Evaluation of the Performance of AmpliSeq and SureSelect Exome Sequencing Libraries for Ion Proton
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Library preparation for whole exome sequencing is a critical step serving the enrichment of the regions of interest. For Ion Proton, there are only two exome library preparation methods available, AmpliSeq and SureSelect. Although of major interest, a comparison of the two methods is hitherto missing in the literature. Here we systematically evaluate the performance of AmpliSeq and SureSelect and present an improved variant calling pipeline. We used 12 in-house DNA samples with genome-wide and exome microarray data and a commercially available reference DNA (NA12878) for evaluation. Both methods had a high concordance (>97%) with microarray genotypes and when validating against NA12878 a sensitivity and positive predictive value (PPV) of >93% and >80%, respectively. Application of our variant calling pipeline decreased the number of false positive variants dramatically by 90% and resulted in PPV of 97%. This improvement is highly relevant in research as well as clinical setting.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
