Microsatellite instability (MSI) is associated with hypermutability of short DNA sequence repeats and is related to defects in the mismatch repair (MMR) system. MSI has been observed in diverse cancer types – including, but not limited to colorectal, gastric and endometrial cancers. Research studies have shown MSI-High to be predictive of response to immunotherapy. The Ion AmpliSeq™ Microsatellite Instability Research Panel contains a single primer pool that amplifies a total of 76 amplicons to assess the MSI status from DNA from formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) human cancer tissue sections. This panel is compatible with Ion AmpliSeq™ Kit 2.0 and Ion AmpliSeq™ Kit Plus User Guide Protocols. To analyze the sequencing output from this panel, a Torrent Suite plugin under the name “MSICall” is available on the Themo Fisher Scientific Plugin store.See panel README for more information.

Summary:
This panel analyses clinically relevant targets for identification of specific methylation patterns within a DNA sample. The panel contains 40 amplicons (including 2 control amplicons) to detect methylation status of 38 targets including targets associated with colon cancer, prostate cancer, Leukemia, and lymphoma.
Ion AmpliSeq™ Methylation Panel for Cancer Research analyzes clinically relevant targets using the bisulfite method for identifying specific methylation patterns within a DNA or FFPE DNA sample. With low DNA input, the panel provides high accuracy, ease of use, and short time to answer. This Ion AmpliSeq™ Methylation Panel protocol combines a one day bisulfite kit protocol with the one day Ion AmpliSeq™ Library Kit Plus protocol to create (NGS) libraries for target DNA methylation assessment during sequencing. Consult the bisulfite methylation library construction protocol using the Ion AmpliSeq™ Library Kit Plus and the protocol using the Ion AmpliSeq™ Kit for Chef DL8 for detailed instructions. The panel contains one pool containing 40 amplicons (including 2 control amplicons) to detect methylation status of 38 targets including targets associated with colon cancer, prostate cancer, leukemia, and lymphoma as published in Bock et al. 2016. The DNA methylation targets, evaluated in this technology benchmarking study by the BLUEPRINT Consortium, are highly validated to be reproducible and reliable cancer biomarkers by multiple assays, and therefore this panel serves as a targeted DNA methylation cancer panel and a reliable technical as well as biological reference. To analyze the sequencing output from this panel, a Torrent Suite plugin under the name “methylation_analysis” is available on the Themo Fisher Scientific Plugin store. For research use only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.

Description of the plugin: The methylation_analysis plugin performs alignment and methylation calling for amplicons on both the Watson (W) and Crick (C) strands. Each amplicon may have zero, one or more designated CpG targets (hotspots) of interest. A summary report shows each barcode name along with the sample name, the total number of reads covering the target CpGs, and the percentage of those reads that are methylated. In addition, for each barcode, text files are generated giving the number of methylated reads, unmethylated reads and percent methylation for each amplicon. There are separate text files for the designated target CpGs, all CpGs in the amplicon insert and all non CpG Cs in the amplicon insert. This plugin has been tested using the Ion AmpliSeq™ Methylation Panel for Cancer Research only. If you choose to use this plugin for any panel other than the Ion AmpliSeq™ Methylation Panel for Cancer Research you must validate it for your purposes. We can’t attest to the quality of the results with a custom panel. This product is labeled For research use only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.
*Based on the data from the 6 control samples of commercially available human methylated & unmethylated DNA standard set. The DNA standards are purified from HCT116 DKO cells that contain genetic knockouts of DNA methyltransferases, DNMT1 (-/-) and DNMT3b (-/-) , and the unmethylated standard has less than 5% methylated DNA. The human methylated DNA standard has been methylated enzymatically at all CpG dinucleotides by M. SssI methyltransferase.

