• Molecular Landscape of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Across Disease Stages and Genotypes

  Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) is marked by asymmetric cardiac wall thickening, enhanced contractility, diastolic dysfunction, and fibrosis. Pathogenic sarcomere gene variants cause HCM, but comparable abnormalities occur in patients with unexplained disease albeit with fewer adverse events. We applied single-nucleus RNA sequencing to investigate how genetic and unexplained HCM affect early disease mechanisms and to contrast HCM with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). This EGA dataset contains HCM and control data. DCM and additional control snRNA-seq data, integrated in this study, are available under the EGA dataset accession number: EGAD00001009292.

• Long-read single-cell genome, transcriptome and open chromatin profiling links genotype to phenotypes

  Current single-cell multiomics methods typically provide limited genomic information, constraining genotype-phenotype studies. To address this gap, we developed SPLONGGET (Single-cell Profiling of LONG-read Genome, Epigenome, and Transcriptome), which integrates 10X Genomics barcoding with Oxford Nanopore sequencing to simultaneously profile genome, chromatin accessibility, and full-length transcriptomes in thousands of single cells. By retaining all tagmentation fragments during library preparation, SPLONGGET delivers whole-genome coverage, supports target enrichment for effective single-cell genotyping, and remains backwards compatible with existing short-read workflows. We apply SPLONGGET to longitudinal samples from a case of pediatric B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) to reveal clonal dynamics during therapy and the phenotypic effects of somatic variation, providing valuable insights into disease progression and relapse. In conclusion, SPLONGGET enables integrated high-throughput analysis of genetic variation and molecular phenotypes using off-the-shelf kits, offering a timely and powerful tool to study genetically heterogeneous samples, such as tumours but also ageing normal tissues.

• Proteomics of human cancer-associated T cells identifies regulators of T cell functionality

  CD8⁺ T cells in solid tumors progressively lose anti-tumor activity, yet the cell-intrinsic mechanisms driving this loss of function remain incompletely defined. Here, we performed matched proteomic and transcriptomic profiling of dysfunctional and bystander CD8⁺ tumor-infiltrating T cells isolated from primary tumors of treatment-naïve non-small cell lung cancer patients. Proteomic analysis revealed widespread discordance with mRNA expression, with 8% of differentially expressed proteins detected exclusively at the protein level. Genetic perturbation of such differentially expressed proteins identified the chromatin remodeler CHD4 and fatty acid synthase (FASN) as cell-intrinsic regulators of T cell function. CHD4 deletion promoted effector differentiation and enhanced cytokine production, whereas FASN deletion preserved mitochondrial fitness and sustained T cell functionality under chronic T cell receptor stimulation. Together, these findings demonstrate that proteomic profiling uncovers regulators of T cell functionality that are not apparent from transcriptomic analyses alone, highlighting an additional layer of regulatory control.

• Frequency and prognostic significance of genetic abnormalities in a subgroup of intermediate risk neuroblastoma patients: A SIOPEN study

  Intermediate risk neuroblastoma includes a rare subgroup of patients over the age of 18 months at diagnosis with unresectable, localised tumours with unfavourable histology without MYCN amplification. This group is treated differently around the world with some patients receiving upfront myeloablative therapy (MAT) in addition to standard treatment with chemotherapy, surgery, radiotherapy and 13 cis retinoic acid, but the overall 5-year patient survival with or without MAT is similar (75%). This study aimed to understand the neuroblastoma biology of this rare patient subgroup.

• Reduced platelet formation associated with serine metabolic dysregulation in integrin αIIbβ3-deficient megakaryocytes

