• Multi-institutional collaboration to characterize 5hmC in prostate cancer, both tumor biopsies and cfDNA.

  This study used pull-down sequencing to measure 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) levels in tissue biopsy specimens from patients with localized and metastatic castration-resistant (mCRPC) prostate cancer. For a subset of the cohort, the same technique was used to sequence cell-free DNA (cfDNA) isolated from patient plasma. To assess 5hmC levels in cfDNA from a larger number of specimens, plasma samples from another mCRPC cohort were also assayed with this method. The larger cohort of cfDNA samples was further anlayzed with a targeted sequencing gene panel.

• The HLA ligandome of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas reveals shared tumor-exclusive peptides for semi-personalized vaccination

  Immunotherapeutic strategies provide promising tools for the development of novel treatment options for OPSCC patients. An accurate selection of suitable target antigens is essential for the development of novel antigen-specific immunotherapeutic approaches. The study is the first to apply immunopeptidomic strategies to OPSCC and reveals naturally HLA-presented, tumor-associated peptides. The MS-based approach provides direct evidence for HLA presentation of tumor-associated potential T cell targets. These findings may serve as a basis for the development of T-cell-based immunotherapies.

• Gene signature for predicting homologous recombination deficiency in triple-negative breast cancer

  We developed a gene expression-based classifier for homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) in breast cancer patients using WES and RNA-seq data obtained from 94 TNBC samples from a Malaysian hospital-based cohort (MyBrCa). This classifier was able to predict for high levels of a mutational signature associated with HRD in an additional MyBrCa TNBC validation cohort (this EGA study) as well as in TNBCs from TCGA. We also validated the classifier on a NanoString platform with both fresh frozen and FFPE tissue.

• Immuno-genomic landscape of osteosarcoma

  Osteosarcoma is an orphan disease affecting children and young adults that has seen little to no progress in survival outcomes for >30 years. Despite having heavily rearranged genomes, to date, clinical trials with immunotherapy have shown no benefit for patients with osteosarcoma. In this study, we conducted the first multi-platform immune profiling (whole genome, transcriptome, T-cell receptor sequencing, immunohistochemistry and reverse phase protein array) on every available pediatric and adult osteosarcoma patients from our institution (N = 48) with the goal of describing immune features that may contribute to immunotherapy resistance.

• Single-cell RNA and ATAC sequencing data analysis of human postmenopausal fallopian tube and ovary

  In this study, we used a combination of technologies, including Drop-seq, 10X single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq), and single-cell assay on transposase accessible chromatin (scATAC-seq) to generate  a high-quality cell atlas that consists of four tissue sites from the reproductive tract of postmenopausal women. This atlas, by far the most comprehensive map of the postmenopausal female reproductive system to date, will pave the way to a better understanding of the pathophysiology of many diseases affecting older women.

• Diagnosis of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children by a whole-blood transcriptional signature

  To identify a diagnostic blood transcriptomic signature that distinguishes multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) from Kawasaki Disease (KD), bacterial infections and viral infections. Children presenting with MIS-C to participating hospitals in the United Kingdom and the European Union between April 2020-April 2021 were prospectively recruited. Whole blood RNA Sequencing was performed, contrasting the transcriptomes of children with MIS-C to those from children with KD, definite bacterial and viral infections. Data deposited here comprises samples from patients recruited into the DIAMONDS study.

• Oesophageal adenocarcinoma RNAseq from LUD2015-005 study (NCT02735239, EudraCT 2015-005298-19)

  This dataset contains bulk transcriptomes from the inoperable cohorts of the LUD2015-005 study (NCT02735239, EudraCT 2015-005298-19). Transcriptomes were prepared from pre-treatment oesophageal tumour biopsies using a ribodepletion approach in order to assess both previously reported (e.g. PD-L1 expression) and novel predictive expression-based biomarkers for immunochemotherapy treatment in this setting. On-treatment and post-treatment biopsies were generated as well to characterize response to therapy, and samples were also prepared from paired normal GI tissues for a subset of patients. scRNA-seq based deconvolution was also applied to bulk transcriptomes in this study to estimate the cell composition of tumour biopsies and assess the link between the presence of specific cell types with immunochemotherapy outcomes.

• Next gen seq of eye cancers (2019-08-14)

  Retinoblastoma (RB), the commonest eye cancer in children was the first cancer for which a genetic cause was identified: the Rb1 gene is a tumour suppressor gene that is mutated in RB. The Rb1 gene defect alone does not predict the clinical outcome. We propose to study other possible mechanisms: 1. Stepwise further mutations occur in RB, increasing its carcinogenesis. We will sequence the whole genome in RB tissue, and relate the different genes expressed to the treatments used. 2. Extracellular matric proteins contribute to a tumour permissive environment for RB to continue to grow. This includes Samll Leucine Rich Proteoglycans (SLRP), a family of 15 secreted extracellular matrix proteins involved in eye development. 3. Cancer stem cells (CSC), a subpopulation of treatment resistant cells, drive RB tumours, and whether these stem cells can be manipulated for new therapies. The aim of this study is to assist finding targeted diagnostic techniques and treatments for RB. . This dataset contains all the data available for this study on 2019-08-14.

• Methylation Biomarkers can Distinguish Pleural Mesothelioma from Healthy Pleura and other Pleural Pathologies

  Pleural mesothelioma (PM) is a rare cancer type. This study developed a methylation-based biomarker assay to distinguish PM from healthy pleura and other pleural conditions. By analyzing methylation data, 744 hypermethylated CpG sites specific to PM were identified and validated with high accuracy. Using the bisulfite-free IMPRESS technique, the assay was further validated in a diverse cohort, showing strong performance in distinguishing tumoral from non-tumoral samples and PM from pleural metastases. These findings support the assay’s potential as a robust diagnostic tool for PM.

• RNA-seq of MPNSTs

  Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumors (MPNSTs) are highly aggressive soft-tissue sarcomas with a poor prognosis and a lack of therapeutic options. In this study, we analyse the whole-transcriptome MPNST and combine them with WGS data from a partially overlapping sample set. These analyses and the inclusion of another public dataset allow us to identify three genomic MPNST subgroups with distinct biological and clinicopathological features that can inform management and precision treatments. Published in "Identification of Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor (MPNST) subtypes with distinct genomic identities."
