Document # 1000000030329 v04 2 FOR IN VITRO DIAGNOSTIC USE Local Run Manager Germline Variant Analysis Module Workflow Guide for NextSeq 550Dx Overview The Local Run Manager Germline Variant Module is for use with the Illumina TruSeq Custom Amplicon Kit Dx assay and the NextSeq 550Dx. When used with the Germline Variant Module, the assay is intended for preparing libraries used for the sequencing of DNA from peripheral whole blood specimens. The analysis module evaluates short regions of amplified DNA, or amplicons, for variants. Focused sequencing of amplicons enables high coverage of particular regions. See the package insert TruSeq Custom Amplicon Kit Dx (document # 1000000029772). The Germline Variant analysis module requires 300-cycle sequencing consumables. For more information, see the NextSeq 550Dx High Output Reagent Kit v2 or NextSeq 550Dx High Output Reagent Kit v2.5 package insert.

Analysis Methods The Germline Variant analysis module performs the following analysis steps and then writes analysis output files to the Alignment folder. u Demultiplexes index reads u Generates FASTQ files u Aligns to a reference u Identifies variants Document # 1000000030329 v04 5 FOR IN VITRO DIAGNOSTIC USE Local Run Manager Germline Variant Analysis Module Workflow Guide for NextSeq 550Dx Demultiplexing Demultiplexing compares each Index Read sequence to the index sequences specified for the run. No quality values are considered in this step. Index reads are identified using the following steps: u Samples are numbered starting from 1 based on the order they are listed for the run. u Sample number 0 is reserved for clusters that were not assigned to a sample. u Clusters are assigned to a sample when the index sequence matches exactly or when there is up to a single mismatch per Index Read. FASTQ File Generation After demultiplexing, the software generates intermediate analysis files in the FASTQ format, which is a text format used to represent sequences. FASTQ files contain reads for each sample and the associated quality scores. Clusters that did not pass filter are excluded. Each FASTQ file contains reads for only one sample, and the name of that sample is included in the FASTQ file name. FASTQ files are the primary input for alignment. Eight FASTQ files are generated per sample, four from Read 1 and four from Read 2. Alignment During the alignment step, the banded Smith-Waterman algorithm aligns clusters from each sample against amplicon sequences specified in the manifest file. The banded Smith-Waterman algorithm performs semiglobal sequence alignments to determine similar regions between two sequences. Instead of comparing the total sequence, the Smith-Waterman algorithm compares segments of all possible lengths. Each paired-end read is evaluated in terms of its alignment to the relevant probe sequences for that read. u Read 1 is evaluated against the reverse complement of the Downstream Locus-Specific Oligos (DLSO). u Read 2 is evaluated against the Upstream Locus-Specific Oligos (ULSO). u If the start of a read matches a probe sequence with no more than three differences (mismatches or shifts due to leading indels), the full length of the read is aligned against the amplicon target for that sequence. u Indels within the DLSO and ULSO are not observed given the assay chemistry. Alignments are filtered from alignment results based on mismatch rates over either the region of interest or the full amplicon, depending on the amplicon length. Filtered alignments are written in alignment files as unaligned and are not used in variant calling. Variant Calling Developed by Illumina, the Pisces Variant Caller identifies variants present in the DNA sample. The Pisces variant caller identifies SNVs, MNVs, and small indels in 3 steps: u Considers each position in the reference genome separately u Counts bases at the given position for aligned reads that overlap the position u Computes a variant score that measures the quality of the call using Poisson model. Variants with a quality score below Q20 are excluded. Document # 1000000030329 v04 6 FOR IN VITRO DIAGNOSTIC USE Local Run Manager Germline Variant Analysis Module Workflow Guide for NextSeq 550Dx If a variant passes all filters, the variant is marked as PASS in VCF.