  Glanzmann Thrombasthenia (GT) is characterized by absent platelet aggregation in response to all agonists except ristocetin and is caused by recessive inactivating variants in ITGA2B or ITGB3. While GT patients typically are described as having normal platelet counts, autosomal dominant activating variants in ITGA2B or ITGB3 cause macrothrombocytopenia. Interestingly, in our cohort of 16 GT patients, eight consistently exhibited platelet counts at the lower end of the normal range. We studied the role of integrin αIIbβ3 in platelet formation using megakaryocytes (MKs) derived from genetically modified immortalized megakaryocyte cell lines (imMKCLs), focusing on two modifications of ITGB3: ITGB3-/- (inactivating) and ITGB3WT/D673_E713del (activating). In static differentiation cultures, ITGB3-/- and ITGB3WT/D673_E713del imMKCLs exhibited normal MK differentiation but reduced proplatelet formation. Platelet production was also impaired in a 3D silk-based bone marrow system and in shaking cultures, confirming a quantitative role for ITGB3 in platelet production, independent of the type of variant. While TRAP-activated in vitro-generated platelets lacking αIIbβ3 failed to bind the activation-dependent PAC-1 antibody, ITGB3WT/D673_E713del platelets bound PAC-1 prior to activation mimicking the patient’s phenotype. Transcriptome profiling and metabolomic analyses ofintegrin αIIbβ3 deficient MKs revealed impaired serine metabolism and downregulation of SLC3A2 (CD98hc), an amino acid transporter chaperon known to interact with the β3 subunit. Flow cytometry confirmed decreased CD98hc in mutant MKs, while re-expression of wild-type ITGB3 in ITGB3-/- MKs restored αIIbβ3 and CD98hc expression, normalized proplatelet formation, and enhanced serine uptake. These results uncover a previously unrecognized role of integrin αIIbβ3 in coupling serine metabolism to platelet biogenesis.

• RASA2 deletion rescues immune synapse dysfunction, enhancing CAR T cell efficacy against DMGs

  Methods: We compared the efficacy of B7-H3 CAR T-cells between SJ-DIPGX7c (DMG) and U87-MG (adult glioblastoma) patient-derived cell lines and showed impaired efficacy both in vitro and in vivo. We performed live-cell imaging and single-cell RNA sequencing to investigate deficiencies in immune synapse (IS) formation between CAR T-cells and DMGs. Lastly, we genetically deleted RASA2, a negative regulator of T cell activation, and evaluated the resulting impact on IS formation and quality, as well as in vitro and in vivo functionality. Sample preparation and sequencing For single cell RNA sequencing, two sets of co-culture arrays were prepared: (1) 2.5×106 Ctrl T cells were co-cultured with 2.5×106 tumor cells (SJ-DIPGX7c, SJ-DIPGX9c, SJ-DIPGX37c, D425, ST1, and U87-MG) and (2) 1×106 CAR T-cells were co-cultured with 4×106 tumor cells (SJ-DIPGX7c, SJ-DIPGX9c, SJ-DIPGX37c, D425, ST1, and U87-MG). Both co-culture arrays were incubated at 37°C 5% CO2 for 16 hours. Co-cultures were enzymatically digested with Accutase (Thermofisher; A1110501) for 10 min at room temperature, and cells were filtered by using Miltenyi dead cell removal kit (Miltenyi; 130-090-101). Highly viable cells were recovered and prepared using the Fixation Kit (PARSE Bioscience) according to manufacturer ‘s protocol. After fixation, the cell count was determined by using a Neubauer hemocytometer. A total of 1.14×105 cells from 12 coculture conditions were used, resulting in approximately 9.5×104 cells per condition. These cells were subjected to the Single Cell Whole Transcriptomic kit v2 (PARSE Bioscience) for library construction. Libraries were subsequently sequenced using the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 platform, generating paired-end 200 bp reads.

• Population histories of the Indigenous Adivasi and Sinhalese from Sri Lanka using whole genomes

  Sri Lanka has played a key role in the peopling of South Asia, with archaeological evidence for human presence on the island dating back to ⁓40,000 years ago. Present-day Indigenous peoples of the island, the Adivasi, are proposed to have descended from early inhabitants of the region, while urban populations like the Sinhalese, the major ethnic group on the island, migrated from India in historical times. Using whole genomes from 19 Adivasi individuals belonging to two clans and from 35 Sinhalese, we find that the Adivasi and Sinhalese share high genetic similarities with each other and with other Sri Lankan and Indian populations, especially those with greater genetic affinity to Ancestral South Indians (ASI). Admixture modeling of the Sri Lankan groups reveals that despite shared ancestral components, the Adivasi retain higher genetic contributions from ancient hunter-gatherers compared with the Sinhalese. Additionally, in contrast to the Sinhalese, the Adivasi have maintained low effective population size and undergone strong founder events, which is consistent with their hunter-gatherer lifestyle, historic relocations, and habitat fragmentation. While the two Adivasi clans are genetically more similar to each other than to any other populations, we observe differing demographic histories, with the Interior Adivasi experiencing a stronger bottleneck than the Coastal Adivasi since their split. This whole-genome-based study addresses gaps in our understanding of the demographic and migratory history of two key Sri Lankan groups and, consequently, of broader South Asia by illuminating complex population structure that has been shaped by both demographic and socio-cultural factors.

