Mobile Genome Express (MGE): A comprehensive automatic genetic analyses pipeline with a mobile device

Abstract

The development of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology allows to sequence whole exomes or genome. However, data analysis is still the biggest bottleneck for its wide implementation. Most laboratories still depend on manual procedures for data handling and analyses, which translates into a delay and decreased efficiency in the delivery of NGS results to doctors and patients. Thus, there is high demand for developing an automatic and an easy-to-use NGS data analyses system. We developed comprehensive, automatic genetic analyses controller named Mobile Genome Express (MGE) that works in smartphones or other mobile devices. MGE can handle all the steps for genetic analyses, such as: sample information submission, sequencing run quality check from the sequencer, secured data transfer and results review. We sequenced an Actrometrix control DNA containing multiple proven human mutations using a targeted sequencing panel, and the whole analysis was managed by MGE, and its data reviewing program called ELECTRO. All steps were processed automatically except for the final sequencing review procedure with ELECTRO to confirm mutations. The data analysis process was completed within several hours. We confirmed the mutations that we have identified were consistent with our previous results obtained by using multi-step, manual pipelines.

Identification of the Rice Wines with Different Marked Ages by Electronic Nose Coupled with Smartphone and Cloud Storage Platform

“…Principal components analysis (PCA) explains the maximum variance of the data set with the least number of major components without significant loss of information [ 29 ]. The explanation of the maximum information of the samples is presented in the form of scores which were applied to detect sample patterns, groupings and similarities or differences between the substrates evaluated [ 30 ].…”

Microfluidics and the Spirits Industry: A Review

“…Sensors can detect ammonia, methane, butane, propane, trimethylamine, methyl mercaptan, and other volatile organic components, which can be utilized for categorization and prediction analysis. To categorize data, various data processing algorithms were utilized, including principal components analysis (PCA), locally linear embedding (LLE), and linear discriminant analysis (LDA) [94][95][96]. To anticipate different marked ages of the wines, partial least squares regression (PLSR) and support vector machine (SVM) were applied as machine learning algorithms [97,98].…”
