2. Process • GPCL-BAC Director & Analyst meet w/PI • Discuss Data Analysis Needs & Study Design • PI Decides on Use of BAC or “Go it Alone” • “Go It Alone” -> data (.sff files) • “Use the BAC” • data analysis $ estimate • annotation, assembly, & analysis + data • PI reviews Preliminary Research Report w/Analyst • After final analysis, PI receives Report & Data • Often the Analysis will be tailored to the application

7. de novo Genome Assembly • Two software packages currently used: • GS FLX Assembler (Newbler algorithm) Can be used for all experiments • Lasergene (SeqMan Pro) Single-end experiments only

8. GS de novo Assembler • Input: .sff files and per-base quality scores • Output: Consensus sequence, assembled de novo • Main processing steps: • Identify pairwise overlaps between reads • Construct multiple alignments of contigs • Generate consensus basecalls of contigs • Output contig consensus sequences and quality scores, along with ACE file of multiple alignments and assembly metrics files From 454 Sequencing GS-FLX Data Analysis Software Manual, Dec 2007

11. GS Reference Mapper • Generates the consensus DNA sequence by mapping, or alignment, of the reads to a reference sequence • Provides a list of high-confidence mutations (individual bases or blocks of bases that differ between the consensus DNA sequence of the sample and the reference sequence) From 454 Sequencing GS-FLX Data Analysis Software Manual, Dec 2007

29. Grant Text Next Generation Sequence Bioinformatics Analysis. The Bioinformatics Analysis Core is sufficiently endowed with software and human resources to conduct the analysis of data from resequencing and de novo sequencing studies. Software acquisitions include the default Genome Sequencer modules and the recently acquired specialized Lasergene 7.2 software by DNA*. One BAC staff member is dedicated to the analysis of long-read NextGen sequencing data and is responsible for generating research reports for each project. Genome Sequencer FLX System Software The FLX System Software includes modules for each stage in the analysis. All raw data are accessible, and the system also offers a variety of third party software packages for niche applications. Data QA/QC The Core uses a variety of data quality control measures including consensus accuracy and quality scores including per base (Q20+) and per genome (%Bases Q20+; the proportion of an assembled genome with base call accuracy of >99%). The Core has also acquired licenses required to execute the full suite of Lasergene applications to round out the core’s Genome Annotation capabilities. In addition to the sequence assembler/SNP discover algorithms in SeqMan Pro, and the visualization and sequence editing modules (SeqBuilder), the Lasergene suite adds the capacity for gene finding (GeneQuest) and protein structure analysis & prediction (Protean). The variety of file types that the core is expected to handle is greatly aided by Laser Genes’s EditSeq and by the much-improved interoperability of SeqMan Pro (which can import .sff, .fna, .fas and .qual files).
