Opportunities, Challenges, & Impact of Next Generation Sequencing Technologies: GSCID perspective Matthew Henn Director of Viral Genomics, Broad Institute Jennifer Wortman Director Microbial Informatics, Broad Institute Granger Sutton Professor Informatics, JCVI
Large number of genomes @ low cost Opportunity: large scale projects with comparative potential Challenges: • Analyses computationally intensive • Standardized analyses & reference selection • Draft quality versus finished quality • Genotype vs. phenotype correlations • Visualization across large datasets & groups of samples • Patient confidentiality Impacts: • Pangenome construction • Gene content/synteny analysis • Phylogenetic reconstruction • Time series analysis
High Resolution Data from Multiple Platforms Opportunity: unprecedented sensitivity and specificity to detect sequence polymorphisms and genes Challenges: • Integration of data from multiple technologies • Read-based analysis • Computationally & storage intensive • need good read mapping to reference dbs • Visualization (genome -> read) • What data do you make available • Levels of availability/access • Data processing/QC steps Impacts: • SNP calling • Population Profiling (e.g. viral) • Assembly & Haplotype Reconstruction • Annotation
Microbial Community Profiling Opportunity: Understanding community dynamics in health and disease,polymicrobialdiseases Challenge: • Exploratory (you don’t know what is there) • What data are important & need be compared (e.g. reads, assemblies, variatns, genes, etc.) • Read-based based analysis • Metadata standardization • Visualization Impacts: • Sequence many organisms in parallel • Profile community transcription • Comprehensive identification of community members/functions
