• IMMUcan Upstream SCCHN3 cohort

  The goal of IMMUcan is to understand how the immune system interacts with tumors and how therapeutic interventions influence this interaction. This cohort includes patients from the UPSTREAM trial, with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) cancer which has spread (metastatic) or the tumour has come back after previous treatment (recurrent). Comprehensive profiling data are integrated with longitudinally collected clinical information. Cellular profiling of the same tumor samples was performed using multiplex immunofluorescence imaging, imaging mass cytometry, and H&E staining.

• Long read transcriptome of DM1 patients whole blood

  DM1 is characterized by dysregulation of alternative mRNA splicing, to an quantitative as well as qualitative extend that is heterogenous between clinically similar patients. Hundreds of transcripts have been identified that can be misspliced in DM1, and for many of these it is still unclear whether they generate stable proteins in DM1 patients. We generated long-read transcriptome data of DM1 patients whole blood after hemoglobin depletion. Each sample is a mix of 5 patients of varying age.

• Whole Genome Sequencing of HER2-Positive Metastatic Extramammary Paget’s Disease: A Case Report

  Extramammary Paget’s disease (EMPD) is a rare cancer that occurs within the epithelium of the skin. Whole genome sequencing of the tumor and matched blood was performed. Whole genome sequencing revealed the underlying copy number variation landscape in HER2-positive metastatic EMPD. The presence of alternative signalling pathways and genetic variants suggests potential interactions with HER2 signalling, which possibly contributed to the HER2 overexpression and observed response to HER2-directed therapy combined with other agents in a comprehensive treatment regimen.

• Transcriptome HCCO Hypoxia and Doxorubicin resistance

  We hypothesized that HCCO-intrinsic determinants of response to hypoxia or doxorubicin could be reflected in the gene expression profiles of the HCCOs. Therefore, we selected for comparative transcriptomic analysis two sets of 4 HCCO lines that were severely (hypoxia-sensitive) or barely affected (hypoxia-resistant) by hypoxia in an ATP-based proliferation assay or two sets of 4 HCCO lines whose doxorubicin response curves were clearly separated both under normoxic and hypoxic culture conditions for comparative transcriptomic analysis.

• Epigenetic memory of SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination in monocyte-derived macrophages

  Immune memory is key to effective antimicrobial responses, but the impact of mRNA vaccines on this process is not fully understood. Our research shows that SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines alter the epigenetic profile of human macrophages, specifically enhancing histone acetylation, which is linked to immune training. Significant epigenetic changes, along with increased cytokine release, require two vaccine doses. However, these effects diminish over time but can be restored with a booster dose six months later, maintaining a strong pro-inflammatory response.

• 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).

• fragmentomic features of individuals with different cfDNA concentrations

  The uploaded data includes sequencing data of 862 individuals from the nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) screening study. Samples from this cohort were sequenced using targeted sequencing methods for the Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) and selected autosomal DNA, but only ‘off-target’ reads were used for fragmentomic analyses. We have also performed genome-wide (non-targeted sequencing) for 1) Individuals with the highest and lowest cell-free DNA concentration (40 individuals); 2) A subsequent collection of the subjects with the highest and lowest DNA concentrations after six years (26 individuals); 3) 30 cases of pregnancy and 4) 20 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. All sequencing data are of extracted plasma cfDNA from human subjects. The targeted sequencing samples from 862 individuals were sequenced on the NextSeq500 System (Illumina) and aligned to the EBV genome (AJ507799.2) and the human genome (hg19). The alignments were provided in bam format. The original fastq files of the remaining non-target sequencing samples were provided.

• Adipose transcriptome response after a 6-day very-low energy fast in obesity, in the single-arm feeding trial FASTOMICS-6

  Background: Fasting and ketogenic diets have gained popularity due to potential health benefits, in part via autophagy and other protective processes. However, although the basic physiology of fasting is well-established, we lack a deeper understanding of mechanisms on the tissue level and associated metabolome changes, particularly in humans. Method: 4 males and 9 females with severe obesity underwent a very-low-energy in-hospital feeding study (600 kcal/day). Plasma (n=13) and subcutaneous adipose tissue samples (n=12) were collected in the morning before and after 6 days and analyzed by GC-MS/MS and RNA-sequencing, respectively. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) and weighted gene co-expression network analysis were used to identify biological pathways and modules of affected genes and their correlation with plasma ketones and metabolites.

• Integrated Methylation and Copy Number Analysis for Non-invasive Bladder Cancer Detection in Urine

  The molecular analysis of urine cell-free DNA (cfDNA) offers a non-invasive tool to advance bladder cancer (BC) management. Assessment of somatic copy number aberrations (SCNA) and DNA methylation, as singular or complementary analysis, have emerged as promising approaches for BC detection. Here, we developed an integrated analysis to assess both SCNA and targeted methylation changes from the same template molecules, named the iSECURE (integrated SEquencing-based Copy number and methylation analysis in URinE) method.
