Monday, March 1, 2021

OmniTier announced today that its CompStor family now supports mitochondrial analysis in both its secondary and tertiary analysis appliances.

Key Points: 
  • OmniTier announced today that its CompStor family now supports mitochondrial analysis in both its secondary and tertiary analysis appliances.
  • Variant calling on the mitochondrial genome must overcome additional challenges that are not present in standard nuclear genome analysis.
  • Because mitochondrial DNA is circular, standard linear analysis produces errors at the ostensible extremities of the mitochondrial sequence.
  • In addition, the number of types of mitochondrial DNA that may be present in a single sample is not simply bounded.
