• 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.

• Whole exome sequencing variant data for Mendelian disorders cohort

  This dataset contains whole exome sequencing variant data (VCF files) from individuals with suspected Mendelian disorders, including sickle cell disease, muscular dystrophy, haemophilia, and Fanconi anemia. Variant calling was performed using the Illumina DRAGEN pipeline, with downstream variant prioritisation conducted using the Zi-Mendelian bioinformatics pipeline. The dataset supports research into rare genetic diseases and genomic variation in African populations.

• Bioinformatics analysis of chimerism in monochorionic dizygotic twins

  We conducted whole-genome sequencing on blood and buccal specimen from a family with chimerism identified in the two monochorionic dizygotic twins. Blood DNA was obtained from all family members. In addition, we obtained buccal specimen from the chimeric twins. Whole-genome sequencing was conducted on Illumina NovaSeq.

• RNAseq of pre- and post-5AZA-treated head and neck cancer patients refractory to anti-PD-1 therapy

  RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) was performed on baseline (before low-dose 5-aza treatment) and on-treatment (low-dose 5-aza treatment for 5 or 10 days) tumor samples from eight participants with head and neck cancer who were refractory to anti-PD-1 therapy. RNA library preparations, sequencing reactions, and initial bioinformatics analyses were conducted at GENEWIZ, LLC. In total, 16 150-bp pair-end RNAseq data were generated.

• Filtering and Annotation of Variants That Are Rare (FAVR)

  The project developed a suite of new methods (FAVR) designed to assist the shortlisting of genetic variants under a rare variant-phenotype/disease model. The methods were designed to work with commonly used massively parallel sequencing analysis pipelines, such as the GATK or ANNOVAR, and have been made publically available as a suite of software tools (https://github.com/bjpop/favr). The FAVR methods use signatures in comparator sequence alignment files to facilitate the filtering of mapping artifacts and common genetic variants, and annotation of genetic variants based on evidence of co-occurrence in individuals. As relevant, FAVR methods can also be used to filter out artifacts derived from imbalanced paired-end sequencing. Pope et al., BMC Bioinformatics, accepted Dec 2012.

• Hematopoietic differentiation at single-cell resolution in NPM1-mutated AML

  To investigate the relationship between somatic mutations and phenotypic hematologic differentiation at the single-cell level, we used a droplet-based multi-omics single-cell platform on eleven NPM1-mutated AML diagnostic samples. We developed a bioinformatics framework to perform phylogeny-driven genotype correction, that allowed us to study 52 103 single cells. Intra-leukemic genetic heterogeneity was detectable in all patients, including a branched architecture in nine of them, always owing to co-occurring signaling mutations. We identified two groups of NPM1-mutated AML, one characterized by a progenitor immunophenotype and a second one with a predominant monocytic differentiation. We also identified various degrees of intra-leukemic immunophenotype heterogeneity, sometimes associated with strong genetic/phenotype correlations.

• RNA sequencing data from patient derived colorectal cancer organoids

  This study aimed to develop NovumRNA, a bioinformatics pipeline designed to predict non-canonical tumor-specific antigens (ncTSAs) from human tumor RNA-sequencing data, potentially broadening the target pool for cancer neo-epitope-based immunotherapies. The pipeline was utilized to analyze RNA-seq data from ten patient-derived colorectal cancer (CRC) organoids, representing seven microsatellite stable (MSS) and three microsatellite instable (MSI) tumors. The goal was to explore the ncTSA landscape in CRC, particularly in MSS cases, which typically exhibit low tumor mutational burden and limited response to current immunotherapies. The study identified comparable ncTSA burdens across MSI and MSS tumors, suggesting new avenues for immunotherapy targeting non-canonical antigens in CRC.

• RNA sequencing data from glioblastoma primary cell lines treated with indisulam

  This study aimed to develop NovumRNA, a bioinformatics pipeline designed to predict non-canonical tumor-specific antigens (ncTSAs) from human tumor RNA-sequencing data, potentially broadening the target pool for cancer neo-epitope-based immunotherapies. The splicing-modulating drug indisulam was investigated for its potential to induce aberrant transcriptomes, potentially increasing ncTSAs, subsequently predicted by NovumRNA. Four glioblastoma primary cell lines were derived from patient Cavitron Ultrasonic Aspirator (CUSA) material, cultured as neurospheres, and treated with indisulam or vehicle control. RNA was extracted at 6 and 16 hours post-treatment and sequenced using the NovaSeq platform. The resulting RNA-seq data was analyzed with NovumRNA, using healthy brain GTEx samples as controls, to identify and validate ncTSAs induced by indisulam treatment. NovumRNA is available at: https://github.com/ComputationalBiomedicineGroup/NovumRNA.

• NGS-Based Mutational Analysis of 87 PMBL Patients from the GAINED Cohort (Subset of 382 Sequenced Patients)

  Targeted DNA sequencing was performed on DNA extracted from 87 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples, representing a subset of the 382 sequenced patients from the GAINED cohort. A custom “Lymphopanel” was used to identify mutations in 70 genes associated with lymphomagenesis. Library preparation, exome capture, sequencing, and analysis were conducted by IntegraGen SA (Evry, France). Sequencing was performed on an Illumina HiSeq4000 platform, with variant calling and annotation using established bioinformatics tools such as MuTect and VEP.
