Methods and systems for nucleic acid sequencing validation, calibration and normalization
First Claim
1. A system for performing quality control for nucleic acid sample sequencing, the system comprising:
- a set of solid supports, each solid support having attached thereto one or more nucleic acid sequences comprising a plurality of nucleic acid molecules,wherein the set comprises plural groups of solid supports and each group contains solid supports having same ones of the one or more nucleic acid sequences attached thereto,wherein the plural groups of solid supports are divided into a plurality of subsets,wherein the one or more nucleic acid sequences are attached such that, when nucleic acid sample sequencing is performed, all possible color transitions are observed for consecutive ligation cycles for each subset of the plural groups of solid supports,wherein the one or more nucleic acid sequences of each group differ from the one or more nucleic acid sequences each other groups,wherein the one or more nucleic acid sequences are synthetically derived, andwherein the one or more nucleic acid sequences produce a predefined pattern of detectable signals during a sequencing run.

Abstract
A system for performing quality control for nucleic acid sample sequencing is disclosed. The system comprises a set of solid supports, each solid support having attached thereto a plurality of nucleic acid sequences, wherein the set comprises plural groups of solid supports and each group contains solid supports having the same nucleic acid sequences attached thereto. The nucleic acid sequences of each group differ from each other. The nucleic acid sequences are synthetically derived, and the nucleic acids sequences are designed such that the nucleic acid sequences produce a predefined pattern of detectable signals during a sequencing run. A method of preparing a quality control for performing nucleic acid sample sequencing, a method of validating a nucleic acid sequencing instrument during a nucleic acid sequencing experiment, and a method of processing nucleic acid sequencing data during a nucleic acid sequencing experiment are also disclosed.
