Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is rapidly becoming the method of choice for mutation analysis in both research and diagnostics. The benefit of targeted NGS compared to whole-genome and whole-exome sequencing is that smaller amounts of input material can be used as well as qualitatively suboptimal tissue samples, like formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded archival tissue.Here, we describe the protocol for targeted next-generation sequencing using the Ion Torrent PGM platform in combination with Ion Ampliseq NGS gene panels for formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues. Both the manual and the automated workflow are described as well as the bioinformatics for data analysis.
新一代测序(NGS)正迅速成为研究和诊断中突变分析的首选方法。与全基因组测序和全外显子组测序相比,靶向NGS的优势在于可以使用少量的输入材料以及质量欠佳的组织样本,如福尔马林固定、石蜡包埋的存档组织。在此,我们描述了使用Ion Torrent PGM平台结合Ion Ampliseq NGS基因面板对福尔马林固定、石蜡包埋组织进行靶向新一代测序的方案。文中介绍了手动和自动工作流程以及数据分析的生物信息学方法。
