• Burden_of_Disease_in_Sarcoma

  Genomic libraries (500 bps) will be generated from total genomic DNA derived from cancer samples and subjected to 50 bp, paired end sequencing on the llumina HiSeq 2000. Paired reads will be mapped to build 37 of the human reference genome to facilitate the generation of genome wide copy number information, and the identification of novel rearranged cancer genes and gene fusions.

• Whole genome bisulfite sequencing of hepatitis B virus-associated hepatocellular carcinoma tumor and non-cancerous samples

  To understand comprehensive epigenetic alterations in hepatitis B virus-associated HCC, we have conducted a whole genome bisulfite sequencing of 5 tumor samples and 3 non-cancerous samples (3 pairs and 2 tumors).

• A genomic approach towards an understanding of clonal evolution and disease progression in multiple myeloma

  Multiple Myeloma (MM) is a largely incurable haematological malignancy defined by the clonal proliferation of malignant plasma cells within the bone marrow. Clonal heterogeneity has recently been established as a feature in MM, however, the subclonal evolution associated with disease progression has not been described. We used whole exome sequencing to analyse 10 paired patient samples, providing new insights into the progression from Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance (MGUS) and Smouldering MM (SMM), to symptomatic MM. We confirm that clonal heterogeneity is a common feature at diagnosis and that the driving events involved in disease progression are more complex than previously reported. While we observe some previously identified known “drivers” of MM, we find that the driving events involved in progression are complex and not limited to the known SNVs or CNVs. The RAS/MAPK pathway was found to be the most frequently deregulated pathway, with recurrent mutations in KRAS and NRAS observed in patients at both MGUS/SMM and MM stages. We reveal that MM evolution is mainly characterised by the phenomenon of clonal stability, where the subclonal plasma cell populations identified at MM progression are already present in the asymptomatic MGUS/SMM stages. These subclonal populations could be amenable to therapeutic intervention to arrest transformation to MM.

• Mutational_Signatures_of_relapse_in_rectal_cancer_FFPE_samples_in_the_CR07_clinical_trial

  The CRO7 clinical trial recruited patients with clinically operable rectal adenocarcinoma. Patients were randomized to either pre-operative short course surgery followed by chemo-radiotherapy only in those patients at high risk of local relapse. Patients in both arms the received standard %-FU based adjuvant chemotherapy as per local policy. We intend to use FFPE derived DNA from the primary tumours to identify patterns of mutations or copy number alterations that are predictive of local or distant relapse.

• RNAseq on 20 samples of multiple myeloma patients and 3 normal plasma cells.

  RNAseq was performed using 200 ng of total RNA by GATC Biotech. Directional libraries were performed after mRNA selection by polyA selection using UTP method. RNA-seq libraries were sequenced on HiSeq2500 Illumina machine using 100bp paired-end reads. Reads alignment was performed using the STAR aligner (version 2.4.0f1) and human genome hg19 as reference.

• Genomic analysis of seminomas

  This study looks at the genomic landscape of seminomas, based on exome sequencing data and SNP array data. Eight seminoma tumors and their matched normal DNAs were exome sequenced on Illumina platforms. The same samples were also processed on Affymetrix SNP 6.0 arrays.

• Comprehensive miRNA Sequence Analysis Reveals Survival Differences in Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma Patients

  Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is an aggressive disease, with 30-40% of patients failing to achieve complete responses to standard therapy. miRNAs are RNA molecules that attenuate expression of their mRNA targets. To characterize the DLBCL miRNome, we sequenced miRNAs from 92 DLBCL and 15 benign centroblast fresh frozen samples and from 140 DLBCL formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue (FFPET) samples for validation.

• Single-cell profiling maps the spectrum of crosstalk between glioma cells and tumor associated macrophages

  Tumor associated macrophages (TAMs) are a heterogeneous glioma infiltrate, implicated in cancer progression. We performed single-cell RNA-sequencing, to survey TAM response-patterns in glioma.

• RNAseq of Follicular Lymphoma

  RNAseq analysis of 28 Follicular Lymphoma (FL) criopreserved samples was performed using ribosomal-depleted total RNA to analyze long non-coding RNA and coding transcript expression profiles comparing two different histological groups of FL tumors (FL1-3A versus FL3B/DLBCL). These comparisons were performed either in a subset of tumor purified cell samples (N=12) as in unpurified tumor samples including normal cells for the lymph node microenvironment (N=16).

• The evolutionary history of human colitis-associated colorectal cancer

  Inflammatory bowel disease confers an increased lifetime risk of developing colorectal cancer (CRC), and colitis-associated CRC (CA-CRC) is molecularly distinct from sporadic CRC (S-CRC). Here we have dissected the evolutionary history of CA-CRC using multi-region sequencing. Exome sequencing was performed on fresh-frozen multiple regions of carcinoma, adjacent non-cancerous mucosa and blood from 12 CA-CRC patients (n=55 exomes), and key variants were validated with orthogonal methods. Genome-wide copy number profiling was performed using SNP arrays and low-pass whole genome sequencing on archival non-dysplastic mucosa (n=9), low-grade dysplasia (LGD, n=30), high-grade dysplasia (HGD, n=13), mixed LGD/HGD (n=7) and CA-CRC (n=19). Phylogenetic trees were reconstructed, and evolutionary analysis used to reveal the temporal sequence of events leading to CA-CRC. 10/12 tumors were microsatellite stable with a median mutation burden of 3.0 single nucleotide alterations (SNAs) per Mb, around 20% higher than S-CRC (2.5 SNAs/Mb), and consistent with elevated aging-associated mutational processes. Non-dysplastic mucosa had considerable mutation burden (median 47 SNAs), including mutations shared with the neighboring CA-CRC, indicating a pre-cancer mutational field. CA-CRCs were often near-triploid (42%) or near-tetraploid (21%) and phylogenetic analysis revealed that copy number alterations (CNAs) began to accrue in non-dysplastic bowel, but the LGD/HGD transition often involved a punctuated catastrophic CNA increase.
