• Targeted gene panel sequencing of matched diagnosis-remission-relapse B cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia samples

  Bone marrow mononuclear cells from patients diagnosed with B cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia were obtained at three sequential time points: first diagnosis, remission after chemotherapy and relapse. Genomic DNA was isolated and targeted gene panel sequencing was performed using a customized biotinylated RNA oligo pool (SureSelect, Agilent, Santa Clara, California) to hybridize the target regions comprising 362 kbp on a HiSeq2000. Target regions were selected to validate mutations previously identified in these samples using whole exome sequencing.

• Genomic Signatures Reveal DNA Damage Response Deficiency in Brain Metastases of Colorectal Cancer

  Brain metastasis (BM) of colorectal cancer (CRC) is rare but lethal and lacks effective therapies or a good understanding of its genomic landscapes. We conduct an analysis of whole-exome sequencing (WES, Illumina HiSeq 2500 sequencing platform) on 11 patient-matched BMs, primary CRC tumours, and adjacent normal tissues; and whole-genome sequencing (WGS, Illumina HiSeq X Ten platform) on 8 patient-matched BMs, primary CRC tumors, and adjacent normal tissues to uncover the whole-genome mutational landscape of colorectal cancer with brain metastasis.

• Next Generation Sequencing Characterization of Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitors Cells in Human Systemic Lupus Eryhtematosus

  This dataset contains RNA-sequencing of Bone marrow-derived CD34+ cells from Healthy Controls (n=2) and SLE patients (n=8). SLE patients are divided into two categories based on severity: patients with moderate/mild disease (n=3) and patients with severe disease (n=5). Libraries were generated using the Illumina TruSeq Sample Preparation kit v2. Single-end 75-bp mRNA sequencing was performed on Illumina NextSeq 500. The raw fastq files are uploaded.

• WES data from 165 tumor/germline samples with muscle invasive bladder cancer.

  In this study, a total of 300 patients with MIBC receiving chemotherapy were included; 62 received NAC before cystectomy and 245 received first-line chemotherapy upon detection of locally-advanced (T4b) or metastatic disease. Treatment response, defined as pathological downstaging (< pTa,CIS,N0) after NAC or complete or partial response after first-line treatment (RECIST criteria). WES was performed using DNA from 165 tumors (76x median coverage) and associated germline DNA (46x median coverage). Data provided here consist of 5,828 fastq files for WES.

• Resequencing (MIPS) of candidate genes for Keratoconus (2020)

  The dataset consists of the BAM-files of 745 patients and 810 controls (retained after quality control) of a set of 34 candidate genes obtained after targeted enrichment via Molecular Inversion Probes (MIPS) technology. The sequencing was performed on the NextSeq 500 (Illumina, CA, USA) using custom sequencing and index primers in three 2 x 76 bp, dual indexed runs using a 150 cycles High-Output Illumina kit (Illumina, CA, USA). Alignment of the fastq reads to the human genome was performed using BWA (v0.7.4).

• VCF file from 16 patients affected by acute intermittent porphyria

  VCF file from 16 patients affected by acute intermittent porphyria. Whole genome sequencing of these samples was performed in an Illumina HiSeq 4000 instrument. Libraries were prepared using the Fisher PE Kit (Kapa Biosystems). BAM files were processed at the CNAG (Barcelona) with their pipeline, including GATK v3.6 for genotyping and other tools such as snpEff for annotating variants, to produce this VCF file with a total of 10,630,259 variants, out of which 8,731,523 are SNVs.

• cfMeDIP data for 67 VPC samples

  We analyzed the cell free DNA methylomes using 67 plasma samples from patients with mCRPC prostate cancer in the VPC project. Methylation was profiled using the methylated DNA immunoprecipitation coupled to next generation sequencing (MeDIP) technology.

• The Effect of the Menstrual Cycle on DNA Expression in the Normal Human Breast Epithelium

  The Susan G. Komen for the Cure® Tissue Bank at the IU Simon Cancer Center [www.komentissuebank.iu.edu] (KTB) was established expressly for the prospective collection of normal, healthy breast tissue from volunteer donors. Blood is also obtained from donors at the time of donation and is processed for serum, plasma and peripheral blood leukocyte DNA. Specimens are annotated and data includes age, race, ethnicity, personal health history, family cancer history, medication usage at the time of donation, and breast cancer risk factors. Premenopausal donors to the KTB were identified by a query of the Bank's database. Hematoxylin and eosin stained sections of the formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue of the identified donors were reviewed and tissue was graded on the basis of the abundance of epithelium within the section. Only tissue containing abundant epithelium was considered for this study. Based on dates, the specimens of nine women in the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle and five in the luteal phase were chosen. Six donors using hormonal contraception at the time of donation were also included. Whole blood obtained from 19 of the 20 donors at the time of tissue donation was available and it was processed for serum. Estradiol, estriol, luteinizing hormone and progesterone concentrations were determined by the Indiana University Health Pathology Laboratory using a Beckman Unicel DxI 800 Immunoassay System. The phase of the menstrual cycle was verified by serum progesterone concentration. The epithelium of these 20 specimens was microdissected from multiple 8 micron frozen tissue sections. Total RNA extracted from the tissue was subsequently depleted of rRNA via locked nucleic acid probes. This enabled profiling of both poly-A and non-poly-A RNA species. Barcoded cDNA libraries from the 20 normal breast epithelia were prepared and sequenced on an Applied Biosystems (AB) SOLiD3 or SOLiD 4 platform. RNA-seq reads for each sample were then mapped to the human genome (hg19) using the LifeScope software version 2.5.1 (Life Technologies, Foster City, CA) and BAM (Binary Alignment/Map) files generated. Read counts for each gene were derived from the output BAM files using the RefSeq database (UCSC Genome Brower) as the gene model.

• Accelerating Medicines Partnership-Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (AMP-RA/SLE)

  This project is analyzing tissue and blood samples from people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and lupus to pinpoint genes, proteins, chemical pathways, and networks involved at a single cell level. This type of modular, molecular analysis will allow comparisons across the diseases and will provide insights into key aspects of the disease process. The project will identify differences between those RA patients who respond to therapies and those who do not, as well as provide a better systems level understanding of disease mechanisms in both RA and lupus. This knowledge is essential for the development of targeted therapies and for the application of existing and future therapies to appropriate patient populations.

• Genome wide association study for early onset coronary disease and related phenotypes (ADVANCE)

  ADVANCE (Atherosclerotic Disease, VAscular functioN, and genetiC Epidemiology) is a large epidemiological study of genetic and non-genetic determinants of coronary artery disease (CAD) that started in 2000 as a collaborative effort between researchers at Stanford University and Kaiser Permanente of Northern California. The overarching goal of the study is to improve our ability to prevent, diagnose and treat CAD. The initial study included recruitment of over 3600 subjects (including 1873 subjects with incident clinically significant coronary disease and 1745 control subjects) from multiple race/ethnic backgrounds. A subset of ~ 500 subjects with very early onset coronary disease (men < 45 and women < 55) and ~ 500 similar aged controls were genotyped using the Illumina 550K platform as part of an NIH funded effort within the STAMPEED consortium.
