London Regional Genomics Centre Next Generation Sequencing Meeting April 1, 2010
DNA Sequencing Facility User Base The LRGC Sequencing Facility has worked with over 400 labs across Canada.
NGS Applications • Targeted resequencing (SNP, Indel, CNV) • De novo genome sequencing • Whole transcriptome seq • Small RNAseq • Epigenomics eg. ChIP seq
NGS Technologies • Next Generation Platforms now… • Illumina Solexa • Roche 454 • Applied Biosystems SOLid • Single molecule sequencing coming… • Pacific BioSciences • Helicos • Ion Torrent
Needs Assessment • Does the London Scientific Community need/want local access to NGS technology at a core lab? Recruitment tool? • Survey users regarding which applications are required from NGS? • RNA-Seq, DNA-Seq, ChIP-Seq • Other infrastructure • Data storage, bioinformatics, sequence capture device
London Regional Genomics Centre Robarts Research Institute Survey Monkey Summary Spring 2010
Survey Monkey Statistics • Survey: 8 questions • Recipients: 172 • Total Started Survey: 60 (34.9%) • Total Completed Survey: 54 (31.4%) • Last email survey 2004: 12/33 (36.45%)
Single Molecule Real Time Sequencing Removes misrepresentation of template introduced during preparation 3 Platforms: • Helicos - hardware cost$999,000 • Pacific Bioscience - Expected platform late 2010/early 2011 • Ion Torrent - Recently announced on March 2nd 2010 - Announced to be “$50,000”
Funding Plan • Strategies to fund the initial purchase • Granting agencies • Trans-faculty; trans-department • Funding for ongoing costs • salaries, software, service contracts
Outcomes for today • Agree on need for NGS • Process for platform selection • Sub-committee involvement • Bioinformatics • Capital • Governance • Ongoing operation
Future Directions • De-briefing from today’s meeting • Timelines for • Software • Hardware • Funding • User and Governance committees • Next meeting…
