GIST Research Updates: May 2012• Corless
– Will discuss new technologies for DNA sequencing– The goal is to further subclassify GISTs and better
understand the genes that contribute to malignancy
• Heinrich– Will discuss studies aimed at understanding how
to kill persistent GIST cells that imatinib and sunitinib cannot always control
‘Next Generation’ DNA Sequencing
• Traditional DNA sequencing is limited to just one part of one gene at a time
• Second- and third-generation DNA sequencers are now available at OHSU
• We have been using these new technologies to study GISTs
Second-Generation DNA Sequencing
Sequencing GIST ‘Exomes’
• Human genome consists of 3.2 billion letters (A, C, T, G)
• Genes comprise only ~2% of our DNA (about 64 million letters)
• We ‘pre-select’ the genes, so that only the 64 million letters of interest get sequenced – this is the ‘exome’
• Cost: $2,000 per sample

GIST AnalysisUsing Third-Generation DNA Sequencing• The Knight Labs have
partnered with Ion Torrent/Life Tech on the development of genotyping panels using third-generation DNA sequencing technology
• Sequencing is performed on a semiconductor chip
