PROGENEUS Next Generation Oncology Sequencing in your Laboratory Built by pioneers in cancer genomics and liquid biopsy approaches For Research Use Only. Not for iagnostic Purposes.
personalgenome.com/progeneus A comprehensive solution for in-house NGS testing and analysis PROGENEUS enables your research laboratory to build a comprehensive, customized NGS offering using the most sensitive and specific methods for identifying and analyzing sequence mutations and structural alterations. As NGS cancer testing becomes more widely adopted, laboratories seek to build their own high quality solution with off-the-shelf components. PROGENEUS facilitates the process to build a high quality testing solution by packaging a comprehensive suite of cancer NGS components including: Standard or customized tissue and plasma panels Variantx, an exquisitely sensitive and specific somatic alteration detection software package Proven laboratory methods and training Verification samples to enable rapid assay set-up Bioinformatics servers housed in your laboratory Live customer support and access to expert resources Unsurpassed limit of detection For tissue biopsies, PROGENEUS detects mutations below 5% mutation allele frequency (MAF) with high sensitivity, enabling labs using PROGENEUS to identify up to 20% more mutations than competing methods. For liquid biopsies, it can detect both mutations and translocations reliably down to 0.1% circulating tumor NA levels (ctna). More sensitive than traditional PCR-based tissue testing for low tumor purity samples Our proprietary target enrichment methods enable quantification of unique reads at any given position (distinct coverage) to accurately identify mutations from low tumor purity samples. PCR-based methods measure total coverage but not distinct coverage. The inability to calculate distinct coverage may compromise assay sensitivity and specificity, particularly when MAF is <20% which is typical with the low tumor purity samples common in some tumor types (e.g. NSCLC). More comprehensive than PCR-based tissue testing CancerPRO Tissue and Plasma panels detect sequence mutations, indels, copy number amplification, and translocations without requiring co-extraction of RNA to detect fusions. Flexible sample types with limited material PROGENEUS accommodates tissue (frozen or FFPE), NA, saliva, whole blood, and plasma. For tissue biopsies, NGS testing can be completed using as little as 50ng ( 20% tumor purity) of NA. For liquid biopsies, minimum NA input is just 10 ng or as little as 1 ml of plasma collected in ETA or Streck tubes. Allows for tumor only or tumor/ normal testing approaches PROGENEUS is also the only solution that allows for analysis of a tumor to a matched normal sample, reducing the incidence of germline mutations reported as candidate somatic mutations. Unsurpassed number of true calls used to optimize Variantx, our bioinformatics pipeline Variantx is the only bioinformatics pipeline validated and optimized against hundreds of millions of Sanger sequenced matched tumor/ normal base pair calls and over 10,000 fusion events delivering the lowest false positive rate and most accurate germline filter for NGS cancer testing. Cost-effective implementation For labs that aspire to run high-quality NGS testing with minimal R& investment, and interrogate all forms of oncogenic alterations, PROGENEUS provides the only fully supported and comprehensive platform solution. For Research Use Only. Not for iagnostic Purposes.
