Abstract

Results of sequencing of whole mitochondrial genome, HV1 and HV2 DNA with the second generation system (SGS) Roche 454 GS Junior were compared with results of Sanger sequencing and SNP typing with SNaPshot single base extension detected with MALDI-TOF and capillary electrophoresis. We investigated the performance of the software analysis of the data, reproducibility, ability to sequence homopolymeric regions, detection of mixtures and heteroplasmy as well as the implications of the depth of coverage. We found full reproducibility between samples sequenced twice with SGS. We found close to full concordance between the mtDNA sequences of 26 samples obtained with (1) the 454 SGS method using a depth of coverage above 100 and (2) Sanger sequencing and SNP typing. The discrepancies were primarily observed in homopolymeric regions. The 454 SGS method was able to sequence 95% of the reads correctly in homopolymers up to 4 bases, and up to 6 bases could be sequenced with similar success if the results were carefully, visually inspected. The 454 technology was able to detect mixtures or heteroplasmy of approximately 10%. We detected previously unreported heteroplasmy in the GM9947A component of the NIST human mitochondrial DNA SRM-2392 standard reference material.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Different NGS platforms, such as Roche/454, Ion torrent and Illumina systems, have proven capable of sequencing the majority of STR loci in forensic science.

    “Different NGS platforms, such as Roche/454, Ion torrent and Illumina systems, have proven capable of sequencing the majority of STR loci in forensic science (Fordyce et al., 2015; Mikkelsen et al., 2014; Van Neste et al., 2014).”
  • STR-CE has a stutter ratio of 20%, which is often used for initial filtering.

    “compared to a stutter ratio of 20% for STR-CE, which is often used for initial filtering (Brookes et al., 2012; Mikkelsen et al., 2014; Novroski et al., 2016).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
