Illumina Genome Analyzer




            • sequencing-by-synthesis approach uses
              4 fluorescently labeled modified nucleotides

            • allows for reversible termination, which permits
              each sequencing reaction cycle to occur in the
              presence of all four nucleotides (A, C, T, G)

            • sequence millions of DNA fragments in parallel,
              a single base at a time.




                                                                 18
          Illumina Compared to Roche 454
               Sequencing Technology


Strengths

   •   No problems with single base resolution in homopolymer tracts
   •   Lower cost per run than the 454
   •   No problems with potential emulsion PCR contamination
   •   Much more sequence data per sample run

Shortcomings

   • Fewer runs per unit time than the 454
   • Much more data load per run (data transfer and storage issues)
   • Much shorter read lengths than the 454

   However, unique portions of the genome often resolve themselves as
   readily using 454 or Solexa reads as when longer Sanger reads are used.

        Challenges to Implementation
 of New Sequencing Technologies in Core Facilities



LARGE AMOUNTS OF DATA

   Assessment of run quality and the analysis of data is an
   IT data transfer and informatics analysis challenge
   due to the large amount of data and significant time involved
   in running data analysis.


SCHEDULING FULL RUNS

   Collecting the appropriate number and type of samples for a full run is a
   scheduling and cost efficiency challenge to operating the new instruments
   effectively in a core facility environment.


DATA ANALYSIS APPLICATIONS

   Manufacturer provided analysis tools are usable but not optimal.
   Analysis tools for short reads are still in development by many groups.
   Installation and comparison of informatics analysis options is a challenge.




                                                                                 21
          Challenges to Implementation
 of New Sequencing Technologies in Core Facilities


APPLICATION PROTOCOL DEVELOPMENT

   Few standard protocols have been established yet for project design
   of applications such as microRNA profiling.
   The need for protocol development for many types of applications is a
   challenge to running these types of projects in a core facility production
   pipeline.


RAPIDLY DEVELOPING TECHNOLOGY

   Frequent upgrades to instrumentation hardware and software present a
   challenge to the standardization of operating protocols and quality metrics
   even as they lead to significantly improved performance.


NEED FOR MULTIPLE PLATFORMS

   Different new sequencing platforms are optimal for different applications.
   Some projects are best done with a hybrid platform approach.
   Potential need for multiple types of new sequencing instruments is a fiscal
   and operational challenge to implementing these platforms in core facilities.


                                                                                   22

                           WikiLIMS Application
             for Next Generation Sequencing at Cornell
Implemented WikiLIMS, a collection of customizable software tools for data management
that extends the open-source MediaWiki software.

Advantages of WikiLIMS:
     • Structured information but also flexible as an electronic lab notebook.
     • Based on open source components, therefore easy to extend and maintain.
     • Implemented as a service from BioTeam, with no licensing or annual fees.

Milestones achieved in WikiLIMS implementation:
     • Apache, MySQL, MediaWiki, and WikiLIMS installation and configuration.
     • Automated migration of sequencing results from Illumina instruments to WikiLIMS.
     • Facilitation of data collection from multiple Illumina sequencing runs into a common
       storage system, annotation of data within a run, and establishment of relationships
       between runs.
     • Integration of WikiLIMS with existing LIMS for business processes (e.g., ordering and
       invoicing).

Next goals for WikiLIMS development:
     • Enhance reporting on sequencing production results statistics.
     • Extension of WikiLIMS support for multiple core facility resources (e.g., microarrays,
       protein production).

    One of the recent major new developments in this informatics pipeline is that the growth in robustness
of some analysis packages allows some of the downstream analysis to be standardized for some applications.

 • Developed as a flexible data management and data analysis pipeline
   for plant projects and extended to human clinical studies.

 • Patient or plant and animal sample information is encrypted in
   the database and is only accessible to authorized personnel.

 • Data access to the relational database is possible
   through either a web browser or flat file spreadsheets.

 • Database schema is designed to accommodate both
   basic research projects and clinical study protocols.

 • Analysis of the resulting large scale data sets
   done on massively parallel computer clusters.

• User accessibility is major problem in life sciences high performance computing (HPC)

• Using a parallel cluster requires knowledge of the operating system, queuing system
  and parallel programming

• BioHPC suite provides easy access to standardized life sciences applications on the
  Windows HPC platform

• Web-based, point-and-click access to a variety of bioinformatics applications
  with the underlying structure of the computational platform transparent to the user

• Enhancement of standard applications through parallelization, transparent to the user

• Web-based administration of users, jobs, applications, and clusters within the suite

• Standardized access to and maintenance of bioinformatics databases

• Allows remote HPC computing via JSDL (web service) connection to a remote cluster

                                           Applications

• Data mining / sequence analysis (BLAST, HMMER, InterProScan, RepeatFinder)

• Protein structure prediction and modeling (LOOPP, Modeller)

• Protein simulation (MOIL)

• Population genetics (BEAST, IM, IMa, InStruct, MDIV, Migrate, MKPRF, MSVAR,
  Parentage, SFS_CODE, Structurama, Structure, TESS)

• Phylogenetics (MrBayes, ClustalW, T-COFFEE)

• Various other applications (R)


The system is flexible and can be easily customized to include additional software, including new software
analysis tools for next generation sequencing. The interface to each application is standardized. Users can
choose the cluster, number of nodes or allow the interface to determine it based on the best load balance
and node availability.

     • Use 454 to sequence 8 reference lines to identify filtered fraction of the
       genome.

     • Follow this by 10X coverage of this methyl-fraction by Solexa runs on
       each of the lines (86 total runs).

     • The growing set of identified SNPs are being used to project
       genotypes of the 27 founder maize lines onto their 7200 previously
       genotyped offspring.
