A comprehensive next-generation sequencing (NGS) assay for translational and early clinical research

A comprehensive next-generation sequencing (NGS) assay for translational and early clinical research

The Oncomine Comprehensive Assay v3 is a multi-biomarker NGS assay that covers 161 of the most relevant cancer genes, based on the Oncomine Knowledgebase and from collaborations with leading cancer research institutions and pharmaceutical companies. The low sample input requirement enables the analysis of even small and challenging formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples.

Highlights of the Oncomine Comprehensive Assay v3 include:

  • Only 10 ng of DNA or RNA sample input, making the Oncomine Comprehensive Assay v3 an ideal solution for the analysis of challenging FFPE samples
  • Detects relevant SNVs, CNVs, gene fusions, and indels from 161 unique cancer-associated genes in one streamlined workflow
  • High specificity, sensitivity, and reproducibility across different research laboratories, as demonstrated in translational and clinical research projects including the NCI Match Trial
  • Efficient workflow on Ion Chef System plus Ion GeneStudio S5 or Ion Torrent Genexus system with high multiplexing flexibility and fast time to results

"The requirement of a lower DNA input for the Oncomine assay is a significant advantage when primary samples are becoming increasingly limited."

Oncomine Comprehensive Assay v3 gene content

The Oncomine Comprehensive Assay v3 includes:

  • Hotspot SNVs and indels, CNVs, and gene fusions
  • Kinase domain coverage to span the entire kinase domain in several critical receptor tyrosine kinases. This increases the likelihood of detecting functionally relevant mutations in addition to known actionable and prevalent variants (ALK, BRAF, DDR2, EGFR, ERBB2, KIT, MET, PDGFRA, RET, ROS1).
  • Representation of genes involved in DNA repair (31 genes in DNA repair pathway)
  • Coverage of MAPK, PI3K, and cell cycle pathway genes

 

161 genes categorized by somatic alteration type

87 Hotspots genes
43 Focal CNV gains
48 Full CDS for DEL mutations
51 Fusion drivers

Flexible configurations to fit your needs

The Oncomine Comprehensive Assay v3 has been optimized for throughput of eight samples on the Ion GeneStudio S5 Systems or six samples on the Ion Torrent Genexus System. The assay is available on Ion GeneStudio S5 Systems in two configurations: manual and automated (using Ion Chef System for library preparation) and includes the DNA and RNA primer panel and library preparation reagents. The Genexus System combines preparation, templating, and sequencing in one system.
