blood a diagnostic window of health & disease Provide deep insights into disease mechanisms in patient-specific contexts Mandates: Develop technologies to explore patient’s data space in new dimensions Democratize data-generation & analysis tools Leroy Hood & Mauricio Flores, New Biotechnology 29, 2012.

3 TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT Need to measure rapidly and often in humans Reduced cost, effort, & time to profile Portability for broad access Time-course readouts to understand disease processes Low level regulators critical to biological meta-stability & contribute to diversity 1,2 Higher sensitivity and quantitative power than sequencing & microarrays Many applications have no need to re-sequence As de-novo sequencing discovers & catalogs all sequence possibilities, profiling can play a larger and larger role 1. M.B. Elowitz, et.al., Science 297, 2002. 2. J.L. Spudich & D.E. Koshland. Nature 262, 1976.

4 BACTERIAL INFECTIONS & SEPSIS Hourly mortality risk increase Polymicrobial risk higher Incorrect treatment Antibiotic resistance Spread Biothreat Host-Pathogen system- specific responses

5 IDEAL PROFILING TECHNOLOGY FOR DYNAMIC SYSTEMS MEDICINE Broad-based Identify each individual sequence present sensitively & specifically Absolute quantitative power Rapid User-independent identification Today’s sequencing Sensitivity-specificity trade-off Speed Other tech’s have similar limitations

6 TYPICAL CLINICAL SCENARIO Patient admitted Patient was discharged Antibiotic Therapy Blood culture: Gram (-) bacilli 12304561112 days Salmonella enteritidis confirmed via Sequence ID Technology Salmonella enteritidis confirmed via serotyping Salmonella genus identified

7 OBJECTIVE: PATHOGEN SEQUENCE IDENTIFICATION In the context of bacterial blood stream infections… Broad-based = detect all bacterial pathogens Specific = which pathogens  which drugs Sensitive = single cell as dictated by sample limitations Unaffected by contamination Resolve heterogeneity = resolve polymicrobial infections Fast User independent automated analysis

8 Fluorescence Universal Bacterial PCR High Resolution Melt METHODS

9 ADVANCING HIGH RESOLUTION MELT Traditional Bulk HRMUniversal Digital HRM Fluorescence Temperature population average Fluorescence Temperature Individual sequences S.I. Fraley, et.al. Nucleic Acids Research, 2013

10 Small volume = less reagents, less $$ = greater partitioning of molecules = higher sensitivity Integrated, automated, disposable – DNA extraction – PCR – Readout Portable Rabid heating/cooling MICROFLUIDIC DIGITIZATION ~$15 per test

11 Experimental Variation Temperature Buffer Extraction carry-over Machine Learning Generate training data—known species Algorithm compares test to training Automatic ID Training Data Testing Data ? B. anthracis E. coli AUTOMATE & IMPROVE IDENTIFICATION WITH MACHINE LEARNING
