ABSTRACT: Targeted amplicon sequencing of samples as part of the study "Methanol-based fixation is superior to buffered formalin for next-generation sequencing of DNA from clinical cancer samples. The amplicon panel consists of 48 amplicons in TP53, PTEN, EGFR, PIK3CA, KRAS and BRAF genes as described previously [Forshew, STM 2012]. All libraries were pooled and quantify using DNA 1000 kit on Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer and KAPA SYBR FAST ABI Prism qPCR Kit (KAPA Biosystems) on 7900HT Fast Real-Time PCR System (Applied Biosystems) according to the supplier's recommendations. Reads were aligned using bwa-mem v0.7.12-r1039 to the 1000 genomes version of human genome build GRCh37, retaining duplicate reads.

<h4>Background</h4>Next-generation sequencing (NGS) of tumour samples is a critical component of personalised cancer treatment, but it requires high-quality DNA samples. Routine neutral-buffered formalin (NBF) fixation has detrimental effects on nucleic acids, causing low yields, as well as fragmentation and DNA base changes, leading to significant artefacts.<h4>Patients and methods</h4>We have carried out a detailed comparison of DNA quality from matched samples isolated from high-grade serous  ...[more]
