Info Sheet: Whole Genome Sequencing


Workflow

  1. QC: DNA quantification using Qubit
  2. Library construction from total DNA
  3. Library QC
  4. Illumina Short-Read Sequencing
  5. Bioinformatics data analysis (optional)
Expected turnaround time: 6 weeks after passing QC

Input Requirements

  • At least 150 ng high-quality, RNA-free genomic DNA for TruSeq Nano
  • At least 20-30 ul volume. We will use 2ul for QC!!
  • At least 1'000 ng high-quality (260/280 is 1.8 and 260/230 should be 2.0-2.2),genomic DNA for TruSeq
  • Fresh frozen tissue, FFPE, blood samples as source, others on request
  • Somatic mutations require control samples from corresponding healthy tissue of the same individual
1.5 ml tubes labeled with B-Fabric Tube ID, normalized to the same concentration

Standard Sequencing Recommendations

NovaSeq; 150bp paired-end reads
Packs of 500M reads
germline mutations: 30-fold coverage
somatic mutations: 70-fold coverage

Supported protocols

PCR-free - highly homogenous genome coverage
TruSeq DNA Nano - standard PCR amplification
Nextera XT - low input, optimized for small genomes, PCR amplicons and plasmids
NEBNext Ultra II - low input, compatible with FFPE DNA samples
Depending on genome size and other needs, long read sequencing may be an alternative
