Product information

IMPORTANT! Before using this product, read and understand the information in the “Safety” appendix

in this document.

Product description

The Oncomine™ Myeloid MRD Assay (RUO) contains Ion AmpliSeq™ HD oligonucleotide primers and

associated reagents to generate amplicon libraries for next-generation sequencing (NGS) on an Ion

GeneStudio™ S5 Series system. The assay contains 3 panels, the Oncomine™ Myeloid MRD DNA

Panel, Oncomine™ Myeloid MRD RNA Panel, and the Oncomine™ Myeloid MRD MHT Panel. The

assay is designed to detect variants across 33 key genes and a broad range of fusions based on

43 fusion driver gene targets relevant in major myeloid disorders: acute myeloid leukemia (AML),

myeloid dysplastic syndrome (MDS), myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN), chronic myeloid leukemia

(CML), chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML), and juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML).

This highly sensitive method enables detection of low numbers of cancer cells known as measurable

residual disease (MRD). An optional microhaplotyping (MHT) panel also enables chimerism analysis of

donor/recipient DNA mixtures in post-transplantation samples.

Features include:

•Compatible with 60 ng/pool input DNA or 10 ng RNA per library from blood or bone marrow

samples

•Excellent coverage of challenging targets such as CEBPA and FLT3-ITDs

•Veriﬁed detection of somatic variants down to 0.1% allele frequency

Designed for research use only (RUO), the Oncomine™ Myeloid MRD Assay (RUO) is a comprehensive,

targeted NGS assay designed to help research scientists in the understanding of myeloid cancer. The

assay is a complete kit facilitating the ampliﬁcation of multiple gene targets from blood or bone marrow

samples with as little as 60 ng of input DNA per pool or 10 ng RNA. Leveraging the power of error-

correcting Ion AmpliSeq™ HD technology, this highly multiplexed NGS assay enables the generation

of results from multiple samples (4 DNA samples or 12 RNA samples on a single Ion 540™ Chip,

or 6 DNA samples or 18 RNA samples on an Ion 550™ Chip) with a single run. The DNA and RNA

assays can be run together or separately. The assay is aligned with bioinformatic analysis workﬂows

in Ion Reporter™ Software that utilize optimized variant-calling parameters for SNV, InDel, FLT3 internal

tandem duplication (ITD) detection, and microhaplotyping (MHT)-based chimerism analysis. For more

information, see “Molecular tag sequencing technology—Important factors” on page92. Torrent

Suite™ software is used to set up sequencing runs for primary analysis with plugins.

Before you begin

Prerequisites

IMPORTANT! This kit is compatible with Torrent Suite™ Software and Ion Reporter™ Software versions

5.18 or later. However, we recommend upgrading to Ion Reporter™ Software 5.20, as Ion Reporter™

Software 5.20 is required to enable the data analysis described. Results from runs can be automatically

uploaded to Ion Reporter™ Software, where you can view data and visualizations for further analysis.

Before proceeding, check for updates to the Torrent Suite™ Software, Ion Reporter™ Software, and

IonChef™ System instrument software, and install the updates when available. Contact a service

representative for help with software upgrades.

Users require a functional knowledge and understanding in the following areas:

•Ion Torrent™ sequencing chemistry and workﬂow (See “Related documentation” on page97 for

more information)

•Techniques for handling and preparing DNA and RNA libraries

Procedural guidelines

IMPORTANT! Do not combine FWD and REV primer subpools for storage. Primer subpools must

remain separate until they are combined during the reaction setup.

•Minimize freeze-thaw cycles of Oncomine™ Myeloid MRD Assay (RUO) panels by aliquoting primer

subpools for your experiments. Panels can be stored 4°C for 1 month. For longer term, store at

−20°C.

•Use a calibrated thermal cycler that is speciﬁed in “Required materials not supplied” on page13.

•Pipet viscous solutions, such as 4X Ion AmpliSeq™ HD Ampliﬁcation Mix, Ion AmpliSeq™ HD SUPA

Reagent, and HD Enhancer slowly. After thawing the capped tubes, ensure complete mixing by

vortexing for 10 seconds.

•Arrange samples in alternating columns on the plate for easier pipetting with multichannel pipettes

during puriﬁcation with the DynaMag™–96 Side Magnet or other plate magnet.

•Prepare fresh 70% ethanol each day.

•Use the default ramping rate when entering the cycling program for the following thermal cyclers.

–Veriti™ 96‑Well Thermal Cycler

–Veriti™ Dx 96‑well Thermal Cycler

–VeritiPro™ 96-well Thermal Cycler

–SimpliAmp™ Thermal Cycler

–ProFlex™ Thermal Cycler

Before each use of the kit

Thaw components that contain enzymes—such as 4X Ion AmpliSeq™ HD Ampliﬁcation Mix, and

Ion AmpliSeq™ HD SUPA Reagent—on ice, and keep them on ice during the procedure. All other

components, including primer subpools and 5X HD Enhancer, can be thawed at room temperature.

Gently vortex, then centrifuge each kit component to collect the contents before use.

Guidelines for preventing contamination

•Use good laboratory practices to minimize cross-contamination of products. If possible, perform

PCR setup in an area or room that is free of amplicon contamination. Always change pipette tips

between samples.

•When preparing libraries, we recommend alternating barcodes between consecutive sequencing

runs to prevent carryover contamination. The following table provides an example.

Note: If you are using an NTC library, the number of libraries per chip shown in the following table

include the NTC library. For example, for DNA libraries on an Ion 550™ Chip, either 6 positive libraries or

5 libraries + 1 NTC library can be loaded on the chip.

Create a Planned Run in Torrent

Suite™ Software

IMPORTANT! This kit is compatible with Torrent Suite™ Software and Ion Reporter™ Software versions

5.18 or later. However, we recommend upgrading to Ion Reporter™ Software 5.20, as Ion Reporter™

Software 5.20 is required to enable the data analysis described. Results from runs can be automatically

uploaded to Ion Reporter™ Software, where you can view data and visualizations for further analysis.

Before proceeding, check for updates to the Torrent Suite™ Software, Ion Reporter™ Software, and

IonChef™ System instrument software, and install the updates when available. Contact a service

representative for help with software upgrades.

Torrent Suite™ Software Planned Run templates

Planned Run templates contain the settings that are used in a sequencing run, including the number of

ﬂows, kit types, barcodes, sample information, and any reference ﬁles. Planned Runs are used to track

samples, chips, and reagents throughout the sequencing workﬂow, from template preparation on the

IonChef™ Instrument through sequencing on the Ion GeneStudio™ S5 Series System and subsequent

data analysis. Each chip that is prepared in an IonChef™ Instrument run requires its own Planned Run.

Torrent Suite™ Software 5.18 or later contains 12 Planned Run templates for use with the Oncomine™

Myeloid MRD Assay (RUO).

•Six Planned Run templates are for variant detection only. The following templates are designed

to detect variants across 33 key DNA genes and a broad panel of 43 fusion driver gene targets

relevant in major myeloid disorders.

–Oncomine™ Myeloid MRD DNA for 540

–Oncomine™ Myeloid MRD DNA for 550

–Oncomine™ Myeloid MRD Fusions for 540

–Oncomine™ Myeloid MRD Fusions for 550

–Oncomine™ Myeloid MRD DNA and Fusions for 540

–Oncomine™ Myeloid MRD DNA and Fusions for 550

•Six templates are for microhaplotype analysis combined with variant detection. For more

information, see “Microhaplotype analysis in Torrent Suite™ Software” on page27.
