Title: Computational analysis of human- and mouse-specific next-generation sequencing data in mixed tissue samples
Abstract:
Blackfield is a young biotechnology company supporting pharmaceutical
companies in developing targeted cancer drugs. We offer to derive
genetic tumor profiles from next-generation sequencing (NGS) data.
Computational analysis of the raw sequencing data using proprietary
algorithms is a key step in this process, due to the massive amount of
data generated by NGS platforms. In this talk, I will outline the
generation and analysis of NGS data, and I will present the novel
strategy we integrated recently in our computational analysis pipeline
to deal with contaminated tumor samples. Artificial validation samples
demonstrate in a controlled setting how this approach influences
mutation calling or gene expression analyses.
