Sample to InsightTumor heterogeneity3
Tumors are notorious for being a mixed population of cancer cells and infiltrating cells
There is often a limited amount of sample available
FFPE samples are a necessary part of most cancer research programs
Sample to InsightTumor heterogeneity4Tumor heterogeneity leads toHighly variable cancersDifferential response to treatmentTargetedNon-targetedA need to be monitored over time, especially during treatmentLow-frequency gene mutations are as important as high-frequency ones The challenge is to identify these low frequency events
Sample to InsightIt is generally agreed that cancer stem cell model must coexists with other sources of tumor heterogeneity including clonal evolution, heterogeneity in micro-environment, and reversible changes in cancer-cell properties that can occur independently of hierarchical properties
What is not clear is what extent is metastasis, therapy resistance and disease progression reflect the intrinsic properties of the cancer stem cells as apposed to genetic evolution or other sources of heterogeneity.
What is certainly clear is that we need to develop integrated multiple experimental approach to distinguish the relative contributions of these different sources of heterogeneity to disease progression.
For easier applications in real world, these have to be easy to implement, robust and 4
Using targeted sequencing to understand tumor heterogeneity5Targeted sequencing is uniquely positioned to address these problemsNeeds a small amount of sample inputRobust even when using FFPE or damaged samplesAccessible to researchers with bench-top NGS instrumentsSimplified bioinformaticsVariant?Fusion?GEX?miRNA?Variant?Fusion?GEX?miRNA?Variant?Fusion?GEX?miRNA?

Sample to Insight15Advantages of SPE:Needs only a single region for primer design Unlocks entire transcriptome, genome and fusion genes Having to use half the number of primers lowers cost and allows for greater content during multiplexingAble to adapt to G/C-rich and difficult-to-PCR regionsAllows you to sequence almost everythingUniform reaction Uniform library construction uniform sequencingWorks very well on FFPE, fragmented and low quality samples
Disadvantages of SPE:Extra step in library constructionMay add 1 hour to total workflowSingle primer extension

Applies to a wide range of panels
DNA variant analysis and novel gene fusion discoveryA mutation is seen in 1 out of 5 reads that map to EGFR exon 21
Sample to InsightA variant identified in a sample represents one of two events: a true or false variant. False variants can be introduced at any step during the workflow, including sequencing reactions. This results in the inability to accurately and confidently call rare variants (those present at 1% of the sample). Due to PCR duplicates generated in amplification steps, all DNA fragments look exactly the same, and there is no way to tell whether a specific DNA fragment is a unique DNA molecule or a duplicate of a DNA molecule. With molecular barcodes, since each unique DNA molecule is barcoded before any amplification takes place, unique DNA molecules are identified by their unique barcodes, and PCR duplicates carrying the same barcode are removed, thereby increasing the sensitivity of the panel.50
