Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) has recently been found to be a critical cancer gene in cases of lung cancer, neuroblastomas and lymphomas. ALK inhibitors have recently shown significant activity in lung cancer patients with tumours that harbour the EML4-ALK gene rearrangement, but already drug-resistance is emerging. We have taken a lung cancer cell line H3122 (with the EML4-ALK rearrangement) and generated clones resistant to a small molecule inhibitor of ALK by serial exposure to the drug over 8 weeks. We now wish to characterise at the exome level whether the acquisiton of resistance has been accompanied by the development of new mutations that we can take forward for further study as the potential mechansims underlying the resistance. We therefore propose to exome sequence the parental NCI-H3122 cell line as well as drug-resistant clones.
Genetic analysis of K562 cell which are resistant against HSP90 inhibitors.
mRNA-Seq, HiSeq 2000 dataset of the Cell-line use case
Whole transcriptome sequence data from 18 ovarian clear-cell carcinoma samples and one TOV21G ovarian clear-cell carcinoma cell line
In our single-center study, we have launched a pilot program for pediatric patients with undiagnosed diseases in the second-largest university hospital in the Czech Republic. WES was implemented as a first-line test after inclusion in the study as part of the diagnostic workflow.
We generated two genetically modified iPSC lines. In each line, a single promoter variant identified in a patient with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) was introduced by using the CRISPR/Cas9 system. These mutant lines were analyzed by RNA-seq together with control lines to assess the impact of the introduced variant.
In order to understand the epigenetic basis on ccRCC, we performed ChIP-seq on 3 ccRCC cell lines (786-O, A498, UMRC-2), and 1 normal kidney epithelium cell line (HK-2), cultured under normoxic (20% O2) and hypoxic (0.05% O2) conditions. This study analysed data from H3k4me1, H3K4me3, H3K27ac, H3k27me3, H3k36me3, CTCF, and HIF1A
This project aims to investigate the timing of acquistion of key driver events in CML such as the canonical BCR/ABL gene fusion and their clonal trajectories in order determine selection advantage of such clones. Colonies derived from single haematopoietic progenitors will be sequenced as clonal units. This is in line with other work in the Nangalia lab and CASM.
2014 AML analysis is conducted with samples collected from Chunnam universty. 67 paired samples are belong to this project. The study was designed to examine the molecular abnormalities from leukemic patients at initial diagnosis in comparison with corresponding germ line control (saliva samples). The results of WXS were analyzed by Mutect for ranking cancer variants and creating mutational matrix.
PDX samples of breast cancer IDC mouse models created from patient tumor material of the NKI. Genomescan prepared the samples according to the procedure for Hybridization Capture using an Agilent SureSelect custom 0.5-2.9Mb kit. The prepared libraries were sequenced with Illumina sequencing technology. The samples are in fastq format and consist of the following PDX samples: IDC025, IDC026, IDC029, IDC031, IDC032, IDC038, IDC057, IDC062, IDC065, IDC069, IDC072, IDC090B, IDC092, IDC097, IDC099, IDC107, IDC113, IDC117, IDC143, IDC152, IDC159A, IDC159B, IDC180, IDC186, IDC192, IDC197, IDC198, IDC207, IDC209, IDC216, IDC218, IDC222, IDC229, IDC232, IDC274, IDC282, IDC290, IDC299, IDC307, IDC338, IDC344, IDC346, ILC006, ILC012, ILC083 and ILC248.
