Experiment

Action

Concordance with SNP Array

Measure concordance with high-density SNP arrays

Concordance with integrated NGS-derived variants

Measure concordance with Genome In A Bottle (GIAB) NA12878 callset

Calling variants from targeted NGS panel

Measure concordance with calls from a targeted NGS panel (all calls previously validated either by in-house Sanger assays or the presence of the variant in the sample in Hapmap, 1000G, etc.)

Intra-run reproducibility

Measure concordance for the same sample sequenced in the same run with:

A) Different sample preparations across the same flow cell, or

B) The same sample preparation across different flow cells

Inter-run reproducibility

Measure concordance for the same sample on the same machine with:

A) The same sample preparation different runs, or

B) Different sample preparation across different runs

Inter-machine reproducibility

Measure concordance for the same sample with the same sample preparation on different machines of the same model in the same run cycle

Inter-mode reproducibility

Measure concordance between high-throughput and rapid run Illumina modes
