The Oncomine Tumor Mutation Load Assay is a targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) assay that provides an assessment of tumor mutation load and mutation signatures in a simple workflow. The assay provides reagents for library construction from two pools of multiplex PCR primers for preparation of amplicon libraries from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor samples without the need for a matched normal sample, using 10 ng of DNA per primer pool. This assay is designed to facilitate successful selection and identification of samples most likely to derive responses in cancer immunotherapy research.

Features:
• Enables accurate quantitation of somatic mutations to assess tumor mutation load
• Single tumor sample workflow reduces the need for a matched normal sample
• Efficient amplification from challenging samples with AmpliSeq technology
• Streamlined analysis with feature-rich visualization
• Efficient multiplexing of up to eight samples per Ion 540 Chip on the Ion S5 Systems

The Oncomine Tumor Mutation Load Assay, Chef-Ready Library Preparation, includes panel primers and reagents for automated library construction and normalization sufficient for 32 samples. This version of the assay is for automated library preparation using the Ion Chef System. For manual library preparation, please see Cat. No. A37909.

From sample to answer
The Oncomine Tumor Mutation Load Assay comes with optimized informatics and visualization software that provides a sample-to-answer solution. Run metrics can be assessed using a Torrent Suite plugin. The Ion Reporter analysis workflow utilizes a custom variant calling and germline variant filtering algorithm to accurately estimate somatic variants in cancer research samples. A detailed report is provided that includes the normalized mutation load (mutations/MB) and mutation signatures of the somatic variants, including percentage of mutations consistent with UV damage, tobacco smoke damage, de-amination, and specific substitutions.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

With the Oncomine Tumor Mutation Load Assay, do I need to adjust the PCR cycles based on sample type?

No, the Oncomine Tumor Mutation Load Assay is optimized for use with FFPE tissue. The in-house development of the assay specifically focused on three tissue types: melanoma, lung, and colon.

In the Oncomine Tumor Mutation Load Assay, can I get the total variant calls (i.e., not just somatic)?

Yes, total variant calls are quantified and reported by the Oncomine Tumor Mutation Load Assay workflow and a .vcf file of all called variants is available to download in the user interface.

In the Oncomine Tumor Mutation Load Assay, does the germline filter cover across different ancestry types?

Yes, germline filters cover across different ancestry types. They are not ethnicity-based, but are global population-based.

Can the Oncomine Tumor Mutation Load Assay (TML) workflow 2.0 be edited to run on other panels (such as Oncomine Comprehensive Assay v3)?

Yes, by following the instructions in the appendix of the User guide (https://assets.thermofisher.com/TFS-Assets/LSG/manuals/MAN0015885_OncomineComprehensiveAssay_v3_UG.pdf).

Can I run the Oncomine Comprehensive Assay BAM file through the Ion Reporter workflow for the Oncomine Tumor Mutation Load (TML) Assay?

Yes, Oncomine Comprehensive Assay BAM files can be used with the Oncomine TML workflow. Targets that are not in Oncomine TML workflow will just be discarded during the analysis.
