Evaluation of the MGISEQ-2000 Sequencing Platform for Illumina Target Capture Sequencing Libraries.

ABSTRACT: Illumina is the leading sequencing platform in the next-generation sequencing (NGS) market globally. In recent years, MGI Tech has presented a series of new sequencers, including DNBSEQ-T7, MGISEQ-2000 and MGISEQ-200. As a complex application of NGS, cancer-detecting panels pose increasing demands for the high accuracy and sensitivity of sequencing and data analysis. In this study, we used the same capture DNA libraries constructed based on the Illumina protocol to evaluate the performance of the Illumina Nextseq500 and MGISEQ-2000 sequencing platforms. We found that the two platforms had high consistency in the results of hotspot mutation analysis; more importantly, we found that there was a significant loss of fragments in the 101-133 bp size range on the MGISEQ-2000 sequencing platform