Summary:
The Ion AmpliSeq™ MH-74 Plex Research Panel is a 157 – 325 bp assay covering 74 microhaplotypes (230 SNPs) selected from a set of 130 microhaplotypes previously characterized by the Kidd Laboratory.
The analysis of alternative marker types can complement CE-STR results for challenging samples, such as complex mixtures or degraded samples, to generate investigative leads. Microhaplotypes have arisen as an alternative marker to traditional STR-CE typing due to the additive enhanced mixture analysis and biogeographical ancestry prediction capabilities that favor its use for forensic samples. The Ion AmpliSeq™ MH-74 Plex Research Panel is a 157 – 325 bp assay covering 74 microhaplotypes (230 SNPs) selected from a set of 130 microhaplotypes previously characterized by the Kidd Laboratory1. Microhaplotypes were selected based on high Ae (effective number of alleles) and In (informativeness) values to enhance mixture deconvolution and biogeographic ancestry prediction capabilities. Oldoni et al demonstrate sensitivity down to 50 pg of genomic DNA (gDNA) and the utility of the assay in analyzing complex mixtures to complement CE-STR typing results

Summary:
The Ophthalmic Research Panel (Mendelian disease panel affected by single gene disorders), was developed as a quick, accurate and cost-effective method to identify genetic mutations associated with inherited blindness or other impairments of vision. The panel assesses 316 genes known to harbor mutations causal of vision impairment.
It can be difficult to identify specific genetic causes of vision impairment because of pleiotropy, locus heterogeneity and accessibility of gene tests. The panel was developed as a quick, accurate and cost-effective method to identify genetic mutations associated with inherited blindness or other impairments of vision. The panel assesses 316 genes known to harbor mutations causal of vision impairment. In addition to targeting all coding regions, an additional 50 non-coding disease-causing loci are targeted, as well as special coverage of two repeat expansion regions, in genes CNBP and ATXN7.

The designed BED files show the amplified regions of the panel. These files are used for data analysis with the Torrent Variant Caller Plug-In. (See Data Analysis section below)
HotSpot BED file
The HotSpot BED file specifies the regions of known mutations with allele specific information such as the (REF) reference, (OBS) observed, and (ANCHOR) anchor fields. The coordinate after the anchor base is used for matching of indels.*
Currently, these BED files are only currently available for analysis with the Cancer Panel v1, Cancer Panel v2, and the Comprehensive Cancer Panel. The Inherited Disease Panel does not have an associated HotSpot file as it is not cancer-research focused (and does not have COSMIC ids).
* Note: To avoid the issue of ambiguous right alignment of indel calling, hotspot BED files are left aligned for optimal performance when used with Torrent Variant Caller.
Data Analysis in Torrent Browser
To run data analysis in the Torrent Browser, first upload both the designed BED and hotspots BED files. In the case of the "Ion AmpliSeq™ Pan-Bacterial Research Panel" and the "Ion AmpliSeq™ Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Research Panel", the panel files cannot be directly imported into the the Torrent Browser using the upload function or by direct import of the files. Please use the appropriate plugin for analysis purposes.
For Torrent Suite Software 4.x and 5.x
Go to the Reference section (in the gear menu drop down list). In the left navigation tabs, click Target Regions, then click Add New Target Regions and upload your file.
For hotspots, in the left navigation tabs, click Hotspots, then click Add Hotspots and upload your file.
The plan.json file for the Ion AmpliSeq Exome Hi-Q panel has been improved to include updated parameters compatible with Torrent Suite 5.2. These new parameters seek to improve our variant calling performance when using the Hi-Q enzyme with the Ion AmpliSeq Exome panel on the P1 and 540 chips. As part of the update, 4 new parameter.json files have been added to the download zip file to support backwards compatibility with previous versions of Torrent Suite such as 4.6 and 5.0 in a modularized way.
For Torrent Suite Software 3.x
Go to the Reference section (in the gear menu drop down list), and click on hg19. Under the Available BED Files section, click the Upload BED files button. Check the box to indicate it is a HotSpot file.

Summary:
The Ion AmpliSeq™ Inborn Errors of Metabolism Research Panel v2 provides a quick, accurate and cost effective way to identify genetic mutations associated with inherited metabolic disorders. The panel assesses 594 genes known to harbor mutations affecting metabolic function.
Research to identify specific genetic causes of metabolic disorders is important but can be difficult because of pleiotropy, locus heterogeneity and accessibility of information. The Ion AmpliSeq™ Inborn Errors of Metabolism Research Panel v2 was designed based on extensive curation of peer-reviewed literature, disease research databases and consultation with key opinion leaders.
