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 <i>hitherto</i> 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 values of >93% and >80%, respectively. Application of our variant calling pipeline decreased the number of false positive variants dramatically by 90% and resulted in positive predictive value of 97%. This improvement is highly relevant in research as well as clinical setting.
