• PD-associated regulatory variants in human dopaminergic neurons reveals modulators of SCARB2 and BAG3 expression

  SNPs have been associated with the risk of Parkinson’s disease but not in regulatory regions. While those potentially disrupt TFBS altering gene expression and contributing to cis-regulatory variation. To study changes in A and B compartment interactions and in topologically associated domains (TADs), we sequenced: - 3D chromatin contact using LowC, 6 samples. 3 replicates for each condition: smNPC (controls) cells and differentiated neurons after 30 days. Resulting paired-end are provided as BAM files. In order to confirm the predicted impact of the PD-associated allele of rs144814361 on BAG3 promoter, we proceeded with genome editing of the TH-REP1 cell line by using prime editing to insert the “T” allele at the position chr10:119651405 in the BAG3 promoter. - Chromatin accessibility using ATAC-seq, 9 samples of derived cell line TH-REP1. 3 replicates for each condition: 1) iPSC Wild Type 2) SNP-BAG3 variant in iPSC 3) SNP-BAG3 variant in smNPC. BAG3 variant: heterozygous for the SNP variant: rs144814361 (chr10 119651405) Resulting sequencing are provided as paired-end FASTQ files.

• Discordant_Monozygotic_Twins_ALS(Transcriptomics)

  Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by motor neuron degeneration. Despite known genetic contributions to both familial and sporadic ALS cases, much of ALS heritability remains unexplained, suggesting the involvement of other genetic and epigenetic factors. To address this gap, we used a comprehensive multi-omics approach, in a pair of Italian monozygotic twins discordant for ALS, integrating DNA methylation, transcriptomics, and whole exome sequencing (WES). Here we share transcriptomic data derived from bulk RNA-seq on RNA extracted from PBMCs of the twin pair. This analysis revealed distinct transcriptomic profiles underlying the discordant disease phenotypes.

• Spatial predictors of response to immunotherapy in microsatellite stable metastatic colorectal cancer

  Microsatellite stable (MSS) colorectal cancers (CRC) are largely unresponsive to immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI), prompting investigation into strategies to enhance sensitivity. The MAYA trial, which utilized temozolomide (TMZ) in MGMT-silenced MSS mCRC, hypothesized that TMZ-induced hypermutation could sensitize tumors to ICI. This phase II trial met its primary endpoint, demonstrating durable clinical responses with TMZ combined with ipilimumab and nivolumab. To elucidate factors in uencing response heterogeneity, we conducted multi-omic spatial pro ling of samples from patients who participated in the MAYA trial, including baseline and on-treatment tissue and blood specimens. While increased neoantigen load following TMZ exposure did not consistently predict for deep responses, spatial profiling revealed key determinants. Lymphocyte proportions, particularly CD8+KI67+ cells, within stromal and tumor compartments, along with macrophage composition (CD68+CD163+ cells) at the tumor-stromal interface, were predictive of response. Treatment pressures dynamically altered the tumor microenvironment composition and activated peripheral immune cells. This study is the first to identify spatial predictors of response to this promising novel treatment approach for MSS CRC.

• Primary breast tumor heterogeneity through therapy

  We performed whole-exome sequencing on multiple regions (n=2-3) from four primary untreated breast tumors (n=1 HER2+, n=2 ER+/HER2-, n=1 triple-negative), as well as matched normal. We also performed whole-exome sequencing on one region from the pre-treatment diagnostic core biopsy and multiple regions (n=2-6) from the post-treatment surgical specimen for five HER2+ primary breast tumors, as well as matched normal; all were treated with combination chemotherapy and trastuzumab. Analysis of these specimens allows characterization of breast tumor heterogeneity and clonal evolution.

• RNA-seq analysis of megakaryocytes and granulocytes in Quebec platelet disorder

  Quebec Platelet disorder (QPD) is a unique bleeding disorder that markedly increases urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) in megakaryocytes and platelets but not in plasma or urine. The cause is tandem duplication of a 77 kb region of chromosome 10 containing PLAU and C10orf55. Blood cells and cultured megakaryocytes from donors (7 QPD, 10 control subjects) were prepared for total and allele-specific, quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, immunoassays, Western blots and RNA-seq. Transcriptomes for cultured megakaryocytes and peripheral blood granulocytes from 4 control and 3 QPD individuals were analyzed using mRNA-seq.

