A Detection of mouse DNA contamination in PDX model whole-exome sequencing (WES) data using FastQ Screen (n primary regions = 108, n PDX samples = 99). The box plot represents the upper and lower quartiles (box limits), the median (center line) and the whiskers span 1.5*IQR. Two-sided Wilcoxon rank sum test, p value as indicated. B Overview of PDX-unique non-driver mutations called in PDX models from two or more patients after using the mm10 reference genome (GRCm38; left) or a NOD scid gamma mouse-adapted (NSG-adapted) reference genome (right) for mouse WES read removal. C Percentage of genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphisms (total = 7,333,533) identified as non-concordant in whole-genome sequencing data from an NSG mouse, compared to the mm10 (GRCm38) reference genome.
