Genomic EQA Directory

Overview:

In response to participant demand, GenQA offers several EQAs to assess the standard of testing by Next Generation Sequencing (NGS).

The NGS EQAs are available for both germline (SNVs/small indels and CNVs) and somatic testing (small variants only). They are designed to allow participation using any NGS platform or technology and assess the quality of routine sequencing tests from a single gene to a panel, exome or whole genome. Results are submitted as routine file formats (VCF, BED, FASTQ, BAM) and participants can submit up to three different data sets per EQA.
 

These EQAs are supported by our suite of sample/online EQAs covering analysis and interpretation of variants for specific disorders and conditions.  

Summary Information:

EQAs delivered in accordance with the international standard ISO 17043 for proficiency testing providers.

Assess the quality of your NGS sequencing using any platform or technology, in germline and somatic samples.

• Use any platform and technology
• Test single gene, gene panels, exome sequencing and/or whole genome sequencing
• Submit up to 3 different data files per EQA (excluding germline CNV EQA)
• 8 weeks to submit results
• Each participating laboratory receives a review of their submitted data and EQA summary report detailing general findings, a summary of methodologies used and benchmarking against other laboratories worldwide.
