• Complete Genomics Deep Whole-Genome Sequencing of Circulating Tumor Cells from a Patient with Metastatic Breast Cancer

  Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are considered to be informative non-invasive biopsy for the early detection, diagnosis or therapy guidance of cancer. CTCs also contain most of the heterogeneity found across multiple metastatic sites. In this study, we combine recently improved CTC isolation methods, resulting in almost pure CTCs, with advanced whole genome sequencing (WGS) based on Long Fragment Read (LFR) technology to demonstrate, for the first time, the research and clinical utility of an accurate, comprehensive, phased, and quantitative genomic analysis of CTCs. In particular, genomes of 34 CTCs, collected at two different time points from a patient whose metastatic breast cancer ultimately became resistant to standard treatments, were analyzed as 3072 barcoded sub-genomic compartments of long DNA. An average read coverage of 23X per cell enabled the high-resolution detection of somatic variants, cancer copy number variations (CNVs) and structural variants, including 133 CNVs shorter than 1Mb and an early chromothripsis-like event.

• Integrated Analysis of Multimodal Single-Cell Datasets for SARS-CoV-2 Vaccination

  The study aimed to explore immune responses during a time course of BNT162b2 mRNA vaccination. To better characterize these responses, we utilize a suite of multi-modal single-cell sequencing technologies to identify and characterize antigen-specific CD8+ T cells. We leverage an integrative analysis strategy to characterize five molecular modalities in these cells. Our dataset enables the discovery of new subpopulations, molecular signatures, and developmental regulators of these cells. Moreover, we identify these cells in SARS-CoV-2 infected patients and demonstrate their positive predictive value for subsequent clinical recovery. The sequence data of CITE-seq, ASAP-seq and ECCITE-seq experiments are deposited in dbGaP. Peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) samples for CITE-seq and ASAP-seq were collected from six healthy donors at four time points: immediately before (Day 0) vaccination, after primary vaccination (Day 2, Day 10), and seven days after boost vaccination (Day 28). PBMC samples for ECCITE-seq were collected from eight healthy donors on Day 28.

• SEER Remote Access Pilot Test Data (2018)

  This is a limited use Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) file for use in a pilot test of remote data access. The SEER Program of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) is an authoritative source of information on cancer incidence and survival in the United States. SEER currently collects and publishes cancer incidence and survival data from population-based cancer registries covering approximately 34.6 percent of the U.S. population. The SEER Program registries routinely collect data on patient demographics, primary tumor site, tumor morphology and stage at diagnosis, first course of treatment, and follow-up for vital status. The mortality data reported by SEER are provided by the National Center for Health Statistics. The population data used in calculating cancer rates is obtained periodically from the Census Bureau. The SEER research data files include SEER incidence and population data associated by age, sex, race, year of diagnosis, and geographic areas.

• Human Liver Cohort (HLC)

  The Human Liver Cohort (HLC) study aimed to characterize the genetic architecture of gene expression in human liver using genotyping, gene expression profiling, and enzyme activity measurements of Cytochrom P450. The HLC was assembled from a total of 780 liver samples screened. DNA samples were genotyped on the Affymetrix 500K SNP and Illumina 650Y SNP genotyping arrays. Only data from those samples which were collected postmortem are accessible through this submission. These 228 samples represent a subset of the 427 samples included in the Human Liver Cohort Publication (Schadt, Molony et al. 2008, PMID: 18462017). RNA samples were profiled on a custom Agilent 44,000 feature microarray composed of 39,280 oligonucleotide probes targeting transcripts representing 34,266 known and predicted genes, including high-confidence, noncoding RNA sequences. Gene Expression data for the samples from which it could be obtained is available in GEO under accession number GSE9588. Results and networks will be made available for download from Sage Bionetworks.

• The Genomic Landscape of Interval Colorectal Cancers

  Interval colorectal cancers (CRC), cancers diagnosed after a screening/surveillance exam in which no cancer is detected, and before the date of the next recommended exam, reflect an unprecedented challenge in CRC detection and prevention. To better understand this poorly characterized CRC variant, we examined the clinical and mutational characteristics of interval CRCs in comparison to screen-detected CRCs. We used data from the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal and Ovarian (PLCO) cancer randomized controlled trial (RCT) of flexible sigmoidoscopy (FS) screening, which enrolled 154,900 men and women aged 55 to 74 years between 1993 and 2001. Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) was performed on 323 samples from 168 participants (data available through dbGaP). We found colorectal cancers diagnosed between screening exams (interval cancers) had significantly increased risk of death than screen detected cancers although no significant molecular differences were observed between screen-detected and interval CRC at the whole exome sequencing level.

• Spatial Transcriptomics Reveals Discrete Tumor Microenvironments and Autocrine Loops Within Ovarian Cancer Subclones

  Ovarian masses from patients with high grade serous ovarian carcinoma undergoing debulking surgery were subjected to spatial transcriptomics profiling using the 10x Genomics Visium (fresh frozen) platform. Copy number inference using inferCNV predicted the presence of subclones with mutually exclusive copy number alterations (CNAs) in 5 of the 8 patient samples studied. In one patient, 3 subclones were predicted. For this patient sample, a serial section of the same tumor was used to microdissect regions corresponding to each of these subclones, and a 'normal' region predicted to contain only fibroblasts and no tumor cells. These microdissected regions were processed for low pass whole genome sequencing (WGS) and CNAs recorded using ichorCNA. An oral biopsy lacking tumor cells from an unrelated donor was used as a negative control for CNA inference. The CNAs predicted by inferCNV for the three subclones were validated by the low pass WGS and no CNAs were observed in the normal region containing fibroblasts.

