• Genomic Data Access Committee for Early and Late Onset Colorectal Cancer Study

  This Data Access Committee (DAC) manages access to genomic data generated from the study "A Clinically and Genomically Annotated Early Onset Colorectal Cancer and Late Onset Colorectal Cancer." The study focuses on identifying the distinct genomic profiles of early-onset colorectal cancer (EOCRC) compared to late-onset colorectal cancer (LOCRC) through whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of both tissue and blood samples. The DAC is responsible for reviewing and approving access requests from researchers who wish to utilize this data for non-commercial, academic purposes related to colorectal cancer research. The committee ensures that all data access is granted in compliance with ethical standards and that the data is used solely for the approved research objectives. Researchers requesting access to this data must provide a detailed research proposal, institutional review board (IRB) approval, and demonstrate relevant expertise in genomic research. All data will be stored in secure, encrypted environments, and any further sharing or use of the data requires additional DAC approval.

• analysis of immune infiltration in colorectal cancer metastasis

  Metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) is the main cause of CRC mortality, with limited treatment options. Although immunotherapy has benefited some cancer patients, mCRC typically lacks the molecular features that respond to this treatment. However, recent studies indicate that the immune microenvironment of mCRC may be modified to enhance the effect of immune checkpoint inhibitors. This study aimed to explore the metastatic immune microenvironment by comparing immune cell populations in colorectal liver (CLM), lung (mLu) and peritoneal (PM) metastases.

• Variant calling dataset from the whole-exome study of familial pulmonary fibrosis in the Canary Islands-VCF files

  Sequence reads were obtained from a set of 13 families with familial pulmonary fibrosis in the Canary Islands, Spain, using Illumina paired-end reads, respectively, at the Institute of Technology and Renewable Energy (ITER). Briefly, we used bcl2fastq v2.18 to perform sample demultiplexing and BWA-MEM v0.7.15 (https://github.com/lh3/bwa) to align reads to GRCh37/hg19 reference. Resulting BAM files were assessed with SAMtools v1.3 (http://www.htslib.org) and Picard v2.10.10 (https://broadinstitute.github.io/picard/) for quality control steps. Small insertions/deletions (< 50 bp) and single nucleotide variants (SNVs) were identified using an in-house bioinformatics pipeline based on GATK HaplotypeCaller v3.8 (https://gatk.broadinstitute.org/hc/en-us/articles/360037225632-HaplotypeCaller). This pipeline follows the Best Practices recommendations for germline variant calling and its description is publicly available (https://github.com/genomicsITER/benchmarking/tree/master/WES).

• Molecular biomarkers in progression from refractory celiac disease to the lethal cancer variety enteropathy associated T cell lymphoma (EATL)

  Enteropathy associated T cell lymphoma (EATL) is frequently preceded by a state of refractoriness to the gluten-free diet, called “refractory celiac disease” or RCD. We aim to study which mutations and copy number aberrations are already manifest in RCD and to identify differences between RCD patients that do, and do not, develop EATL. We have applied whole exome sequencing to detect mutations and copy number aberration predictive for progression from RCD to EATL.

• Atezolizumab and Bevacizumab in Treating Patients With Rare Solid Tumors

  This phase Ib/II single-arm study evaluated atezolizumab + bevacizumab for patients with treatment-refractory metastatic HPV+ anal cancer. The primary endpoint was best overall response, and secondary endpoints included progression-free survival, overall survival, and safety/tolerability. Paired tissue biopsies were collected in patients before treatment and at the time of first restaging and analyzed for whole-exome sequencing, RNAseq (Bulk), and multiplex immunofluorescence. The overall response rate among 20 patients was 10%. WES and RNAseq data are provided here.

• SweGen genetic variation from the Northern Sweden Population Health Study

  The dataset contains files with single nucleotide variants in VCF format for a total of 58 DNA samples originating from the Northern Sweden Population Health Study (NSPHS). For each of the 58 individuals, DNA was extracted from a blood sample and subject to whole genome sequencing (WGS). The WGS was performed using 2x150 bp paired-end chemistry on Illumina HiSeq X Ten instrumentation at the SciLifeLab National Genomics Infrastructure (NGI) in Stockholm and Uppsala. FASTQ files generated by WGS were analyzed using the nf-core pipeline Sarek, which includes pre-processing, alignment to the human GRCh38 reference genome, and germline variant calling. The NSPHS study was approved by the local ethics committee at the University of Uppsala (Regionala Etikprövningsnämnden, Uppsala, 2005:325 and 2016-03-09). All participants gave their written informed consent to the study including the examination of environmental and genetic causes of disease in compliance with the Declaration of Helsinki.

• SweGen whole-genome sequencing from the Northern Sweden Population Health Study

  The dataset contains whole-genome sequencing data (aligned read files) in CRAM-format (lossless compression) for a total of 58 DNA samples originating from the Northern Sweden Population Health Study (NSPHS). For each of the 58 individuals, DNA was extracted from a blood sample and subject to whole genome sequencing (WGS). The WGS was performed using 2x150 bp paired-end chemistry on Illumina HiSeq X Ten instrumentation at the SciLifeLab National Genomics Infrastructure (NGI) in Stockholm and Uppsala. FASTQ files generated by WGS were analyzed using the nf-core pipeline Sarek, which includes pre-processing, alignment to the human GRCh38 reference genome, and germline variant calling.

• NGS sequencing data of archival FFPE tumor tissue

  The aim of the study was to identify mutations in key ovarian cancer genes (BRCA1, BRCA2,TP53, PTEN, ATM, ATR, NF1) in archival fresh-frozen paraffin embedded (FFPE) tumor tissue from platinum-resistant ovarian cancer patients enrolled in the phase I/II GANNET53 clinical trial. From the enrolled 133 patients, archival FFPE tissue was available and DNA was extracted thereof. The DNA samples passing quality control (n=118) were NGS sequenced using the SureSeq™ Ovarian Cancer Panel and the NGS Library Preparation kit (Oxford Gene Technology), which covers all exons of 7 key ovarian cancer genes for single nucleotide variants (SNV) and indels, and the Illumina MiSeq platform. For the paired-end runs, one Read 1 (R1) and one Read 2 (R2) FASTQ file were created for each sample. FASTQ files were compressed and created with the extension \.fastq.gz.

• Spatial heterogeneity, stromal phenotypes, and therapeutic vulnerabilities in colorectal cancer peritoneal metastasis

  Peritoneal metastases (PM) in colorectal cancer (CRC) portend a poor prognosis. We sought to elucidate molecular features differentiating primary tumors (PTs) from PMs and actionable targets facilitating transcoelomic dissemination and progression. We performed multi-omic profiling of 217 samples from 136 patients, including 56 primary tumor (PT) and 120 PMs comprising 25 matched PT-PM pairs. Whole exome, and bulk RNA-seq analysis was conducted to identify underlying genomic aberrations and transcriptomic differences between primary and peritoneal lesions.

• Studies of L1-mediated Pseudogene Formation in Human HeLa Cells

  Alu elements mobilize from one genomic location to another by a "copy-and-paste" mechanism known as retrotransposition, which requires the human Long INterspersed Element-1 (LINE-1 or L1) ORF2-encoded protein (ORF2p); however, little is known about other cellular factors required for Alu retrotransposition. Isolates of HeLa cells differ in their ability to support Alu retrotransposition. Here, we generated Illumina whole genome sequencing data derived from four HeLa isolates: HeLa-H1, HeLa-CCL2, HeLa-HA, and HeLa-JVM.
