• NHLBI TOPMed - NHGRI CCDG: Groningen Genetics of Atrial Fibrillation (GGAF) Study

  Atrial fibrillation (also called AFib or AF) is a quivering or irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia) that can lead to blood clots, stroke, heart failure and other heart-related complications. The Groningen Genetics of Atrial Fibrillation (GGAF) cohort is a cohort composed from 5 different sources of individuals with atrial fibrillation (AF) and age and sex-matched controls. Written informed consent was provided from all participating individuals, and all 5 studies were approved by the ethical committee at the University Medical Center (www.atrialfibrillationresearch.nl) and Maastricht University. All samples selected for TOPMed WGS are from individuals with atrial fibrillation.

• SCI-MAP: Single Cell Microgel embedded iPS-cells to map molecular variability of cell differentiation using a systems biology approach.

  In the SCI-MAP project we will map cell states encountered across a previously established 49 day in vitro chondrogenic differentiation protocol. We do this to optimise the differentiation process for therapeutic and in vitro modelling ends. We collect epigenetic open chromatin and phenotypic transcriptome data to determine cell states and so performed single nucleus sequencing in two modalities: RNA- and ATAC-sequencing. Data was collected in a time series experiment at 7 points: Days 0, 3, 6, 8, 14, 21, and 49, starting with the first pilot data from day 21 (D21).

• Multi-omic analyses from a randomized phase II study of epigenetic priming followed by nivolumab in previously treated metastatic non-small cell lung cancer

  Emergence of resistance to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) mandates the development of strategies for ICB sensitization. We aimed to understand the effects of epigenetic priming in re-shaping the tumor microenvironment, together with molecular drivers of therapeutic response of epigenetic therapy followed by ICB in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC; NCT01928576). This was done through a multi-omic approach encompassing both genomic and transcriptomic analyses. Findings suggest that epigenetic therapy may reshape the tumor microenvironment towards a more inflamed phenotype and prime responses to immunotherapy.

• Feasibility study of enzymatic methylation sequencing of cell-free DNA from cerebrospinal fluid of pediatric brain tumors for classification

  Array-based DNA methylation profiling is the gold standard for molecular classification of brain tumors. However, it relies on significant amount of input DNA extracted from surgical tissue, thus limiting its use for tumors where biopsy is challenging or limited in quantity. Cell-free tumor DNA (cfDNA) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) presents alternative opportunities for brain tumor diagnosis and disease monitoring following treatment. Novel enzymatic DNA methylation sequencing (EM-seq) methods may allow us to overcome input DNA limitations and accurately quantify methylation from cfDNA for tumor classification.

• Fecal microbiome of T2D patients undergoing semaglutide or empagliflozin treatment

  The gut microbiome has been shown to be affected by the use of many human-targeted medications, and the interaction can be bidirectional. This has been clearly demonstrated for type 2 diabetes medications that have been in clinical use for several decades. However, the bidirectional effects of novel type 2 diabetes drugs semaglutide, empagliflozin, and the gut microbiome have yet to be clearly described. We investigated the effect of semaglutide and empagliflozin initiation on the gut microbiome of type 2 diabetes patients. In addition, we analyzed whether the pre-treatment gut microbiome can predict the treatment efficacy. Twenty subjects (10 women and 10 men) were enrolled in the study between November 2019 and January 2023 from the University of Tartu Hospital, Tartu, Estonia. All participants had been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. The study group taking semaglutide included 6 women and 4 men, and the group prescribed empagliflozin included 4 women and 6 men. Gut microbiome fecal samples donated at four timepoints (Baseline, Month 1, Month 3; Month 12) were studied using 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing and analysis.

• 300BCG study ATAC-seq data: human population variation of trained immunity

  ATAC-seq dataset for the paper: Title Multi-omics analysis of human population variation in immune function and in vivo response to BCG vaccination Abstract Immune responses are tightly regulated, yet highly variable between individuals. To investigate human population variation of trained immunity, we immunized healthy individuals with Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG). This live attenuated vaccine induces not only an adaptive immune response against tu-berculosis, but also triggers innate immune activation and memory. We established personal immune profiles and chromatin accessibility maps over a time course of BCG vaccination in 323 individuals. This large resource uncovered genetic and epigenetic predictors of baseline immunity and BCG vaccine response. We found that BCG vaccination enhances the innate immune response only in individuals with dormant immune states at baseline, suggesting that exogeneous induction of trained immunity is not a universal booster of innate immunity, but specifically elevates weak innate immune responses. This study advances our understanding of BCG’s heterologous immune-stimulatory effects and trained immunity in humans. Moreover, our results highlight the value of epigenetic cell states as an “endo-phenotype” that connects immune function with genotype and the environment.

• Muscle SATellite cell study (MSAT)

  Skeletal muscle fiber type distribution has implications for human health, muscle function and performance. This knowledge has been gathered using labor-intensive and costly methodology that limited these studies. This data was used to present a new method based on muscle tissue RNA sequencing data to estimate the distribution of skeletal muscle fiber types from frozen human samples, allowing for larger number of individuals to be tested in a cost and labor efficient way. Muscle biopsies were taken from the vastus lateralis muscle of 39 Swedish male subjects. Samples were sequenced on the NextSeq® 500/550 (Illumina).

• Primary breast cancers and paired brain metastases sequencing study

  Improving management of brain metastases (BM) from primary breast cancer (PBC) is a challenge in which targeted therapies play a promising role. However this approach is impaired by miss-knowledge of molecular patterns of the metastatic and drug-resistance processes.We performed a differential analysis of copy-number-alterations (CNAs) and mutations profiles by using pan-genomic array-CGH and targeted next-generation-sequencing of 494 cancer-associated genes, in a series of 14 pairs of matched PBC/BM and assessed if the observed genomic alterations may be used as a druggable agent in a clinical trial.

• Benchmarking of ProSolo, a new probabilistic single nucleotide variant caller for single cell DNA sequencing data. This study provides the whole exome sequencing dataset used in this assessment.

  Benchmarking of ProSolo, a new probabilistic single nucleotide variant caller for single cell DNA sequencing data that provides control over the false discovery rate of different single cell events at genomic sites (e.g. alternative allele presence or allele dropout). Here, we provide the newly generated whole exome sequencing data used in assessing ProSolo's performance. It contains whole exome sequencing of: a patient with a constitutional mismatch repair defect (MSH6-) and their parents and siblings, a granulocyte bulk sample and 5 single granulocytes sequenced after whole genome amplification.
