External quality assessment for your Next Generation Sequencing workflow

The European Molecular Genetics Quality Network (EMQN) and Genomics Quality Assessment (GenQA) provide an external quality assessment (EQA) for next generation sequencing workflows for both germline and somatic testing. This enables laboratories to measure the quality of their NGS data and benchmark against other laboratories providing similar services.

EMQN and GenQA have partnered with Euformatics to provide the omnomicsQ direct feedback mechanism by which the quality of the data can be checked at submission so laboratories are immediately notified if their data is not compatible with the EQA assessment process. The submitted data will be subsequently analysed with omnomicsQ to determine metrics indicating the quality of the NGS data. This enables the laboratory to follow changes in NGS quality over time, by chemistry, by protocol or by instrument. Regular EQA monitoring helps validating and improving NGS workflows, benchmarking QC metrics as well as identifying critical changes at an early stage.
