Human Reference Genome

GenomeSuite Analyzer uses T2T-CHM13v2.0+Y as the reference genome for sequence alignments and structural variant calls.

T2T-CHM13v2.0+Y is the first complete, gapless assembly of the human genome. It is considered the gold standard for bioinformatic analysis of human genetic variation.

FAQ

How do I use Analyzer?
Analyzer is available in Amazon Web Services (AWS) as an Amazon Machine Image (AMI).

What type of human genome data does it use?
Analyzer processes human whole genome sequencing datasets, human exome datasets and human gene panels.

What type of sequencing data does Analyzer use?
Analyzer processes raw data files in POD5 or FAST5 format from Oxford Nanopore sequencers.

Why does whole genome analysis take much longer to run than exome analysis?
Human whole genome sequencing datasets are ca. 64X larger than human exome datasets. Exomes only represent about 1% - 2% of the entire human genome. Thus, the time required for analysis of the human exome is a fraction of whole genome.

Why is Analyzer so fast?
Analyzer uses NVIDIA GPU’s in the Hopper (H100), Ampere (A100) and Volta (V100) architectures for high-performance structural variant calling. These GPU’s are the fastest processors available for human genome analysis.

How long does it take to run a sample?
The turnaround time varies depending on the type of required analysis (whole genome, exome, gene panel) and the desired turnaround time. Whole genome analysis with the fastest possible turnaround time takes about 2 hours. Exome analysis with normal turnaround time takes about 10 minutes.

What human reference genome does Analyzer use for variant calling?
Analyzer uses the T2T-CHM13v2.0+Y human reference genome from the T2T consortium. This is the current gold standard for reference genomes.

How are results delivered?
Analyzer generates a standard VCF file that shows all of the identified structural variants. VCF files can be used in a wide variety of applications for downstream analysis, including those for correlating SV’s with disease states and drug recommendations.

How much does it cost?
The cost varies depending on the type of sequencing performed (whole genome, exome, gene panel) and the desired turnaround time. Contact Us to receive a quote.