• Pancreatic cancer organoids recapitulate disease and allow personalized drug screening

  We report derivation of 30 Patient-Derived Organoid lines (PDOs) from tumors arising in the pancreas and distal bile duct. PDOs recapitulate tumor histology and contain genetic alterations typical for pancreatic cancer. In vitro testing of a panel of 76 therapeutic agents revealed sensitivities currently not exploited in the clinic. The PRMT5 inhibitor EZP015556, shown to target MTAP negative tumors, was validated as such, but also appeared to constitute an effective therapy for a subset of MTAP+ tumors. Taken together, the work presented here provides a platform to identify novel therapeutics to target pancreatic tumor cells using PDOs.

• Non-invasive prenatal diagnosis by genome-wide haplotyping of maternal cell-free plasma DNA

  Whereas non-invasive prenatal testing for aneuploidies (NIPT-A) is widely implemented, non-invasive prenatal testing for monogenic diseases (NIPT-M) is lagging. By capturing and targeted sequencing of 250000 polymorphic SNP loci from maternal plasma circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) and DNA from relatives, the fetal haplotype and chromosomal copy numbers are deduced. In all families tested, the cfDNA derived haplotypes are on average 97% concordant with the neonatal and embryo haplotype. This generic non-invasive prenatal diagnostic approach allows cost efficient scrutinizing the fetal genome for the presence of any inherited monogenic disease or trait.

• WXS of 147 lung cancer patients treated with immunotherapy

  We first attempted to predict MHC-binding neoantigens at high accuracy with convolutional neural networks. This prediction model outperformed previous methods in > 70% of test cases. Importantly, our method remarkably increased the predictive value of neoantigen load especially in combination with known resistance parameters. We then developed a classifier that can predict resistance from point mutations that are deleterious to protein function. Notably, genes involved in the adaptive immune response, cytokine signaling,and EGFR signaling held high explanatory power. Furthermore, when integrated with our neoantigen profiling, these anti-immunogenic mutations revealed significantly higher predictive power than known resistance factors.

• RNA_sequencing

  All cancers arise due to somatically acquired mutations in their genomes which alter the function of key cancer genes. Understanding the critical mutational events underlying the development of cancer is paramount for advancing prevention, early detection and effective treatment of the disease. Breast cancer is the most common cause of cancer death among women. Extraordinary recent advances in sequencing now make it a realistic aim to sequence large numbers of breast cancer genomes to find somatic mutations on a massive scale. NB bam files for manuscript A_Proteomic_Chronology_of_Gene_Expression_through_the_Cell_Cycle_in_Human_Myeloid_Leukemia_Cells are now available at the following link:http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/data/view/ERP008483

• Molecular profiling of EBV associated diffuse large B-cell lymphoma

  We describe distinct molecular mechanisms leading to recurrent activation of JAK-STAT signaling, perturbation of epigenetic regulators as well as other direct targetable alterations such as PD-L1 amplification and overexpression contributing to immune evasion of lymphoma cells. Using the LymphGen 2.0 classifier, we combine data of recurrent mutations, somatic copy number alterations, and structural variants in an integrative analysis . For the first time, we reveal that less than 20% of primary EBV+ DLBCLs can be attributed to established molecular clusters of DLBCL NOS emphasizing the unique molecular character of this disease.

• 503 genotypes from Inner Asia used in 'Close inbreeding and low genetic diversity in Inner Asian human populations despite geographical exogamy' publication

  Inner Asia is particularly interesting to understand human history and evolution, as two groups presenting contrasting cultural traits (notably their language, their social organisation and matrimonial system) cohabit. We sampled 503 individuals from these two groups, belonging to 17 populations from 11 distinct ethnic groups (AltaiKizhi, Kazakh, Khakas, Kyrgyz, Mongolian, Shore, Tajik, Telengit, Tubalar, Turkmen and Uzbek). The samples were then genotyped with 5 different DNA-arrays and, after quality-control, the 253,532 autosomal SNPs present in all the arrays were merged together in the present dataset.

