`R&D Update: Genome Pipeline Service
`
`•
`
`•
`
`First draft of requirements specification completed but constantly refining
`• Developing Pipeline Service report to be compelling and differentiating
`
`Team currently focused on development of the prototype with the goal of
`testing early with collaborators
`
`• Project plan completed with preliminary delivery date estimates, on track for:
`• Aug 2012: Prototype Product for Testing with Collaborators
`• Nov 2012: Estimated date for v1 Product for Beta Testing
`
`•
`
`The accuracy effort is foundational for the Pipeline service (described by John
`earlier). Research risk may impact v1 schedule.
`
`• Developing “upstream” ops capabilities to handle and process samples and
`different assays (Christian)
`• Need to match lab assay capabilities with downstream analytics

`
`Mendel DB Curation Process
`
`Training
`
`Curators are given one
`completed example
`phenotype and the curation
`SOP (including controlled
`language fields where
`applicable, and preferred
`entry format)
`
`Curator completes an
`assigned simple phenotype in
`the curation spreadsheet
`using the SOP
`
`Personalis GC reviews the
`training phenotype, provides
`feedback, and assigns four
`more complicated
`phenotypes for curation
`training
`
`Personalis GC reviews four
`phenotypes, provides
`feedback, and releases the
`curator to primary curation
`(if appropriate)
`
`Curation
`
`Personalis GC skims
`GeneReviews article, creates
`a phenotype ontology, and
`deposits it into the curator
`phenotype sign-out sheet
`(shared as a Google Doc)
`
`Curators sign out phenotypes
`prioritizing being the second
`curator to curate a
`phenotype
`
`Curators read the assigned
`GeneReviews article, curate
`phenotype information
`according to SOP, and record
`all variants mentioned. Any
`difficulties/questions are
`directed to Personalis GCs
`
`At the end of the week
`curators send all completed
`phenotypes to the Personalis
`GCs along with a time sheet
`and description of curation
`activities
`
`Tracking &
`QC
`
`Personalis GC records and
`calculates curation statistics
`weekly. Stats sent to
`curators.
`
`Personalis GC deposits
`doubly curated phenotypes
`into QC tracking documents
`that auto-flag inter-curator
`discrepancies
`
`Personalis GC signs out
`phenotype for QC, resolves
`all discrepancies and deposits
`phenotypes and variants into
`final database (not available
`to curators)
`
`QC tracking documents are e-
`mailed to each curator with
`final entries, flagged errors
`and feedback (if necessary).
`SOP is modified as necessary
`& redistributed.

`Supercentenarian Collaboration
`
`• Research Collaboration with
`• Dr. Stuart Kim, Stanford Prof of Genetics
`• Also involved are Lee Hood from ISB and L. Stephen from Gerontology Research Group
`• Goal: To uncover genetic factors that permit extreme longevity
`• Do supercentenarians have fewer overall risk alleles for common diseases that help them
`avoid disease?
`• Do supercentenarians have protective alleles that allow them to avoid aging/disease?
`• Do supercentenarians have CNVs that provide protection against or promote aging/disease?
`• Details:
`• >=110 yrs old, 71 such people in the world, most female
`• ~17 supercentenarians (>=110 years old) have been sequenced (CG)
`• Analyzing variants using our content/algorithms
`• Completed IRB approval for Personalis involvement in project
`• Finalizing collaboration agreement with Stanford
`• Benefits:
`• Potentially high profile, impact publication
`• Will showcase the power of our content from Varimed
`• Research experience with genomes from extremely healthy, long lived people

`
`1000 Genomes Collaboration
`
`•
`
`•
`
`•
`
`•
`
`•
`
`•
`
`Objective:
`–
`Enable rapid generation of new high-confidence SVs, work with leaders in the area
`Summary:
`–
`Try to identify SVs that are most likely true positives by evaluating their genotypes, i.e. assessing Hardy-Weinberg
`Equilibrium (e.g., Hardy-Weinberg p-value) or other metrics based on population genotyping.
`Method:
`–
`Perform post-processing on BreakSeq calls made in several individuals in a population
`–
`Search for SVs that tend to yield clearcut genotypes (based on assessing reference and alternate alleles for BreakSeq
`across the analyzed individuals.
`Validation:
`–
`The quality of the new SV set could be assessed using existing validation data from the 1000 Genomes Project (e.g., aCGH
`and SAV, as approaches for assessing FDRs with these are already in place) or
`–
`By generating additional PCR validations.
`Benefits:
`–
`Latest junction library from the 1KG
`–
`Expert advice on the methodology
`–
`Improvement of BreakSeq
`–
`High-quality SV call set for filtering for accuracy
`–
`Begin to build an SV frequency database, which could also be used for disease association
`Current Status:
`–
`Finished running BreakSeq on 991 1KG genomes based on a deletion junction library with 2 different stringency levels.

`Scientific Computing Infrastructure
`
`•
`
`Looking for a scientific computing manager
`• Hands-on experience with HPC, Big data, Cloud computing, Data security
`
`• Continuing to anticipate our 3-6 month computing needs
`• R&D needs are priority currently, ops needs will become more prominent later
`
`•
`
`• New hardware geared at:
`•
`Increasing our genome processing capability
`– Dell R910 servers x 2 = ~Four 30x genomes processed/day if fully utilized
`Increasing our overall storage to enable development work, download of numerous
`genomes for development and testing work requires more storage
`– DAS: Dell MD3200 x2, MD1200 x 4 in RAID 5 and RAID 10 = 112 TB storage
`– NAS: Dell NX3100 = 22 TB Storage
`• Hosting key development software
`– Dell R210 for hosting JIRA, GIT, TWIKI, NIS
`
`• Other items
`• Server backup planning
`• Move to new location

`
`Key R&D Risks and Mitigation
`
`Risk
`
`Mitigation
`
`• Hiring great people takes time. If not hired on schedule, may
`impact schedule
`• Numerous development tasks are still research in nature
`making timeline more difficult to estimate
`
`• Long lead time content curation and content quality items for
`GIS and RVDS
`• Complexity of development on multiple products fronts with
`small development team
`
`• Licensing of applications and content for analysis
`
`• Ethical use of Genomes for R&D
`
`• Product Differentiation
`
`• Scalability of products and services
`
`• Identifying high quality collaborators for testing our services.
`Potentially long lead time.
`
`• Recruiters now involved
`• Web site careers posting
`• Continue rapid prototyping to resolve, get visibility on some
`key technical risks to plan appropriately, especially with
`Accuracy effort, GIS product and report generation
`• Already started on those items with long lead times to
`develop concurrently with Pipeline (MendelDB, etc)
`• Hiring
`• Basic Project Mgmt infrastructure being deployed including
`JIRA, GIT, TWIKI, etc to enhance efficiency
`• Created process for systematic review and acquisition of
`licenses. Prioritized most important ones (over 50 on the
`list!)
`• Ethics board approval for all Genomes used for R&D
`• Part of orientation training
`• Continuing to push differentiation in three key areas:
`Accuracy/Quality, Content, Features
`• Approach is to prioritizing resources towards demonstrating
`value with our services, then scaling once that is
`demonstrated
`• Begin to identify collaborators for each of the services to get
`IRB ethical legal framework in place
