1 Introducing the Applied Biosystems TM Precision ID NGS System for Human Identification Sheri J. Olson Director, Product Management Casework Human Identification

2 Current challenges for forensic scientists Difficult mixture interpretations Partial or no profiles from highly degraded or trace samples No STR profile matches in DNA database Unknown tissue/ body fluid origin Complex kinship cases and/or familial searches Laborious sequencing of mtdna by CE 2

3 NGS is a KEY to getting more information for forensics Sequencing allows greater depth of genetic information Multiplexing hundreds of the same markers i.e. SNPs Multiplex different types of markers: SNP+ STR Simultaneously analyze multiple samples (barcoding) Target small amplicons to recover DNA with challenging samples Massively Parallel Sequencing 3

4 Forensic customers needs for NGS Low input validated workflows Easy sequencing workflow for a forensic lab I don t want to have to remap my entire lab workflow Data storage solutions for cloud & non-cloud labs Easy to use and interpret data analysis Forensically relevant content for my region 4

5 Future of Forensics: CE + NGS = Integrated forensics workflow 50-70% of Casework STR by CE Analysis GMID-X DNA Extraction Quantification By qpcr Converge Platform Mixtures Degraded Investigative leads Precision ID NGS System Brings CE + NGS data together NGS will not displace CE for the foreseeable future Position NGS for difficult samples Integrate NGS into current workflow Create integrated NGS workflow 5

6 HID NGS System: Simplest sequencing workflow Applied Biosystems Precision ID System Ion Chef System Ion S5 and S5 XL Sequencing Systems Torrent Suite Software and Converge Genomic DNA Construct library Prepare template Massively parallel sequencing Analyze data 6

7 Precision ID System: The future of forensics Ion Chef System Ion S5/S5 XL System Dual Function: -Ion AmpliSeq Library (15 mins) Template Preparation (15 mins) Sequencing Only 3-5 pipetting steps per sample from DNA to data Optimized workflow efficiency for targeted sequencing Pipette Sample and primer pools into the Ion Chef for library prep Load Cartridge into the Ion Chef Pipette library into the Ion Chef for templating, enrichment, chip loading Load Cartridge into the Ion Chef Transfer Chip to Ion S5 for Sequencing 7

8 Precision ID System: Ion Chef Automated Workflow Run Ion AmpliSeq Panel on Ion Chef System Run Templating on Ion Chef System Load Sequencer Target Amplification Bead templation Remove chips chips from from Ion Chef and System load onto and load Ion onto PGM Ion PGM or Ion Proton Instrument System or Ion S5 System Digestion and Ligation Enrichment Equalizer Chip Loading 8

9 Precision ID System: Ion Chef System Automated Workflows For Walk-Away Convenience Single use reagent cartridges prepackaged and ready to go Automated system cleaning following an instrument run, clear the deck and start the system cleaning function to minimize potential contamination Intuitive graphic user interface after loading your library, samples, reagents and consumables on the deck, simply select the run parameters on the touch-screen interface and hit go. On board reagent tracking 2D bar codes associated with all reagents and consumables minimize the potential for user error and ensure every run is set up correctly. Confidence In Sequencing Results Ion Chef automation helps to eliminate much of the day to day variation that exists in manual lab workflows to provide consistent results run-to-run & day-to-day 9

10 Precision ID System: Ion S5 and S5 XL Systems Simplest and Fastest targeted sequencing system with the lowest capital investment Simplest NGS workflow for targeted sequencing <15mins to set up a sequencing run <45mins total hands-on time from DNA to data with Ion Chef System Fastest run time 3.5 hours from sequence to BAM files. Lowest capital investment Single platform for all targeted applications with flexibility to scale from 5M - 80M reads Lowest DNA/RNA input requirements 1-10ng using Ion AmpliSeq technology <1ng for HID applications coming soon Easy setup and training Single day installation and plug and play cartridgebased reagents 10