• ICGC Oesophageal adenocarcinoma - lymph-node samples

  The oesophageal project will focus on adenocarcinoma which is increasing in incidence in the UK and other developed countries and has a very poor outcome. The primary aims of this project are to deeply sequence tumour and normal genomic DNA (including the precursor condition Barrett’s oesophagus when material is available) to provide a comprehensive catalogue of somatic mutations. This will be achieved through a UK-wide network of hospitals involved in a research collaboration called the OCCAMS consortium. The goal of this project is to use high quality clinical material with accurately annotated clinic-pathological, treatment and outcome data.

• Hypermutation of the inactive X chromosome is a frequent event in cancer

  Mutation is a fundamental process in tumorigenesis. However the degree to which the rate of somatic mutation varies across the human genome and the mechanistic basis underlying this variation remain to be fully elucidated. As part of the ICGC PedBrain and Malignant Lymphoma (MMML-Seq) consortium we performed a cross-cancer comparison of whole genomes comprising a diverse set of childhood and adult tumors including both solid and hematopoietic malignancies. In addition we performed whole genome sequencing of clonally expanded hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) from healthy individuals to compare somatic mutation rates.

• Whole transcriptome sequencing of chemotherapy-resistant muscle-invasive urothelial bladder cancer

  All mRNA sequencing data were acquired from single patients (BC159T) at a different time (BC159-T#1, BC159-T#2, and BC159-T#3). The first transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TUR-BT) (BC159-T#1) was diagnosed with non-MIUBC (muscle-invasive urothelial bladder cancer). Despite of intravesical bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG), the patient progressed into MIUBC at the second TUR-BT (BC159-T#2). After undergoing multiple neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimens (gemcitabine/paclitaxel and sequential paclitaxel), the patient developed local recurrence and multiple lung metastases and removed following palliative partial cystectomy (BC159-T#3).

• Identification_of_drug_resistance_genes_in_cancer_cell_lines_by_insertional_mutagenesis

  Our aim is to identify genes involved in resistance to anti-cancer therapies. In order to do this we have taken advantage of a lentiviral vector (LV)-based insertional mutagen to mutagenize cancer cell lines. LV-transduced cell lines were then treated with anti-cancer therapies and the emergence of resistant clones scored. DNA from pools of resistant clones was collected, subjected to custom capture by baits designed against the LV sequence, and then sequenced to identify the LV-genomic junction. We hope that the identification of recurrently targeted genes in resistant cell population will allow us to identify genes that mediate drug resistance.

• Whole genome and whole transcriptome sequencing of patients diagnosed with angiosarcoma.

  Angiosarcomas are rare, clinically-aggressive tumors with a predilection for the elderly and immunosuppressed, which has incited suspicion of an oncogenic virus. We studied the metagenomic landscape of angiosarcomas and identified reads mapping to human herpesvirus-7 (HHV-7). Overall, HHV-7 was present in two-thirds of angiosarcomas, particularly in cases with low tumor mutation burden and lacking signatures of ultraviolet-induced DNA damage. Transcriptomic profiling revealed the enrichment of tumor inflammation signatures in HHV7-positive angiosarcomas. In conclusion, we identified a distinct “inflammatory” subtype of angiosarcoma associated with HHV-7.

• Transcriptomic analysis of the Phase 3 COMPARZ clinical trial

  Metastasis remains the main reason for renal cell carcinoma (RCC)-associated mortality. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) impart clinical benefit for most RCC patients but the determinants of response are poorly understood. We report an integrated genomic and transcriptomic analysis of metastatic clear cell RCC (ccRCC) patients treated with TKI therapy and identify predictors of response. Patients in the COMPARZ phase III trial received first-line sunitinib or pazopanib with comparable efficacy. Microarray-based transcriptomic analyses with results from Next-gen genomic analyses of targeted genes revealed distinct molecular subgroups associated with response and survival.

