Product files to support the analysis of samples prepared with the Illumina FFPE DNA Prep with Exome 2.5 Enrichment are mostly available on the DRAGEN Resources page.
Target BED
If no spike-in probes were included in enrichment, download from for hg19 or hg38 reference genomes.
If spike-in probes were included in enrichment, use a BED file of the combined coverage areas, ie., Exome 2.5 Plus Panel plus the custom panel.
Systematic noise files: considered essential for reducing false positive calls in Tumor-Only workflows, and they are also effective at improving precision in Tumor-Normal workflows.
contains prebuilt systematic noise BED files. The directory SNV Somatic Systematic Noise v2.0.0 contains WES_*_v2.0.0_systematic_noise.snv.bed.gz noise files, which are built from a mixture of FF (fresh-frozen) and FFPE samples, with a mix of TruSeq PCR prep and Nextera prep. Reference genome builds (the * in the file name) include hg19 and hg38.
For instructions on how to build your own systematic noise file using internally-sequenced normal samples, see . Building your own noise file will be necessary if using spike-in probes. The normal samples used to generate the systematic noise file should match as closely as possible the sequencer, sample type, and library prep of the tumor samples. Also available are the DRAGEN Baseline Builder App on BSSH and the Systematic Noise File Builder on ICA.
CNV - Somatic pipelines: A Panel of normals (PONs) is used for calling gene amplification in tumor samples
contains CNV Panel of Normals for Twist Bioscience for Illumina Exome FFPE 2.5 - DRAGEN 4.4 v1.0. The PON was generated from 45 FFPE benign adjacent samples from different tissue types and from male and female donors with the Illumina FFPE DNA Prep with Exome 2.5 Enrichment protocol. Libraries were sequenced on the NovaSeq 6000 sequencing system. Current supported builds include hg19 and hg38, both target.counts and gc-corrected.target.counts.
As with the systematic noise file, internally-sequenced normal samples can be used to . The input should be the UMI-collapsed BAM files of the normal samples, and the reference genome and target BED need to match those used throughout the workflow. Also available are the DRAGEN Baseline Builder App on BSSH and the DRAGEN CNV Baseline Builder Pipeline on ICA.
MSI - Reference directory of normals To be used when enabling the biomarker MSI in Tumor-only mode. This is a in a collection of normals
contains Microsatellite Files v1.1.0. Within the WES directory are baseline files. These are a collection of 44 .dist files from benign adjacent samples from different tissue types and from male and female donors with the Illumina FFPE DNA Prep with Exome 2.5 Enrichment protocol. Libraries were sequenced on the NovaSeq 6000 sequencing system. Current supported builds include hg19 and hg38.
See the reference directory from interally-sequenced normal samples. Also available are the DRAGEN Baseline Builder App on BSSH and the DRAGEN MSI Baseline Builder 4-3-6 Pipeline on ICA.
MSI - Microsatellite sites: list of microsatellite sites from which to calculate instability
contains Microsatellite Files v1.1.0. Within the WES directory are updated lists of WES microsatellite sites.
