Concordance Data: Customer Case Study Shows Performance of NovaSeq X Plus

Share:

October 17, 2023 — Rockville, MD — Psomagen is delighted to share the results of a recent concordance analysis, analyzing the performance of our new Illumina NovaSeq X Plus instrument in comparison with the NovaSeq 6000. Long-time Psomagen customer Orchid Health assessed the performance of their proprietary whole genome assay on the NovaSeq X Plus when compared to the NovaSeq 6000. Their analysis focused on the accuracy, precision, sensitivity, and specificity of these instruments. 

The same pool of DNA libraries prepared from 5 Genome in a Bottle (GIAB) cell lines were sequenced using whole genome sequencing on the NovaSeq 6000 and NovaSeq X Plus at 30x coverage. Notably, each DNA sample prior to library construction was diluted to a picogram followed by a whole genome amplification to mimic the amount of DNA extracted during PGT.

 

According to Dhruva Chandramohan, Orchid Health Lead Bioinformatics Scientist, “After running both GIAB datasets through our current pipeline and applying our standard variant filters...we observed that the Nova[Seq] X [Plus] achieved on average higher accuracy, specificity, sensitivity, and comparable precision to the Nova 6000.”