• Novel Epigenetic Markers for Toxicity after Intraoperative and Conventional Radiotherapy for Breast Cancer

  Ionizing radiation is a common treatment option for cancer but its use is limited by the unpredictable and highly heterogeneous onset of late side effects, especially radiation-induced fibrosis. Clinically applicable biomarkers and effective treatments for radiation fibrosis are currently unavailable. In order to identify novel markers we ran a genome-wide DNA methylation screen in primary dermal fibroblasts obtained from breast cancer patients before intraoperative radiotherapy. Cells from patients developing fibrosis within a three-year follow up were compared to those without fibrosis (12 individuals per group). Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation450 BeadChip Technology was used.

• Genetic determinants of glycated hemoglobin levels in the Greenlandic Inuit population

  We recently showed that a common genetic variant leads to a remarkably increased risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in the small and historically isolated Greenlandic population. Motivated by this, we aimed at investigating the genetic determinants for glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C). We found no novel associations but saw that for 10 out of 15 known HbA1C loci that the effects in Greenlandic Inuit were similar to previously reported. One locus, ANK1, showed a significant ancestral population specific effect. Our results shed light on the genetics effects across ethnicites.

• The_Causes_of_Clonal_Blood_Cell_Disorders_Study___SCOR

  We will take a bone marrow aspirate and peripheral blood samples from a healthy patient aged around 60, and use flow cytometry to isolate 100 HSCs, 50 MEPs, and 50 GMPs. We will grow these up into colonies, then whole genome sequence each colony. Somatic mutations will act as a unique barcode for each clone. We will then design a panel for targeted resequencing of the mutations that we find. It will then be possible to look for these mutations in the peripheral blood over several years, to see the dynamics of how HSCs contribute to the peripheral blood in health.

• Linking genes, genomic instability and molecular subgroups in medulloblastoma

  Brain tumors are the second most common pediatric cancer and carry the highest mortality rates in this age group. Medulloblastoma is the most frequent malignant brain tumor of childhood. Recent studies indicate that medulloblastoma comprises at least four sub-entities (SHH-signaling, WNT-signaling, Group-C, Group-D) that differ in molecular alterations, cell of origin, clinicopathological features and outcome. Further characterization of the entire spectrum of genomic alterations underlying the formation of these distinct groups is urgently needed to identify diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for clinical management and uncover novel therapeutic targets.

• PAS Pedigrees: Identification of novel genetic variants contributing to cardiovascular disease in pedigrees with premature atherosclerosis.

  The heritability of CVD has been estimated to be between 40 and 55%. Due to the low MAF, PAS-causing mutations cannot be identified by indirect genotyping because their presence cannot be inferred from common haplotypes, as has been done successfully to uncover common risk variants by GWAS. It has been shown by Ng et al that the causative gene for rare syndromes can be unequivocally identified by sequencing the exomes of only four cases and eight controls. We expect exome sequencing to result in a high number of mutations and non-causitive coding variants.

• Natural variation of circulating RNAs in human serum

  Non-coding RNA (ncRNA) molecules have fundamental roles in cells and many are also stable in body fluids as extracellular RNAs. In these studies, we used RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) to investigate the profile of small non-coding RNA (sncRNA) in human serum. We analyzed more than 10 billion Illumina reads from more than 500 serum samples, included in the Norwegian population-based Janus Serum Bank (JSB). Our results suggest that many circulating RNAs in serum can be potential biomarkers and they are associated with different traits including age, sex, smoking, body size etc.

• Ibrutinib induces a global chromatin reorganisation in chronic lymphocytic leukaemia

  Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) is the most common haematological malignancy in developed countries. Ibrutinib (PCI-32765), a specific and irreversible inhibitor of Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase (BTK) represents a major step forward in the treatment of CLL. We have undertaken a detailed analysis of the changes happening to the chromatin structure in CLL cells from patients continuously receiving oral doses of ibrutinib. ChIP-seq has been performed for H3K4me3, H3K27ac, H3K27me3 and EZH2 . We observed that Ibrutinib-dependent lymphocytosis correlates with a global and transient recruitment of EZH2 to active cis-regulatory elements and increased H3K27me3.

