• RNA-sequence analysis in patients with inclusion body myositis

  This study aimed to elucidate the molecular features of inclusion body myositis (IBM). We performed RNA sequencing analysis of muscle biopsy samples from myositis patients with the pathological finding of CD8-positive T cells invading non-necrotic muscle fibers expressing major histocompatibility complex class I (IBM, polymyositis, and unclassifiable myositis), and controls.

• Identifying mutations in patient-derived melanoma DCC lines

  To identify mutations that cause resistance, we analyzed two patient-derived cell lines: Mel-DCC-11 (the parental line, sensitive to the BRAF inhibitor) and Mel-DCC-11-R (resistant to the BRAF inhibitor). We employed targeted-panel sequencing to examine the coding sequences of 410 cancer-associated target genes.

• RNAseq of Thymic epithelial tumors and paired normals

  Between November 2010 and May 2014, 20 cases—17 thymomas and 3 thymic carcinomas (including 2 squamous and 1 neuroendocrine carcinoma)—were newly sequenced from surgically removed TETs at Seoul National University Hospital, with written informed consent. Tumors and normal tissues were carefully separated and immediately preserved in liquid nitrogen after resection. DNA and RNA were extracted from the tumors, adjacent normal tissues, and/or blood samples. Libraries for RNA-seq were prepared using the TruSeq Stranded mRNA LT Sample Prep Kit following standard Illumina protocols.

• WES of thymic epithelial tumors and paired normals

  Between November 2010 and May 2014, 20 cases—17 thymomas and 3 thymic carcinomas (including 2 squamous and 1 neuroendocrine carcinoma)—were newly sequenced from surgically removed TETs at Seoul National University Hospital, with written informed consent. Tumors and normal tissues were carefully separated and immediately preserved in liquid nitrogen after resection. DNA and RNA were extracted from the tumors, adjacent normal tissues, and/or blood samples. Libraries for WES were prepared using the SureSelect XT (Human All Exon + UTR v5) Library Prep Kit following standard Illumina protocols.

• Neo-RT sWGS

  Paired plasma cell-free DNA (cfDNA) samples were collected from 11 breast cancer patients before and after radiotherapy. Sequencing libraries were prepared using the Agilent SureSelect XT HS2 kit and sequenced on the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 platform. Neo-RT (NCT03818100) is a non-randomised, single-arm feasibility study evaluating neoadjuvant radiotherapy combined with endocrine therapy in women with ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer. Eligible patients had grade 1 or 2 disease (grade 3 permitted if chemotherapy was contraindicated) and a palpable tumour size ≥20 mm, for whom radiotherapy was intended to facilitate breast-conserving surgery.

• Identification of causal mutation in two patients with Sotos Syndrome Features

  We performed whole exome sequencing (WES) on genomic DNA derived from two patients with Sotos Syndrome Features. Sequencing (100 base pair paired-end) was performed on an Illumina Hiseq 2000 sequencer after enrichment of 62Mb of exonic and adjacent intronic sequences with TruSeq Exome Enrichment Kit (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA).

• Somatic mutations in endometriosis and normal uterine endometrium

  To characterize the genomic features of endometriosis, we performed whole-exome sequencing for ovarian endometriotic epithelium samples obtained from subjects without concurrent gynecological cancers. Additionally, we analyzed histologically normal uterine endometrial epithelium samples obtained from subjects with benign gynecologic diseases. All the epithelium samples were isolated by laser microdissection from frozen sections.

• Evaluating the immune response in treatment-naive hospitalised patients with influenza and COVID-19

  Clinical characteristics and peripheral blood were acquired upon hospital admission from two well characterised cohorts, a cohort of patients infected with influenza and a cohort of patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 during the first wave of the pandemic and prior to availability of COVID-19 treatments and vaccines.

• Single-cell TCR sequencing of DQ2.5-hor-3-specific T cells

  In order to characterize the T cell receptor (TCR) repertoire of DQ2.5-hor-3-specific T cells, we performed high-throughput DNA sequencing of rearranged TCR-α and TCR-β genes of the single HLA-DQ2.5:DQ2.5-hor-3- tetramer binding CD4+ T cells isolated from biopsies of celiac disease patients. We also sequenced the TCR of the T-cell clones (TCCs) that were generated by cloning by limited dilution and antigen-free expansion of HLA-DQ2.5:DQ2.5-hor-3-tetramer binding CD4+ T cells from biopsies of celiac disease patients.

• Single cell analysis of human lung parenchyma

  Human lung tissue was obtained from deceased organ donors from whom organs were being retrieved for transplantation. Informed consent for the use of tissue was obtained from the donors’ families (REC reference: 15/EE/0152 NRES Committee East of England - Cambridge South). Fresh tissue from the peripheral parenchyma of the left lower lobe or lower right lobe of the lung was excised within 60 minutes of circulatory arrest and preserved in University of Wisconsin (UW) organ preservation solution (Belzer UW® Cold Storage Solution, Bridge to Life, USA) until processing.
