• Paediatric_and_adult_nasal_RNAseq___COVID19

  Understanding infectivity, progression and disease severity of COVID-19 in children. Understanding infectivity, progression and disease severity of COVID-19 in children: It has been observed that COVID-19 infection appears to present with reduced clinical severity and prevalence within children (<18 years) compared to adults. This project as part of a national collaborative initiative seeks to answer this question. This data is part of a pre-publication release. For information on the proper use of pre-publication data shared by the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute (including details of any publication moratoria), please see http://www.sanger.ac.uk/datasharing/

• Pathogenic Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) RNA splicing resolved by targeted RNAseq

  Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is caused by loss-of-function variants in the NF1 gene. Approximately 10% of these variants affect RNA splicing and are either missed by conventional DNA diagnostics or are misinterpreted by in silico splicing predictions. Therefore, a targeted RNAseq-based approach was designed to detect pathogenic RNA splicing and associated pathogenic DNA variants. an in-house developed tool (QURNAS) was used to calculate the enrichment score (ERS) for each splicing event. RNA enrichment of NF1 and SPRED1 was done using SPET (NUGEN - NF1 only) and using SureSelect (Agilent - NF1 and SPRED1).

• Human Developmental Biology Resource (HDBR) abnormal fetal samples

  The HDBR (www.hdbr.org) is a human embryonic and fetal tissue bank supplying registered researchers with access to these valuable research materials up to 22 weeks post-conception (PMC4640175). All of the samples collected are analysed for chromosomal abnormalities, and all samples with an abnormal phenotype are either analysed by SNP array, or exome sequenced. This dataset is generated from those abnormal samples that have been analysed by exome sequencing. To request access to this dataset, or if any researcher is interested in obtaining tissue from any of the samples HDBR collect, please email enquiries@hdbr.org.

• Integrative analysis of non-small cell lung cancer patient-derived xenografts identifies unique proteotypes associated with patient outcomes

  Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide. Only a fraction of NSCLC harbour actionable driver mutations and there is an urgent need for patient-derived model systems that will enable the development of new targeted therapies. NSCLC and other cancers display profound proteome remodelling compared to normal tissue that is not predicted by DNA or RNA analyses. We generated NSCLC patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) that recapitulate the histology and molecular features of primary NSCLC. Here, we completed whole exome sequencing on 122 NSCLC PDXs.

• scRNA-seq of patient-derived PDAC organoids and matched CAFs

  We established direct three-dimensional (3D) co-cultures of primary PDAC organoids and patient-matched CAFs. Single-cell RNA sequencing was performed for three organoid/CAF pairs in mono- and co-culture to uncover transcriptional changes induced by tumor-stroma interaction. Single-cell RNA sequencing data evidenced induction of a pro-inflammatory phenotype in CAFs in co-cultures. Organoids showed increased expression of genes associated with epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in co-cultures and several potential receptor-ligand interactions related to EMT were identified, supporting a key role of CAF-driven induction of EMT in PDAC chemoresistance.

• Measurement of SARS-CoV-2 variants fraction in infected alveolar cells

  With the continuous emergence of highly transmissible SARS-CoV-2 variants, the comparison of their infectivity has become a critical issue for public health. However, a direct assessment of the viral characteristic has been challenging due to the lack of appropriate experimental models and efficient methods. Here, we conducted full-length transcriptome sequencing of single human alveolar cells infected by multiple SARS-CoV-2 variants, including GR (B.1.1.119), Alpha (B.1.1.7), Delta (B.1.617.2), and Omicron (BA.1). Using unique mutations of each VOC, we calculated the fraction of VOCs in infected cells.

• scRNAseq and scATACseq of placebo controlled-trial on MMR non-specific effects

  The project includes sequencing data of isolated PBMCs extracted from donors that received the MMR vaccine and donors that received placebo, both containg samples before and after the vaccine. In total, 6 MMR-vaccinated and 6 Placebo donors for both timepoints were included in the scRNAseq data. In total, 12 MMR-vaccinated and 12 Placebo donors for both timepoints were included in the scATACseq data. The main goal of the project is studying the non-specific effects of the vaccine and its possible use as an inducer of trained immunity in vivo.

• Clinical utility of combined low-pass whole genome and targeted sequencing in liquid biopsies for diagnosis and monitoring of pediatric solid tumors

  We designed a liquid biopsy (LB) platform employing Low-Pass Whole Genome Sequencing (LP-WGS) and targeted sequencing of cell-free (cf) DNA isolated from plasma for detecting genome-wide copy number alterations and targeted gene fusions in pediatric solid tumors. A total of 143 plasma samples were analyzed from 19 controls (patients with non-oncologic diagnoses) and 73 patients, including 44 with bone or soft tissue sarcomas, 12 with renal tumors, 10 with germ cell tumors, 5 with hepatic tumors, and 2 with thyroid tumors.

• Personalized Onco-Genomic Project for pediatric and adolescent patients in British Columbia

  This is an extension of the BC Cancer Agency's Personalized Onco-Genomics (POG) project to children and adolescents treated at BC Children's Hospital. The project provides access to whole genome and transcriptome sequencing, and integrated bioinformatics analyses, of relapsed, refractory or poor prognosis cancers with an aim to identify actionable variants that can inform clinical decision making.

• Spatial and temporal intra-tumoural heterogeneity in advanced High-Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer: implications for surgical and clinical outcomes

  Limited evidence exists on the extent and impact of spatial and temporal heterogeneity of high grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) on tumour evolution and patients surgical and clinical outcome. We investigated this through systematic mapping of multi-site tumours at initial presentation and matched relapse from 49 chemo-naïve HGSOC patients with high tumour load, operated upfront. Our data provides a unique insight into the tumour evolution and metastatic pathways of HGSOC across time and space, how this complexity relates to surgical and clinical outcome and its consequences on clinical decision-making.