Demultiplexing File Format The process of demultiplexing reads the index sequence attached to each cluster to determine from which sample the cluster originated. The mapping between clusters and sample number is written to a demultiplexing (*.demux) file for each tile of the flow cell. The demultiplexing file naming format is s_1_X.demux, where X is the tile number. Document # 1000000030329 v04 8 FOR IN VITRO DIAGNOSTIC USE Local Run Manager Germline Variant Analysis Module Workflow Guide for NextSeq 550Dx Demultiplexing files start with a header: u Version (4 byte integer), currently 1 u Cluster count (4 byte integer) The remainder of the file consists of sample numbers for each cluster from the tile. When the demultiplexing step is complete, the software generates a demultiplexing file named DemultiplexSummaryF1L1.txt. u In the file name, F1 represents the flow cell number. u In the file name, L1 represents the lane number. u Demultiplexing results in a table with 1 row per tile and 1 column per sample, including sample 0. u The most commonly occurring sequences in index reads. FASTQ File Format FASTQ is a text-based file format that contains base calls and quality values per read. Each record contains 4 lines: u The identifier u The sequence u A plus sign (+) u The Phred quality scores in an ASCII + 33 encoded format The identifier is formatted as: @Instrument:RunID:FlowCellID:Lane:Tile:X:Y ReadNum:FilterFlag:0:SampleNumber Example: @SIM:1:FCX:1:15:6329:1045 1:N:0:2 TCGCACTCAACGCCCTGCATATGACAAGACAGAATC + <>;##=><9=AAAAAAAAAA9#:<#<;<<<????#= BAM File Format A BAM file (*.bam) is the compressed binary version of a SAM file that is used to represent aligned sequences up to 128 Mb. SAM and BAM formats are described in detail at samtools.github.io/htsspecs/SAMv1.pdf. BAM files use the file naming format of SampleName_S#.bam, where # is the sample number determined by the order that samples are listed for the run. BAM files contain a header section and an alignment section: u Header--Contains information about the entire file, such as sample name, sample length, and alignment method. Alignments in the alignments section are associated with specific information in the header section. u Alignments--Contains read name, read sequence, read quality, alignment information, and custom tags. The read name includes the chromosome, start coordinate, alignment quality, and the match descriptor string. The alignments section includes the following information for each read or read pair: u AS: Paired-end alignment quality Document # 1000000030329 v04 9 FOR IN VITRO DIAGNOSTIC USE Local Run Manager Germline Variant Analysis Module Workflow Guide for NextSeq 550Dx u RG: Read group, which indicates the number of reads for a specific sample. u BC: Barcode tag, which indicates the demultiplexed sample ID associated with the read. u SM: Single-end alignment quality. u XC: Match descriptor string u XN: Amplicon name tag, which records the amplicon ID associated with the read BAM index files (*.bam.bai) provide an index of the corresponding BAM file. VCF File Format Variant Call Format (VCF) is a common file format developed by the genomics scientific community. It contains information about variants found at specific positions in a reference genome. VCF files end with the .vcf suffix The VCF file header includes the VCF file format version and the variant caller version and lists the annotations used in the remainder of the file. The VCF header also includes the reference genome file and BAM file. The last line in the header contains the column headings for the data lines. Each of the VCF file data lines contains information about one variant. VCF File Headings Heading CHROM POS ID REF ALT QUAL Description The chromosome of the reference genome. Chromosomes appear in the same order as the reference FASTQ file. The single-base position of the variant in the reference chromosome. For SNPs, this position is the reference base with the variant; for indels or deletions, this position is the reference base immediately before the variant. The rs number for the variant obtained from dbSNP.txt, if applicable. If there are multiple rs numbers at this location, the list is semi-colon delimited. If no dbSNP entry exists at this position, a missing value marker ('.') is used. The reference genotype. For example, a deletion of a single T is represented as reference TT and alternate T. An A to T single nucleotide variant is represented as reference A and alternate T. The alleles that differ from the reference read. For example, an insertion of a single T is represented as reference A and alternate AT. An A to T single nucleotide variant is represented as reference A and alternate T. A Phred-scaled quality score assigned by the variant caller. Higher scores indicate higher confidence in the variant and lower probability of errors. For a quality score of Q, the estimated probability of an error is 10-(Q/10). For example, the set of Q30 calls has a 0.1% error rate. Many variant callers assign quality scores based on their statistical models, which are high in relation to the error rate observed.

Located in the Alignment folder. Contains summary statistics specific to the run. Located in the Alignment folder. Analysis Folder The analysis folder holds the files generated by the Local Run Manager software. The relationship between the output folder and analysis folder is summarized as follows: u During sequencing, Real-Time Analysis (RTA) populates the output folder with files generated during image analysis, base calling, and quality scoring. u RTA copies files to the analysis folder in real time. After RTA assigns a quality score to each base for each cycle, the software writes the file RTAComplete.txt to both folders. u When the file RTAComplete.txt is present, analysis begins. u As analysis continues, Local Run Manager writes output files to the analysis folder, and then copies the files back to the output folder. Alignment Folders Each time that analysis is requeued, the Local Run Manager creates an Alignment folder named Alignment_N, where N is a sequential number.

RTAComplete.txt RunInfo.xml RunParameters.xml Base Calling and Index Diversity When samples are sequenced on the NextSeq 550Dx instrument, base calling determines a base (A, C, G, or T) for every cluster of a given tile, or imaging area on the flow cell, at a specific cycle. The NextSeq 550Dx instrument uses two-channel sequencing, which requires only two images to encode the data for four DNA bases, one from the red channel and one from the green channel. The process for base calling index reads differs from base calling during other reads. Index reads must begin with at least one base other than G in either of the first two cycles. If an Index Read begins with two base calls of G, no signal intensity is generated. Signal must be present in either of the first two cycles to ensure demultiplexing performance. When selecting indexes during run creation a low diversity warning will appear if the indexes do not meet diversity requirements. To prevent the low diversity warning, select index sequences that provide signal in both channels for every cycle. u Red channel--A or C Document # 1000000030329 v04 13 FOR IN VITRO DIAGNOSTIC USE Local Run Manager Germline Variant Analysis Module Workflow Guide for NextSeq 550Dx u Green channel--A or T This base calling process ensures accuracy when analyzing low-plex samples. For more information about the sequences of your indexes, see the package insert TruSeq Custom Amplicon Kit Dx (document # 1000000029772). During run creation in Local Run Manager you will choose the number of samples to be tested. Suggested index combinations that meet index diversity requirements are auto populated by the software. Although you are not required to use the suggested index combinations, it is recommended.
