Next-Gen Diagnostic Sequencing Applications Shotgun / Paired-End Sequencing: random shearing of DNA, even sequence coverage over entire genome. ‘Massively parallel’ sequencing not only produces throughput, it provides sequences of potentially millions of individual molecules (instant cloning). By sequencing a PCR reaction it allows the detailed search for low expression quasi-species or mutations which may signal growing drug or vaccine resistance – a process called ultra-deep or amplicon sequencing. Example: clinical case of poxvirus infection with samples exhibiting a reduced sensitivity to an antiviral drug. Complex clinical, laboratory or environmental samples can be sequenced to provide a diagnostic ‘snapshot’ of the resident organisms - an approach called metagenomic sequencing. Examples: tissue culture, soil

Complicated and time consuming library preparation • Requires micrograms of DNA to begin 3 days to prepare library Requires amplification of library Low copy number polymorphisms may be missed Emulsion PCR is an inefficient, time consuming, oily mess Potential to introduce PCR bias into sample Instruments require repetitive sequential ‘flows’ of reagents Repetitive flows of nucleotides, blocking/unblocking chemistry, washing out reaction byproducts all slow synthesis and hinder read-length Consumes liters of reagents ($) Repetitive flows and imaging extend sequence runs to days (or weeks)
