  • Simplified genome wide detection of genetic variants with NEXTFLEX Rapid XP V2 library prep kit.
Simplified genome
Application Note

Simplified genome wide detection of genetic variants with NEXTFLEX Rapid XP V2 library prep kit.

Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) is a powerful tool that can detect a broad spectrum of genetic variations, from SNP to large structural variants, across the entire genome of an individual. With decreasing sequencing costs, WGS is becoming a viable option for population-wide screening for specific disease risk, including expanded carrier testing, pharmacogenomic variants, and polygenic risk scores, for example. Additionally, WGS is also gaining interest as a complementary research tool in the context of newborn screening, a cornerstone of pediatric healthcare.

Introduction

Library prep can be intimidating for labs without extensive NGS experience. The NEXTFLEX™ Rapid XP V2 NEXTFLEX Rapid XP V2 DNA-Seq Kit NEXTFLEX Rapid XP V2 DNA-Seq Kit  Library prep kit incorporates a streamlined protocol to simplify library prep while delivering robust results. Pooling with the NEXTFLEX UDI barcodes NEXTFLEX UDI Barcodes (10NT, 1-24) NEXTFLEX UDI Barcodes (10NT, 1-24)  enables extreme multiplexing to reduce sequencing costs. Additionally, a complete automated workflow is available for labs seeking to increase throughput and minimize human error. Using cell line-derived reference standards with known mutations, we conducted a proof-of-concept study to evaluate the suitability of the NEXTFLEX Rapid XP V2 library prep kit for detecting germline mutations. These standards offer a controlled means to assess the performance of our WGS workflow, confirming its ability to identify genetic variants in sample material. This study also highlights the potential of the NEXTFLEX Rapid XP V2 kit for comprehensive genomic analysis in research applications.

Methods

Briefly, 25 ng of Mimix™ Male Genomic DNA (HD865) reference standard was used as input for whole genome library preparation. 8 replicates were made. Libraries were made using the NEXTFLEX Rapid XP V2 DNA-seq kit NEXTFLEX Rapid XP V2 DNA-Seq Kit for Metagenomics NEXTFLEX Rapid XP V2 DNA-Seq Kit for Metagenomics  and the NEXTFLEX Unique Dual Index Barcodes NEXTFLEX Unique Dual Index Barcodes (8NT index, 1-96) NEXTFLEX Unique Dual Index Barcodes (8NT index, 1-96)  according to manufacturer’s instructions. The technicians that prepared libraries are experienced in molecular biology but had never used this library prep kit before. Once libraries were prepared, they were quantified using the Thermo Scientific® Qubit® assay, pooled and run on a S2 flow cell on Illumina® NovaSeq® 6000 platform at 2x150 bp read length. Analysis was performed using a custom script, using the VCF file provided for the Mimix reference standards and GRch38 build as reference.

mimix data gc bias

Figure 1: Normalized coverage across varying %GC content for the 8 replicates analysed. The minimal GC bias observed indicates a high degree of coverage uniformity in the data generated.

The Mimix Male Genomic DNA reference standard contains 2,663 variants with AF<10% distributed across multiple regions, including 3’UTR, introns etc. Of those, 269 are missense variants, and they are distributed across 149 genes, all of them relevant in the context of newborn screening. Missense variants are particularly significant in genome-wide screening as they result in amino acid substitutions, directly impacting protein function. For this reason, we focus our attention to them in this test. These group of variants comprises mutations classified as benign, uncertain significance and pathogenic.

Results

On average 626 M reads per sample were generated after sequencing. 98.3% aligned to human genome, corresponding to an average genome coverage of 56x. Coverage uniformity is important to ensure reliable and efficient identification of genetic variation across the genome. To assess the uniformity of coverage distribution in the data, we looked at the GC bias across the 8 replicates (Figure 1).

Concordance between expected genotype from Mimix and observed genotype was 100% for the 269 variants studied. The table below lists some of those variants indicating their ClinVar number, the reference and alternative allele, and the average coverage obtained across the 8 replicates for reach of the alleles.