• Plasma CTCF ChIP-seq Reveals Cancer-Associated cfDNA Binding Profiles

  Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in plasma predominantly exists as nucleoprotein complexes. Although circulating CTCF-bound cfDNA (cfCTCF-DNA) has previously been reported, the occupancy of individual CTCF binding sites in plasma has not been systematically characterised. This study describes the isolation of endogenous plasma cfCTCF-DNA by chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by next-generation sequencing (ChIP-seq) in samples obtained from cancer patients and healthy individuals. A two-step enrichment strategy was employed, combining physical removal of background cfDNA by immunoprecipitation with bioinformatic filtering to remove residual non-CTCF-derived sequences. Sequencing reads were aligned to the UCSC hg38 reference genome using BWA-MEM v0.7.17 and processed to generate CRAM files containing alignments restricted to the primary chromosomes (chr1–chr22, chrX, chrY and chrM). CTCF-associated cfDNA fragments were classified according to their similarity to a consensus CTCF binding motif, enabling discrimination between low-affinity and high-affinity CTCF binding sites. Comparative analyses identified quantitative and qualitative differences in plasma cfCTCF-DNA profiles between healthy individuals and patients with cancer. The deposited dataset comprises plasma cfCTCF-DNA ChIP-seq data from four clinical cohorts and includes both CTCF-enriched and total cfDNA samples where applicable. These data support the investigation of CTCF occupancy patterns as a novel class of liquid biopsy biomarkers for cancer detection and monitoring.

• Urine cfDNA workflow for epigenomic profiling.

  Urine cell-free DNA (cfDNA) holds great promise as a non-invasive biomarker for diagnosis, prognosis and treatment monitoring of diseases. However, its clinical utility is challenged by high nuclease activity and rapid degradation, necessitating an optimized urine cfDNA workflow. We evaluated a workflow for urine cfDNA methylation and fragmentation profiling, comparing PAXgene Urine Technology, with Streck Urine Preserve and unstabilized urine, using enzymatic methyl sequencing of cfDNA from healthy individuals, across multiple urine storage time points (immediate, 6 h, and 72 h). Urine stabilization significantly improved cfDNA yield and preserved cfDNA fragment sizes, while unstabilized samples exhibited marked degradation and reduced sequencing quality. Methylation analysis revealed high concordance between stabilized samples, with subtle divergence after 72 h. In contrast, unstabilized samples showed widespread methylation changes. Biological patterns were retained in stabilized urine cfDNA. Our study underscores the importance of well-designed (pre)analytical urine workflows to allow urine cfDNA (epi)genomic analyses.

• Circulating cell-free DNA methylation profiles as noninvasive multiple sclerosis biomarkers: A proof-of-concept study

  In chronic neurodegenerative diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS), there is a critical unmet need for cost-effective non-invasive blood biomarkers to concurrently classify disease subtypes, monitor disability severity, and predict long-term progression. In this proof-of-concept study, we performed low-coverage whole-genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) on 75 plasma cell-free DNA (cfDNA) samples collected from a well-characterized real-world prospective clinic cohort with longitudinal disability outcome measurements. We assessed the clinical utility of cfDNA methylation profile for differentiating MS patients from non-MS controls, classifying MS subtypes, estimating disability severity, and predicting disease trajectories.

By tracing allele-specific telomeric sequence in family members across multiple generations, we show that telomeric variant sequences (TVSs) interspersed throughout the canonical repeat region are heritable (with mean similarity score > 0.95), allele-specific, and account for the extreme heterogeneity of telomere length between alleles.

• Chromosomal mutational signatures of DNA damaging agents at single cell resolution

