1 Massively Parallel Sequencing and STR Typing Basics and Forensic Applications Bruce Budowle Institute of Applied Genetics Department of Molecular and Medical Genetics, University of North Texas Health Science Center Fort Worth, Texas USA

2 Outline Describe the technology/methodology Focus primarily on STRs and results to date Provide brief discussion on other markers Consider transfer to the laboratory Suggest additional forensic applications

3 DNA Typing Identification Associations Investigative leads Databases Demands High volume Lead to backlogs High throughput sample processing Special attention situations Expedites Technology developments and enhancements to meet demands

4 Current Forensic DNA Workflows CE-based systems Mainstay of DNA typing Limitations Low capacity for marker multiplexing Tend to multiplex one type of marker One sample per reaction Genotyping based on size only Complex mixture analyses Low depth sequencing coverage

5 Current Forensic DNA Workflows Decision trees required for marker set selection for various sample types Autosomal STRs Y STRs X STRs SNPs mtdna Markers provide no additional lead without a suspect or a database hit Need tests that provide additional investigative leads Ex: facial reconstruction; phenotype and ancestry markers; familial searching

6 The Human Genome Project Scale years ~40 Institutions 8-9X Coverage $3.8 Billion 350 = Human Genome Project - 10 years and cost $2.7 billion

8 Next Generation Sequencing NGS is no longer next generation, consider: Current Generation Sequencing Massively Parallel Sequencing (MPS)

9 Personalized Sequencing Genome Center Capabilities in the Forensic Laboratory

10 MPS Features Massively parallel sequencing Higher throughput Faster Depth of coverage Lower cost per nucleotide Reduction in error

11 MPS and Gold Standard Sanger Sequencing Difference in scale: hundreds of billions of bases vs. hundreds Each sequence is the product of a single molecule (individually or clonally interrogated) No a priori sequence knowledge required unless targeting specific regions Will likely target sequences (by PCR) for sensitivity of detection

12 Length Variations Length & Sequence Variations MPS and Forensic STR Gold Standard Capillary electrophoresis fragments (size differences) Targeted MPS ~13-24 markers 100s of Markers GTGTGATGTAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGGTGTGTG GTGTGATGTAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGGTGTGTG GTGTGATGTAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGGTGTGTG GTGTGATGTAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGGTGTGTG GTGTGATGTAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGGTGTGTG GTGTGATGTAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGGTGTGTG GTGTGATGTAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGGTGTGTG GTGTGATGTAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGATAGGTGTGTG Increasing size (bp) Massively parallel sequencing Fragments can overlap in size Read counts / noise

13 Size No Longer Matters With CE the marker amplicons tagged with the same fluor had to be different sizes and/or use of mobility modifiers Limits the number of loci that can be placed in a CE-based multiplex With MPS size [for detection purposes] is no longer an issue Each molecule is read independently Enables more markers to be analyzed simultaneously

14 Benefits of MPS in Forensics Real estate is no longer a concern Create a panel with all the markers to avoid having to choose a particular set Exploit SNP variation in current markers and flanking area of novel markers Integrate STRs and SNPs in the reference database allowing the needs of the analysis (or case evidence) to dictate the marker set used Increase success in typing results

15 Massively Parallel Sequencing Immediate goals Large battery of genetic markers can be analyzed simultaneously Far exceeding the current capacity of STRs of CE system Autosomal STRs, Y STRs, X STRs, and SNPs (~400 markers) mtdna Barcoding 16 to 384 (in theory) multiple individuals Economies of scale Can rival current costs of typing a modicum of STRs

16 Types of SNPs Individual Identification SNPs: SNPs that collectively give very low probabilities of two individuals having the same multisite genotype; individualization, High heterozygosity, low Fst Ancestry Informative SNPs: SNPs that collectively give a high probability of an individual s ancestry being from one part of the world or being derived from two or more areas of the world Lineage Informative SNPs: Sets of tightly linked SNPs that function as multiallelic markers that can serve to identify relatives with higher probabilities than simple di-allelic SNPs Phenotype Informative SNPs: SNPs that provide high probability that the individual has particular phenotypes, such as a particular skin color, hair color, eye color, etc. Pharmacogenetic SNPs molecular autopsy

57 Solid Phase Reversible Immobilization Purification/Size selection Selectively bind fragments based on ratio of beads to sample Paramagnetic bead technology Adjusting the ratio eliminates smaller or larger fragment sizes STRs have size ranges Balance between differential amplification of alleles and size selection

58 SPRI Results (n=3) Lower Bead Mixture Ratios (BMRs) recovered larger amplicons better, while higher ratios were better for recovering smaller amplicons No one BMR yielded a superior Allele Coverage Ratios (ACR) at all loci Selected the least spread of heterozygote ACRs per BMR Two out of three samples favored BMRs of 0.65 and 0.70

83 Value of Sequence Variation Increased discrimination power Use more data for stutter calculations Potentially enhanced mixture deconvolution Stutter v minor contributor at some loci Note that D5S818, D7S820, and D13S317 loci did not display allele sequence variation Detected by mass spectrometry Variants reside in flanking DNA (Oberacher et al, Hum. Mutat. 29 (2008) )

84 Conclusions Prototype NGS STR Multiplex System (18 loci) for MPS MinElute PCR Purification Kit was better for size selection A wide range of library input quantities could be used with no notable differences in the generated STR profile High depth of coverage and balanced ACRs can be obtained with input DNA 250 pg Similar to that typically observed in CE-based systems Input DNA as little as 62 pg could generate complete or nearly complete (i.e., limited allele drop-out) profiles Studies indicate that this STR multiplex and the Illumina MiSeq system can generate reliable DNA profiles at a sensitivity of detection level that is comparable to that of current CE-based approaches Think about selecting STRs that exhibit intra-allele variation!
