Low Level Somatic Variant Detection by Sanger Sequencing of FFPE Samples for ...Thermo Fisher Scientific
DNA sequence variants play an important role in the initiation and progression of many different cancer types. The detection of germline variants at a fixed ratio by gold-standard Sanger sequencing has been well established; however, the detection of somatic mutations, especially in heterogeneous tumor samples where variants may be present at a lower level, has been more challenging. Minor Variant Finder Software (MVF) enables calling of low frequency variants at a detection level as low as 5% using Sanger sequencing.
We have developed gene-specific Sanger sequencing panels covering the entire coding region (all exons) of specific genes (e.g., TP53, KRAS, and NRAS) implicated in tumorigenesis. We initially determined variants of TP53 and KRAS from lung tumor FFPE samples by NGS using the Ion PGM™ System. We confirmed the identity and minor allele frequency of these variants by gene-specific Sanger sequencing panels analyzed by MVF.
To demonstrate the robustness and flexibility of using Sanger sequencing for oncology research, we also included variants across many different solid tumor types in a pan-cancer panel. We tested this workflow with lower amounts of DNA input (10ng, 3ng, 1ng, 0.1ng). Additionally, we have built an extended RAS panel including eight amplicons covering the most important codons (12-13, 59-61, 117 and 146) of KRAS and NRAS genes. The entire workflow and data analysis using MVF was validated on thirty-five FFPE samples derived from colon cancer biopsies by OmniSeq LLC, Buffalo, NY.

CBIZ Small Business Employment Index - November 2015CBIZ, Inc.
November small business hiring reveals a surprisingly weak reading.
This month, 28 percent of companies included in the SBEI reduced headcounts, 21 percent increased payroll commitments, and 51 percent of the small businesses in the index made no change to their employee totals.

Ion Torrent™ Next Generation Sequencing-Oncomine™ Lung cfDNA assay detected 0...Thermo Fisher Scientific
Study of genetic Information from cell-free (cf) DNA provide valuable opportunities in cancer research and potentially impact future oncology. As an example, liquid biopsy provide a non-invasive and cost effective solution for future compared to traditional biopsy tests. Here we report the application of research based Ion Torrent™ next-generation sequencing (NGS) Oncomine™ cfDNA assays and associated workflow, which is developed to detect somatic variants at low frequency of 0.1% in cfDNA from plasma.