• Functional Genomic Landscape of Acute Myeloid Leukemia

  The implementation of targeted therapies for acute myeloid leukemia has been challenged by complex mutational patterns within and across patients as well as a dearth of pharmacologic agents for most mutational events. The initial findings from the Beat AML program were from a cohort of 672 tumor specimens collected from 562 patients. Additional patients have been added in subsequent versions. We assessed these specimens using whole exome sequencing, RNA-sequencing, and ex vivo drug sensitivity analyses. Our data reveal novel mutational events not previously detected in AML. We show association of drug response with mutational status, including instances of drug sensitivity that are specific to combinatorial mutational events. Integration with RNA-sequencing also revealed gene expression signatures, which predict a role of specific gene networks in drug response. Collectively, this report offers a dataset, accessible by the Beat AML data viewer (www.vizome.org), that can be leveraged to address clinical, genomic, transcriptomic, and functional inquiries into the biology of AML.

• Single cell chromatin accessibility allows analysis of the transposable element landscape, revealing shared features of immune tissue-residency

  Tissue adaptation is required for regulatory T (Treg) cells to function within organs. Whether this program shares similarities between different tissue-localized immune populations is poorly understood. Here, we addressed this by analyzing single-cell chromatin accessibility data, including the transposable element (TE) landscape, of CD45+ immune cells from different tissues. We identified features of organ-specific tissue adaptation across different immune cells. Focusing on tissue-Treg cells, we found that the Treg tissue adaptation program was conserved in other tissue-localized immune cells, such as amphiregulin-producing Th17 cells. Accessible TEs can act as regulatory elements but their contribution to tissue adaptation is unclear. TE landscape analysis revealed an enrichment of specific transcription factor binding motifs in TE regions within accessible chromatin peaks. TEs, specifically from the LTR family, were located in enhancer regions and associated with tissue adaptation. These findings broaden our understanding of immune tissue-residency, an important step towards organ-specific immune interventions.

• ROCHE PD 92 Multiome dataset

  This dataset contains 10X Multiome data generated on post-mortem brain from 92 individuals (70 PD, 22 controls). For the Roche_PD dataset, nuclei were isolated using Nuclei Pure Prep Nuclei Isolation Kit (Sigma Aldrich) with the following modifications. The tissue was lysed in Nuclei Pure Lysis Solution with 0.1% Triton X, 1mM DTT and 0.4U/ul SUPERase-In™ RNase Inhibitor (ThermoFisher Scientific) freshly added before use and homogenized with the help first of a 23G and then of a 29G syringe. Cold 1.8M Sucrose Cushion Solution, prepared immediately before use with the addition of1mM DTT and 0.4U/ul RNase Inhibitor, was added to the suspensions before they were filtered through a 30μm strainer. The lysates were then carefully and slowly layered on top of 1.8M Sucrose Cushion Solution previously added in new Eppendorf tubes. Samples were centrifuged for 45 minutes at 16000xg at 4°C. Pellets were re-suspended in Nuclei Storage Buffer with RNase Inhibitor, transferred in new Eppendorf tubes and centrifuged twice for 5 minutes at 500xg at 4°C. Finally purified nuclei were re-suspended in Nuclei Storage Buffer with RNase Inhibitor, stained with trypan blue and counted using Countess II (Life technology). After count, nuclei permeabilization was carried out following the demonstrated protocol for single cell multiome ATAC + Gene Expression sequencing from 10x Genomics. A total of 12,000 estimated nuclei from each sample was used for the transposition step and then loaded on the Chromium Next GEM Single Cell Chip J. ATAC library and gene expression library construction was performed using the Chromium Next GEM Single Cell Multiome ATAC + Gene Expression kit according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Libraries were sequenced using Illumina NovaSeq 6000 System and NovaSeq 6000 S2 Reagent Kit v1.5 (100 cycles), aiming at a minimum sequencing depth of 30K reads/nucleus. Genotype was generated as previously described (Bryois et al, Nature Neuroscience, 2022).

• Using NGS to Sequence Whole Genomes to Identify Genes Underlying ALS

  Our ALS Consortium - a partnership of clinicians, basic scientists, geneticists, and computational biologists from 48 institutions (4 of which are industry partners) across 5 countries - establishes a framework to apply whole genome sequencing (WGS) and functional genomics to the study of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Because ALS-causing mutations tend to be of moderate impact and are relatively rare in the population (reviewed in Al-Chalabi et al., 2017, PMID: 27982040), identification of new mutations require several thousand samples, which need to be obtained from multiple sites (even the busiest ALS clinics see only 200-400 patients per year). ALS Consortium is using genomics technologies to study the causes and mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative disease, and the contribution of various cell types within the brain and spinal cord. Much of this work is done and continues to be done in collaboration with the members of the NYGC ALS Consortium.
