The TruSight Tumor 170 bundle kits that contain NextSeq 500/550 v2 sequencing reagents (Catalog nos. OP-101-1003 and 20018621) have been discontinued. The TruSight Tumor 170 Kit with NextSeq v2.5 Reagents (Catalog no. 20028821) is the recommended replacement product. The TruSight Tumor 170 Kit Plus Watson for Genomics (Catalog no. 20018622) has also been discontinued. If you require that analysis, continue to work with IBM directly. Illumina remains committed to providing you with high-quality support and service.

Overview

TruSight Tumor 170 is an NGS assay that assesses 170 genes associated with common solid tumors.

  • Assess fusions, splice variants, insertions/deletions (indels) and single nucleotide variants (SNVs), and amplifications in one assay using DNA and RNA

  • Detect variants at 5% allele frequency with as little as 40 ng DNA and RNA input

  • Maximize results with reliable small variant detection from high- and low-quality FFPE samples

Comprehensive coverage of cancer-related variants

Maximize single-assay efficiency using DNA and RNA from a single sample to assess multiple variant types, preserving valuable tissue, time, and resources. Expert-selected evidence-based content provides researchers with comprehensive coverage of variants most likely to play a role in tumorigenesis.

Combined workflow for DNA and RNA

DNA and RNA libraries are prepared, sequenced, and analyzed simultaneously for efficient assessment of numerous types of somatic variants.

Streamlined data analysis

Use the TruSight Tumor 170 App on BaseSpace Sequence Hub for sequencing data analysis and management. Local secondary analysis is available on a Docker-based software.

Gene content in the TruSight Tumor 170 assay

TruSight tumor 170 targets all coding exons per the current RefSeq database1 in 170 genes. The content includes 55 genes for fusions and splice variants, 148 SNVs and indels, and 59 amplifications.

Combined library prep workflow

DNA and RNA samples follow the same workflow, after the cDNA synthesis step (for RNA) and the shearing step (for DNA).

Target coverage from FFPE samples

DNA from FFPE samples of varying quality was extracted and evaluated using TruSight Tumor 170 and sequenced on the NextSeq 500 System. Sample quality was assessed using qPCR to measure DNA amplification potential. The ΔCq value indicates the cycle threshold (Ct) value of each DNA sample minus the Ct value of a DNA standard.

FAQs

During library prep and enrichment, the DNA and RNA samples go through the same workflow following sample shearing (DNA) and cDNA synthesis (RNA). This results in the ability to process the DNA and RNA samples in parallel. The DNA and RNA libraries can then be sequenced on the same sequencing run.

Extraction reagents are not included in the TruSight Tumor 170 kit. The QIAGEN AllPrep DNA/RNA FFPE Kit (Catalog no. 80234) has demonstrated high yields of nucleic acids in comparison to other extraction methods for this assay. The QIAGEN AllPrep DNA/RNA FFPE Kit includes a DNase I digestion step during RNA extraction. You can select other commercially available extraction kits at your discretion.

TruSight Tumor 170 performance has been verified on the NextSeq 500 and NextSeq 550 Systems, and on the HiSeq 2500 System in rapid run mode.

Illumina recommends adding a minimum of 40 ng of DNA or RNA. For samples that are highly degraded, assay performance may be improved by using a maximum of 120 ng of DNA and 85 ng of RNA.

Coverage may vary based on sample quality and multiplexing level. Please review the DNA_SampleMetricsReport.txt and RNA_SampleMetricsReport.txt files produced by the TruSight Tumor 170 app for each analysis. This report contains a metric indicating the percent bases with > 100× coverage. A sequencing run with 8 high-quality DNA and 8 high-quality RNA samples (16 libraries) has demonstrated ≥ 99% bases with 100× coverage.

Use the TruSight Tumor 170 app available in BaseSpace Sequence Hub cloud environment or a local Docker App to analyze TruSight Tumor 170 libraries.