• CCND1-negative MCL

  A subset of CCND1-negative mantle cell lymphoma MCL (CCND1- MCL) has been recognized, and around half of them harbor CCND2 translocations. To identify other potential mechanisms driving MCL pathogenesis we investigated CCND1− MCL by by whole genome/exome sequencing. We identified a cryptic insertion of IGK and IGL enhancer regions near the CCND3 gene in three cases. Specific FISH probes detected 10 additional cryptic IGK juxtapositions to CCND3 (6 cases) and CCND2 (4 cases). In conclusion, virtually all CCND1-/SOX11+ MCL carry CCND2/CCND3 rearrangement with IG genes, including cryptic IGK/L enhancer regions not detected with currently used FISH probes.

Here we sequenced the exomes of 10 individuals from a single family, including three with complete anosmia, across three generations to identify the genetic basis of congenital anosmia in this family. This data is part of a pre-publication release.

• Single-cell RNA-sequencing reveals that glioblastoma recapitulates a normal neurodevetlopmental hierarchy

  We discovered a conserved neural tri- lineage cancer hierarchy centered around glial progenitor-like cells. We also found that this progenitor population contains the majority of the cancer’s cycling cells, and, using RNA velocity, is often the originator of the other cell types. Finally, we show that this hierarchal map can be used to identify therapeutic targets specific to progenitor cancer stem cells. Our analyses show that normal brain development reconciles glioblastoma development, suggests a possible origin for glioblastoma hierarchy, and helps to identify cancer stem cell-specific targets.

• Understand_Paratyphoid_Disease___host_responses_to_human_challenge_with_S__Paratyphi_A

  This project aims to evaluate the transcriptional response to disease measured in whole blood of participants who developed enteric fever after challenge and, importantly, those who were challenged but stayed well throughout the challenge period. This data will provide unique coverage of the transcriptome and will yield invaluable insight after integration with a wealth of clinical data collected during this trial. This data is part of a pre-publication release.

• Breast Cancer - Subtype defined by an amplification of the HER2 gene

  Clinically positive HER2 (cHER2+) breast cancers (BC) are defined by the amplification and overexpression of the human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER2/ERBB2) gene on chromosome region 17q12 and represent 15% of all BCs. Although anti-HER2 targeted therapies have improved BC’s natural history, the magnitude of their benefit varies widely between patients and deciphering the genomic heterogeneity of cHER2+ BC may provide a basis to better understand patients’ outcome. As part of the ICGC Breast Cancer Working Group effort, we combined whole genome sequencing and transcriptomic analyses of 64 cHER2+ primary invasive carcinomas.

• Single cell T cell Landscape and T Cell Receptor Repertoire Profiling of AML in Context of PD-1 Blockade Therapy

  Eight pretreatment and 14 posttreatment bone marrow (BM) aspirates from 8 patients with R/R AML treated with azacitidine and nivolumab along with 2 control BM from healthy donors were profiled with scRNA sequencing with matching scTCR -, scBCR - and scATAC sequencing. Additionally, the targeted DNA sequencing in at least 1 time point per patient (total evaluated 17/22 samples, two samples were performed using CLIA-certified molecular diagnostic assay and data is not available) was performed. The Fastq files and/or bam files are available in this dataset.

• Ultraviolet radiation drives mutations in a subset of mucosal melanomas

  Although identified as the key environmental driver of common cutaneous melanoma, the role of ultraviolet radiation (UVR)-induced DNA damage in mucosal melanoma is poorly defined. We present the largest cohort of mucosal melanomas of conjunctival origin to be analyzed by whole genome sequencing and show a predominance of UVR-associated single base substitution signature 7 (SBS7) in the majority of the samples. Our data shows mucosal melanomas with SBS7 dominance have similar genomic patterns to cutaneous melanomas and therefore this subset could benefit from treatments currently used for common cutaneous melanoma.
