• WES of breast cancer patients and controls

  This study assessed the variant profiles of 408 samples from 126 breast cancer patients with various survival outcomes, including paired uninvolved mammary gland samples collected at proximal distances from primary lesions. As a reference, control samples from 15 mammoplasty individuals without cancer history were studied. Whole exome sequencing was performed to identify post-zygotic and germline variants present in the studied samples. Variant annotation in known databases, interpretation, and statistical analyses followed to discern the clinical relevance of called variants.

• Characterization of copy number quiet oral cancer

  Copy number quiet head and neck squamous cell carcinoma are a distinct subset with relatively good prognosis. Previous work has indicated this subset is most commonly found in the oral cavity and is highly enriched for HRAS and CASP8 mutations. TP53 mutations are much less common than in CNA-quiet oral cancers. In this study we corroborate the validity of CNA-quiet tumors as a distinct subset in a large OSCC cohort and further chart clinical, genomic, and immunological characteristics of this subset.

• analysis of immune infiltration in colorectal cancer metastasis

  Metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) is the main cause of CRC mortality, with limited treatment options. Although immunotherapy has benefited some cancer patients, mCRC typically lacks the molecular features that respond to this treatment. However, recent studies indicate that the immune microenvironment of mCRC may be modified to enhance the effect of immune checkpoint inhibitors. This study aimed to explore the metastatic immune microenvironment by comparing immune cell populations in colorectal liver (CLM), lung (mLu) and peritoneal (PM) metastases.

• Molecular biomarkers in progression from refractory celiac disease to the lethal cancer variety enteropathy associated T cell lymphoma (EATL)

  Enteropathy associated T cell lymphoma (EATL) is frequently preceded by a state of refractoriness to the gluten-free diet, called “refractory celiac disease” or RCD. We aim to study which mutations and copy number aberrations are already manifest in RCD and to identify differences between RCD patients that do, and do not, develop EATL. We have applied whole exome sequencing to detect mutations and copy number aberration predictive for progression from RCD to EATL.

• CARE idiopathic subglottic stenosis bulk transcriptomics.

  Idiopathic subglottic stenosis (iSGS) is a severe chronic orphan disease characterised by recurrent scarring of the subglottis, predominantly affecting Caucasian females in their fourth to sixth decade of life. Due to its rarity, understanding the clinical trajectory and molecular factors involved in iSGS disease development and prognosis has been challenging. In this study, we prospectively enrolled patients with iSGS, trauma-induced subglottic stenosis, and controls to investigate the clinical, transcriptional, and genetic features that may be associated with disease pathogenesis and treatment outcomes.

• Evaluation of whole genome sequencing utility in identifying driver alterations in cancer genome

  This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of whole genome sequencing (WGS) compared to whole exome sequencing (WES) in identifying driver alterations in cancer genomes. Out of 177 cases with no driver alterations detected by WES, WGS identified driver alterations in 68.4% and likely driver alterations in 22.6% of cases. The most common alterations found were oncogene amplifications, tumor suppressor gene deletions, and small variants outside coding regions. WGS proved valuable in uncovering genomic changes associated with cancer development.

• An Ultrasensitive Method for Detection of Cell-Free RNA

  Our study describes the development of a novel method for cell free RNA (cfRNA) analysis called RARE-Seq (Random priming & Affinity capture of cell-free RNA fragments for Enrichment analysis by Sequencing).

• Multi-modal single-cell analysis of salivary glands from patients with Sjogren's syndrome collaboration

  Sjogren's syndrome (SS) is an autoimmune disease that causes salivary gland dysfunction due to immune-mediated destruction.

• RNAseq of MCL cell lines

  This study provides bulk RNA sequencing data from Mino and Jeko-1 mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) cell lines treated with CDK9 inhibitors, including the novel compound YX0798. CDK9 is a key regulator of RNA polymerase II–mediated transcription, and its inhibition disrupts transcriptional programs critical for tumor survival. The dataset captures transcriptomic changes associated with CDK9 inhibition, including downregulation of oncogenic drivers such as MYC and MCL-1. These data support mechanistic studies of transcriptional reprogramming and therapeutic vulnerability in aggressive MCL.

• Epigenome analysis of human trophoblast stem cells

  Trophoblast cells play an essential role in the interactions between the fetus and mother. Mouse trophoblast stem (TS) cells have been derived and used as the best in vitro model for molecular and functional analysis of mouse trophoblast lineages. However, attempts to derive human TS cells have so far been unsuccessful. In this study, we derived human TS cells from human blastocysts. Epigenome analysis revealed that the human TS cells maintained epigenome profiles similar to those of primary trophoblast cells. JGA submission accessions: JGA000122,JGA00000000122