  The chromosomal scale mutational spectrum of small molecules that interact with DNA has been hard to study at scale, as mutational events are distributed in location and occur in parallel in different cells. Here, we present a framework that pairs phylogenetic ancestry reconstruction with mutational signature decomposition to characterise recent, cell-private CNA mutational processes at single-cell resolution. We used this framework to characterize the cell-wise “foreground” of contemporaneous CNAs induced by strand-break inducing chemotherapeutic drugs of different mechanisms. We demonstrate that platinum salts, G-quadruplex stabilizers and topoisomerase II inhibitors, although mechanistically distinct, converge on a mutational signature dominated by telomere-bounded copy-number gain and losses. This signature is observed in different genetic backgrounds and in vivo, in drug treated patient derived-xenograft tumours. We also observe a high rate of endogenous telomere-bounded mutational foreground in BRCA1 deficient cells. We show that the single cell genome derived signature exposures are drug dose-dependent, and use this to identify the decay of mutational load after drug withdrawal. We observe that both cisplatin and a G4 binder molecule (CX5461) exhibit foreground mutational signature persistence up to 3 weeks after drug withdrawal, suggesting that residual effects of exposure may last longer than anticipated. Finally, extending the framework to serially drug-treated patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models, we show that telomere-bounded CNA signature exposure is associated with tumour response across and resistance states exhibit only background levels of mutational signatures. This is consistent with loss of mutational activity on the genome, as opposed to acquired tolerance to chromosomal mutations as a mechanism for some forms of chemotherapeutic drug resistance. Together our results show that scWGS can identify contemporaneous chromosomal mutation patterns induced by small molecules in human tissues.

• Multi-faceted metastasis decoding: clonal fitness, site pressure, and transcriptional modulation

  The dynamics of unique pressures that evolve metastasis fitness due to genetic and non-genetic components in relationship to primary versus metastatic site has remained difficult to decipher due to the highly complex and intertwined relationship of these features to the heterogeneous clonal structures within tumors. To simplify this problem, we generated serially passaged patient-derived xenografts (PDX) that developed reproducible metastasis and examined them for robust clonal selection using DLP+ single cell genome sequencing. This clonal composition analysis identified a simpler PDX model of metastases that displayed very high intra-PDX clonal competitive fitness, marked with dominant and differential clonal sweeps at metastatic and primary sites by different clones. Further testing this fitness using the different combinations of clones’ transplantation, re-confirmed this high clonal selectivity of a metastatically fit clone at metastatic sites compared to the primary site, hence revealing copy number aberration (CNA) clonal state dependent fixed metastasis fitness. Overall, by testing 9 PDX lines we found two lines with reproducible metastasis which identified a model that simplified the complexities of tumor evolution during metastasis and revealed the dominant role of favorable CNA clonal structure in fixating fitness.

• ATACseq of CD4 and CD8 T cells from CLL patients and age-matched HD

  This study investigates chromatin accessibility landscapes in CD4+ and CD8+ T cells from patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and age-matched healthy donors (HD). Briefly, peripheral blood T cells were isolated using magnetic bead-based negative selection, with CD4+ or CD8+ fractions further purified by FACS sorting. Samples were either used at baseline or after 2 days of acd3-cd28 stimulation in vitro. ATAC-seq libraries were generated using the Omni-ATAC protocol and sequenced as paired-end reads on an Illumina NovaSeq platform. Data were processed using the ENCODE ATAC-seq pipeline, including quality control, adapter trimming, alignment to the GRCh38 reference genome, duplicate removal, and assessment of library quality metrics. Accessible chromatin regions were identified by peak calling, followed by differential accessibility analysis between CLL and HD samples using DESeq2 within DiffBind. The study aims to define disease-associated regulatory changes in T cell subsets in CLL, with emphasis on epigenetic alterations underlying T cell dysfunction we report in out in vitro readouts.

• Terminal differentiation program of CD8 T cells guides immunotherapeutic options for CLL patients

  Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) remains incurable and autologous T-cell-based therapies induce durable remissions in only a minority of patients. Although poor T-cell performance in CLL has been attributed to exhaustion, T cells from CLL patients retain cytokine production and lack key transcriptional markers of exhaustion, suggesting an alternative state of differentiation. Here, we performed an integrated phenotypic, epigenetic and functional analysis of circulating CD8⁺ T cells from treatment-naive CLL patients to define the nature and therapeutic relevance of terminal differentiation in CLL. CD8⁺ T cells from treatment-naive CLL patients were enriched for a terminally differentiated, CD27⁻CD28⁻CD57⁺KLRG1⁺ population with several senescence-associated features, including increased cell size, granularity, β-galactosidase activity, and reduced basal autophagy. However, these cells lacked key hallmarks of irreversible senescence. Instead, CLL T cells mounted robust but transient proliferative bursts and developed activation-associated γH2AX signals followed by impaired persistence and increased cell death upon repeated activation. Especially CD57⁺ T cells were vulnerable and incompatible with the experimental steps required for CAR T-cell manufacturing. The potent, acute effector function of these cells could, however, be harnessed by bispecific T-cell engagers, which induced effective cytolysis of both cell lines and primary CLL targets by these T cells. Collectively, our data support a model in which CD8+ T-cell dysfunction in CLL reflects accumulation of short-lived, terminally differentiated effector cells rather than canonical exhaustion or irreversible senescence. This state limits durable persistence required for CAR T-cell approached while preserving acute cytotoxicity relevant for bispecific antibody-based therapies in CLL.

