User Guide to Oncomine Automation

Workflow from run initiation to review of annotated variants

• Annotate variants from the oncomine annotator
• Focus on variants of interest
• Visualize and interpret variants
• Link variants to relevant clinical evidence

Software required:

1. python3

Python is a high-level, interpreted, general-purpose programming language. It is used to execute automated tasks and conduct data analysis.

2. watchdog

Python API library and shell utilities to monitor file system events.

3. ion_automation

An in-house automated workflow to generate quality control plots/reports and select variants from Oncomine Focus and Myeloid Assay NGS sequencing data.

Step by step guide to generate MyeloSeq automated report

1. create a new folder in the /Molecular/IonTorrent/myeloseqer_test/amplicon.dropout.dropoff folder for the run.
2. copy basecall QC matrix files from /MOLECULAR LAB ONLY/NYU-MyeloSeqer/Patient data to amplicon.dropout.dropoff
3. get a copy of the myeloseq worksheet for the run from the MOLECULAR LAB ONLY/NYU-MyeloSeqer/Worksheets-Wetlab folder
4. drop the worksheet to the worksheet.dropoffs subfolder under the IonTorrent folder on the Molecular shared drive

Note: The workflow automatically starts in a few seconds. It takes up to 10~30 minutes to generate QC plots/reports, to select confident calls, and to save filtered variants in a csv and excel format

5. copy CSV and dropout reports to the /MOLECULAR LAB ONLY/NYU-MyeloSeqer/Patient data

Step by step guide to generate Oncomine Solid automated report

1. copy basecall QC matrix files from /MOLECULAR LAB ONLY/NYU-MyeloSeqer/Patient data to /Molecular/IonTorrent/oncosolid_autoreport/amplicon.dropout.dropoff
2. get a copy of the myeloseq worksheet for the run from the MOLECULAR LAB ONLY/Oncomine Patient Data/Worksheets-Wetlab folder
3. drop the worksheet of the run to the worksheet subfolder under the IonTorrent folder on the Molecular shared drive

Note: The workflow automatically starts in a few seconds. It takes up to 10~20 minutes to generate QC plots/reports, to select confident calls, and to save filtered variants in a csv and excel format

4. copy CSV and dropout reports to the /MOLECULAR LAB ONLY/Oncomine Patient Data/Patient data

Step by step guide to generate report manually

Maintaining automated workflow

1. ion_report workflow

1. ssh to bigpurple with your Kerberos ID
2. log into the ionreporter server as an admin user
3. change to the ion_report directory
4. start or stop the ion_watchdog daemon process

ssh [email protected]
cd /home/ionadmin/myeloseq_report
sh ion_watchdog.sh start [stop]

2. myelo_report workflow

1. ssh to bigpurple with your Kerberos ID
2. log into the ionreporter server as an admin user
3. change to the myeloseq_report directory
4. start or stop the myelo_watchdog daemon process

ssh [email protected]
cd /home/ionadmin/myeloseq_report
sh myelo_watchdog.sh start [stop]
