FY2013 Annual Report
Abstract
The mission of the DNA Sequencing Section (hereinafter referred to as SQC) is to promote advances in biological science by providing researchers in genomic analyses with the latest and most advanced technologies. SQC offers OIST researchers next-generation sequencing (hereinafter abbreviated as NGS) services in a wide range of NGS applications including de novo genome sequencing, re-sequencing, RNA sequencing, ChIP sequencing and bisulfite sequencing. We help researchers with their planning, library preparation, library quantification and subsequent sequencing. The major achievements/updates in the fiscal year 2013 are as following:
a) Members and NGS platform
- 1 technical staff joined in May.
- 3 instruments of Roche 454 GS FLX titanium were upgraded to FLX+, which enabled us to perform
longer-read sequencing.
- 1 instrument of Illumina HiSeq 2000 was upgraded to HiSeq2500 in July, which enabled us to
perform Rapid Run mode sequencing.
- 1 instrument of Illumina MiSeq was installed in October.
b) Activities
- Bisulfate library preparation and sequencing service had started.
- SQC had provided our services to 11 units including 1 new unit.
c) Publications
- 8 papers, SQC members listed in author
- 1 paper, SQC appeared in acknowledgement
- 4 application notes described by SQC
- 10 oral presentations including 3 invited talks
- 4 poster presentations
d) Meetings and Events
- 2 meeting of Okinawa NGS technical exchange were held.
- 1 training session was organized by SQC (OIST internal).

2.2 Other activities
2.2.1 Application Note
SQC provided manufacturers with the results of analysis for quality improvement of library preparation or sequencing using their newly-marketed instruments. The methods and the results were introduced at application note issued by each manufacturer. (See. 4.2 Books and other on-time publications)
2.2.2 Technical Exchange Meeting of Okinawa NGS
Continuing from 2012, we had the periodic meeting of NGS-technical exchange among the following four institutes/universities in Okinawa: Okinawa Industrial Technology Center, Okinawa Prefectural Agricultural Research Center, the University of the Ryukyus (Tropical Biosphere Research Center and Faculty of Medicine), and us (OIST SQC). The meeting was held twice in FY2013 (See 6. Meetings and Events).
2.2.3 Genome Resources Committee
In December 2013, Genome Resources Committee has been launched for deliberating and making recommendations on the policies of utilization and scheduling, and future plans of equipment and infrastructure for all genome sequencing and analysis resources funded by OIST. SQC is ensured by the committee to deliver the best possible service and support to meet genomic analysis requirements at OIST.
