• 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.

• Canadian Prostate Cancer Genome Network

  Over 5 years, CPC-GENE will sequence the genomes of 350 intermediate risk prostate cancers to identify genetic signatures that differ in cancers that responded well to treatment compared with those that did not. CPC-GENE will also sequence multiple regions of prostate cancer from the same gland to determine if and how the genetic make-up of prostate cancer varies within an individual man’s prostate

• 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.

• Genetic_background_for_cardio_vascular_disorders_in_the_general_Finnish_population

  Low coverage (4-6x) sequencing on samples from population cohorts (Finrisk, Health2000) will be done at Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute (WTSI) using Illumina HiSeq sequencing technology. We will produce 100bp paired end reads. Variants will be called using the 1000 Genomes Project pipeline. The samples have been selected from a national representative set of approximately 30,300 samples and comprises 500 individuals of each gender in the extreme tail of high density lipoprotein (HDL) concentrations. Included individuals were between 25 and 65 years of age. Individuals with a diagnosis of diabetes or BMI>30 were excluded from the study.

• 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.

• COMPARE study: participants typed during UK Biobank version 2 array development phase

  The COMPARE study enrolled 29,066 British blood between donors between February 2016 and March 2017, the study aim is to find the optimum technology for haemoglobin screening (ISRCTN 90871183). All participants were at the time of recruitment active blood donors. The 4,796 participants in this dataset have consented to join the NIHR BioResource. Genotyping data was produced using the Thermo Fisher Scientific Axiom Genotyping platform. The UK Biobank version 2 array design was used, content on this array has been added to allow for accurate DNA based identification of human blood group antigens.

• Methylation_changes_in_OA_patients_with_chronic_exposure_to_cobalt_and_chromium

  We have whole blood from a population of 70 patients, half exposed chronically to an excessof metals cobalt and chromium. The 2 groups are age, sex, and OA diagnosis matched. The2 groups have systemic differences in bone mass and turnover, and other systemicdifferences.We will type the cohort of 70 individuals on the Illumina 450k methylation array and willcompare between the two groups.This data is part of a pre-publication release.

• Comprehensive genomic profiling of matched glioblastoma tumours, cell-lines, and xenografts reveals genomic stability and adaptation to disparate growth environments

  The mandate of this project was to use drug screening to deliver new drugs for glioblastoma (GBM) to clinical trials, and perform genomic assessment of GBM to discover new therapeutic targets and predictors of response. The sequencing data in this set was derived from GBM patient tumor samples, matched brain tumor initiating cells lines (BTICs), and tumor tissue derived from orthotopic implants.

• Role_of_Epigenetic_Memory_in_Human_Induced_Pluripotent_Stem_Cells_Pilot

  Fibroblasts have been shown to re-program into induced pluripotent stem (hiPS) cells, through over-expression of pluripotency genes. These hiPS cells show similar characteristics to embryonic stem cells including cell surface markers, epigenetic changes and ability to differentiate into the three germ layers. However it is unclear as to the extent of changes in gene expression through the re-programming process.. This data is part of a pre-publication release.

• Congenital_anosmia_1

  Congenital anosmias can be complete (the lack of a sense of smell) or specific (the inability to detect specific smells). To date, only a single recessive gene underlying complete anosmia has been identified. 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.