• A spatiotemporal cancer cell trajectory underlies glioblastoma heterogeneity

  Abstract: Cancer cells display highly heterogeneous and plastic states in glioblastoma, an incurable brain tumour. However, how these malignant states arise and whether they follow a tractable cellular trajectory across tumours is poorly understood. Here, we generated a deep single cell and spatial multi-omic atlas of human glioblastoma that pairs transcriptomic, epigenomic and genomic profiling of 12 tumours across multiple regions. We identify that glioblastoma heterogeneity is driven by spatially-patterned transitions of cancer cells from developmental-like states towards those defined by a glial injury response and hypoxia. This cancer cell trajectory regionalizes tumours into distinct tissue niches and manifests in a conserved manner across tumours as well as genetically distinct tumour subclones. Moreover, using a new deep learning framework to jointly map cancer cell states and clones in situ, we show that tumour subclones are finely spatially intermixed through glioblastoma tissue niches. Finally, we show that this cancer cell trajectory is intimately linked to myeloid heterogeneity and unfolds across regionalised myeloid signalling environments. Our findings define a stereotyped trajectory of cancer cells in glioblastoma and unify glioblastoma tumour heterogeneity into a tractable cellular and tissue framework.

• Heterogeneous endocrine cell composition defines human islet functional phenotypes

  Phenotyping and genotyping initiatives within the Integrated Islet Distribution Program (IIDP), the largest source of human islets for research in the U.S., provide standardized assessment of islet preparations distributed to researchers and enable the integration of multiple data types. Data from islets of the first 299 organ donors without diabetes analyzed using this pipeline highlights substantial heterogeneity in islet cell composition associated with hormone secretory traits, sex, reported race and ethnicity, genetically predicted ancestry, and genetic risk for type 2 diabetes (T2D). While α and β cell composition influenced insulin and glucagon secretory traits, the abundance of δ cells showed the strongest association with insulin secretion and was also associated with the genetic risk score (GRS) for T2D. These findings have important implications for understanding mechanisms underlying diabetes heterogeneity and islet dysfunction and may provide insight into strategies for personalized medicine and β cell replacement therapy.

• G4SCOPE identifies sequence features and epigenetic contexts of chromatin G-quadruplexes

  Cancer-associated epigenetic remodeling involves both DNA secondary structures and covalent cytosine modifications, yet predicting chromatin-constrained G-quadruplex (G4) folding remains challenging. Here, we develop G4SCOPE, a multi-task deep learning framework that predicts G4 occupancy and quantitative CUT&Tag signal directly from DNA sequence in isogenic human breast epithelial cells. Trained across wild-type, TP53-deficient, TP53/BRCA1-deficient and TP53/BRCA2-deficient backgrounds, the model integrates convolutional motif learning with transformer-based self-attention to capture local motifs and broader contextual sequence features without auxiliary epigenomic inputs. It distinguishes chromatin-associated G4s from GC-matched loci with in vitro G4-forming potential, captures quantitative variation in local CUT&Tag signal, and performs consistently across the four breast epithelial genotypes. Independent application in K562 cells further supports the portability of the framework to a distinct cellular context. Model-derived G4 representations also separate loci with distinct local 5-methylcytosine and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine profiles. Together, these results show that DNA sequence can predict chromatin G4 occupancy and quantitative CUT&Tag signal, and that the learned representations reflect differences in local cytosine-modification state.

• SweGen: a whole-genome data resource of genetic variability in a cross-section of the Swedish population

  The SweGen project represents a comprehensive map of genetic variation in the Swedish population. This Study contains four datasets where the first one contains whole-genome sequencing data in CRAM-format for 942 individuals from the Swedish Twin Registry, the second one contains genetic variant frequencies in VCF-format for the same individuals, the third one contains whole-genome sequencing data in CRAM-format for 58 individuals from the Northern Sweden Population Health Study and the fourth one contains genetic variant frequencies in VCF-format for the same individuals. The data, serving as a reference dataset, is a valuable and national resource for genetics research and clinical diagnostics and can be used, for instance, to increase understanding of both rare and complex disorders. It also serves as an international resource for larger studies of human population genetics.
