• Type 2 Diabetes Genetic Exploration by Next-generation sequencing in multi-Ethnic Samples (T2D-GENES)

  The T2D-GENES/GoT2D 13K exome sequencing study includes ~13,000 samples, half T2D cases and half T2D controls, from five ancestries (~5K Europeans, ~2K each of African-American, East-Asian, South-Asian, and Hispanic). Samples underwent deep exome sequencing, with SNVs and INDEls called according to GATK best practices; variant sites were then filtered according to the GATK best practices, and then samples and variants underwent further filtering based on aggregate genotype quality as described in Fuchsberger et al. (e.g. low call rate, excess heterozygosity for samples, low call rate or coverage for variants). Please note that one of the samples in the T2D-GENES vcf does not have phenotype data.

• HV31 - Read identifier list for local CCS, CLR, ONT and MGI reads

  This file contains read identifiers for local CCS, CLR, ONT and MGI reads for each of the eight selected genomic regions (HLA, KIR, IGH, IGK, IGL, TRA, TRD, andTRG). We extracted these reads by aligning whole-genome sequencing data to a draft whole-genome de novo assembly, and selecting reads that map to contigs representing each region. These reads were involved in the polishing and validation of the HV31 assembly. Please refer to the relevant manuscript (https://doi.org/10.1101/2021.02.03.429586) for additional details. Read identifiers are stored in JSON format. Along with the full FASTQ files, this file enables convenient re-analysis of the HV31 sequencing data in the eight selected regions.

• ATAC-seq dataset of Single cell RNA sequencing reveals induced bifurcated differentiation after RUNX1::RUNX1T1 depletion in patient-derived leukemic blasts

  In this study, we demonstrate that primary AML cells harboring the chromosomal translocation t(8;21) are critically dependent on the corresponding fusion gene, RUNX1::RUNX1T1, to suppress differentiation and maintain stemness. Silencing RUNX1::RUNX1T1 expression using siRNA-loaded lipid nanoparticles induces significant changes in chromatin accessibility, redirecting the leukemia-associated transcriptional network towards a myeloid differentiation program. Single-cell analyses reveal that this transcriptional reprogramming is associated with the depletion of immature stem and progenitor-like cell populations, accompanied by an expansion of granulocytic and eosinophilic/mast cell-like populations with impaired self-renewal capacity.

• Normal prostatectomy project analysis and leftovers

  Data collected as part of the Normal prostatectomy project analysis. Whole genome sequencing (WGS, targeted at 30X for normal tissue and 50X for tumour tissue) was performed on morphologically normal tissue samples from 30 patients with prostate cancer. In addition, seven prostate tissue samples were sequenced from 7 non-cancer patients: two collected after a cystoprostatectomy and five from samples collected at autopsy. Matched blood controls were included for all patients. An extra five samples were sequenced from the stroma of cell cultured fibroblasts. In addition a few tumour samples obtained at prostatectomy and their blood matched controls are included in this dataset from the main study that are not included elsewhere.

• Use of Deep Sequencing to Dectect Clonal Mutations In Sun Exposed Skin Epidermis PART2

  This study aims to define the landscape of somatic mutations in sun exposed human skin by deep sequencing, analyse their frequency and use the data to infer the effect of mutations on proliferating cell behaviour. The frequency of each mutation will reflect the size of the clone of cells in the tissue sample. By analyzing small samples, clones with as few as 100 cells will be detectable. Allele frequency distributions for each mutation will be used to infer cell fate using published methods (Klein et al. 2010). This study will shed unprecedented light on the early clonal events that lead to the emergence of cancer.

• MPM cell lines

  RNA-sequencing data for 12 MPM cell lines treated with 0.1% DMSO or 1 µM palbociclib for 9-10 days. Experiment was performed in duplicates for sensitive cells (MPM08, MPM21, MPM38, MPM57, MPM59, Meso11, Meso13, Meso34 and Meso56) and only once for resistant cells (MPM31, MPM34 and MPM36) except for Meso11 which was done in triplicates. For Meso11, Meso13, Meso34 and Meso56, a drug washout of 48 hours was also performed. 4 MPM cell lines (MPM31, MPM34, MPM59 and MPM66) were also analyzed in untreated condition. 2 FASTQ files for each sample (n=56) (paired)

• Pathogenic Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) RNA splicing resolved by targeted RNAseq

  Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is caused by loss-of-function variants in the NF1 gene. Approximately 10% of these variants affect RNA splicing and are either missed by conventional DNA diagnostics or are misinterpreted by in silico splicing predictions. Therefore, a targeted RNAseq-based approach was designed to detect pathogenic RNA splicing and associated pathogenic DNA variants. an in-house developed tool (QURNAS) was used to calculate the enrichment score (ERS) for each splicing event. RNA enrichment of NF1 and SPRED1 was done using SPET (NUGEN - NF1 only) and using SureSelect (Agilent - NF1 and SPRED1).

• Mapping regulatory variation in sensory neurons using IPS lines from the HIPSCI project

  Sensory neurons are nerve cells that are activated by sensory input such as heat, light and convey information to the brain. Although a key cell type in complex organisms, human sensory neurons are challenging to study because they are impossible to obtain from living donors. We have collaborated with the Neucentis Pharmaceutical Research Unit to differentiate sensory neuron like cells from human induced pluripotent stem cells derived as part of the Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells Initiative. We will sequence RNA from 100 IPS lines derived from healthy individuals and perform RNA-seq on the differentiated cells to identify noncoding variants that alter gene expression in human sensory neurons.

• Comprehensive genetic analysis of uveal melanoma heterogeneity during metastatic progression

  Uveal melanoma (UM) is the most common primary intraocular malignancy in adults. Despite improvement of diagnosis and treatment of the primary tumor, there is no effective treatment of metastatic disease and approximately half of patients will die within one year or less following metastases detection. Tumor heterogeneity has been proposed as a key factor of drug resistance. However, it has been scarcely studied in UM. The present project aims searching for specific drivers of the metastatic progression, describing the genomic and transcriptomic landscape of metastatic UM, exploring tumor heterogeneity and investigating its role in drug resistance. Thus whole exome sequencing and transcriptomics have been performed on constitutional, primary tumor and metastatic samples from 28 UM patients.
