• Clinical relevance of TCGA subtypes for gastric cancer patients

  There is a clinical need for the availability of molecular biomarkers in the tratment of gastric cancer (GC), since survival rates remain poor with a 5-year survival rate of only ~`40% for patients with resectable disease. These markers will elad to a more tailored approach in the treatment of GC, which enhances efficacy and reduces toxicity. Recently, The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) classified GC patients into four molecular subgroups: Epstein Barr Virus positive (EBV+), genomically stable (GS), microsatellite instable (MSI), and chromosomal instable (CIN). For this purpose we aim to collect tumor tissue blocks from patients who participated in the Dutch D1/D2 or the CRITICS trial and who gave informed consent for translational studies. Associations between TCGA subtypes and outcomes to these different therapeutic options will be analyzed.

• PE-CGS: Optimizing Engagement of Hispanic Colorectal Cancer Patients in Cancer Genomic Characterization Studies

  Colorectal Cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer death in the US. Hispanic/Latinos (H/L) are the largest and fasting growing ethnic group in the US, and cancer is the leading cause of death among H/L in the US. Therefore, we need to fully understand the full complexity of the molecular etiology of cancer in this ethnic group. For instance, although incidence rates of CRC are lower among Latinos as compared to Whites or African Americans, Hispanics with metastatic disease have shorter overall survival when adjusted for health care setting, demographics, disease characteristics and treatment factors. H/L also tend to be diagnosed at a younger age and with higher stage, and we have previously reported that Mexican H/L in California have the greatest proportion of young (The Cancer Genome Atlas has provided a deep overview of the molecular taxonomy of CRC in 594 cases, however, less than 1% of the cases (n=5) were H/L. Therefore, it is imperative for us to take more detailed assessment of the molecular genomic landscape of CRC in H/L. One of the major issues likely limiting our ability to perform these large genomic initiatives in minority patients is that Patient or Participant Engagement practices may not be investigated to identify best practices for accruing and consenting patients into clinical translational biomedical research studies. This concept of Participant Engagement is critically important for both the patients and the translational cancer research community. Optimizing and improving our approaches for directly engaging patients at initial contact, throughout the course of a translational genomic study, and during the time of return of results is likely to lead to stronger relationships between the medical community and patients, but could also lead to significant improvement in outcomes for patients and for the cancer care community as a whole. As such, we propose the creation of the USC Center for Optimization of Participant Engagement in Cancer Characterization (COPECC) with a focus on optimizing the engagement of Latinos in CRC Genomic Characterization research studies. USC COPECC would serve as a member of the NCI U2C Participant Engagement and Cancer Genome Sequencing (PE-CGS) Network. Our investigative team includes experts in all relevant areas of research for genomic characterization, participant engagement, and engagement optimization. We have an established platform for consenting patients into cancer genomics studies that will serve as a standard process. The overall goal of USC COPECC is to generate results on participant engagement optimization and CRC genomic research that will be shared with the broader community to distribute best practices for engaging Latinos in hopes of improving overall outcomes for CRC in this underserved population.

• The Research Institute at Nationwide Children's Hospital Genetics of Congenital Heart Disease (CHD)

  Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common type of birth defect, but the cause for the majority of cardiac birth defects remains unknown. Numerous epidemiologic studies have demonstrated evidence that genetic factors likely play a contributory, if not causative, role in CHD. A few genes have been identified by us and other investigators using traditional genetic approaches, but these genes only account for a small portion of the non-syndromic CHDs. Therefore, we are now utilizing whole exome sequencing (WES) and whole genome sequencing (WGS), with the addition of more traditional genetic techniques such as chromosomal microarray or traditional linkage analysis, to identify genetic causes of familial and isolated CHD. With WES/WGS, we are able to sequence all of the genes of an individual and apply different data analysis techniques based on whether we are analyzing a multiplex family or a cohort of trios (mother, father and child with CHD) with a specific isolated CHD. Therefore, WES/WGS is a robust method for identification of novel genetic causes of CHD, which will have important diagnostic and therapeutic consequences for these children. Subjects provided blood samples, skin biopsy, or saliva samples for DNA extraction and creation of cell lines. Tissue remaining after surgical procedures was also collected. Medical records were searched for detailed phenotype data and subjects were followed longitudinally for outcome.

• Brain Cell Type-Specific Enhancer-Promoter Connectivity Maps and Disease Risk Association

  These studies map the epigenetic landscape of microglia, neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes. The initial study compared acutely isolated microglia to cultured microglia from the same donors, to identify changes that occur when microglia are removed from the brain microenvironment. In collaboration with the Rady Children's Hospital, we obtained brain tissue samples from pediatric patients representing putative normal tissue resected to gain access to brain tumors as well as tissue resected to remove epileptic foci. We assayed microglia isolated from these samples using RNA-seq, ATAC-seq and ChIP-seq for PU.1, H3K4me2, and H3K27ac. For patients from whom a sufficient cell number was obtained, we additionally cultured their microglia for up to 7 days and subjected these to the same suite of assays. In a follow-up study, we obtained brain tissue from a comparable cohort of pediatric epilepsy patients from Rady Children's Hospital. We isolated nuclei from microglia, neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes, and assayed for ATAC-seq, ChIP-seq for H3K4me3, and H3K27ac, and PLAC-seq (Proximity Ligated ChIP-seq). We isolated microglia from human fetal and postnatal sample and assayed for bulk RNA-seq, bulk ATAC-seq, bulk H3K27ac ChIP-seq, single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) and single-cell ATAC-seq. For these studies, human microglia are defined by signature genes/proteins, such as P2RY12, SALL1, and CX3CR1.

• Detection of mutational patterns in cell free DNA (cfDNA) of colorectal cancer by custom amplicon sequencing

  Monitoring the mutational patterns of solid tumors during cancer therapy is a major challenge in oncology. Analysis of mutations in cell free (cf) DNA offers a non-invasive approach to detect mutations that may be prognostic for disease survival or predictive for primary or secondary drug resistance. A main challenge for the application of cfDNA as a diagnostic tool is the diverse mutational landscape of cancer. Here, we developed a flexible end-to-end experimental and bioinformatics workflow to analyze mutations in cfDNA using custom amplicon sequencing. Our approach relies on open software tools to select primers suitable for multiplex PCR using minimal cfDNA as input. In addition, we developed a robust linear model to identify specific genetic alterations from sequencing data of cfDNA. We used our method to design a custom amplicon panel suitable for detection of hotspot mutations relevant for colorectal cancer and analyzed mutations in serial cfDNA samples from 34 patients with advanced colorectal cancer. Our data demonstrates that recurrent and patient-specific mutational patterns can be reliably detected for the majority of patients. Furthermore, we show that the allele frequency of mutations in cfDNA correlates well with disease progression. Finally, we demonstrate that monitoring of cfDNA can outperform the predictive power of currently used tumor markers and reveal mechanisms of resistance to anti-EGFR antibody treatment.

• RRBS data (cfSort study) from noncancer tissue DNA

  The RRBS libraries of the genomic DNA from the 521 tissue samples were constructed following the standard RRBS protocol. 100-200 ng of intact genomic DNA in the volume of 21.5 µl was used as input material. Restriction digestion was done with 2.5 µl 10xCutSmart buffer and 1 µl MspI (NEB) for 18 h at 37 oC and 20 min at 65 oC. 0.5 µl 10xCutSmart buffer, 0.3 µl dACGTP mixture (100 mM dATP, 10 mM dCTP, 10 mM dGTP), 1 µl Klenow (exo-, 5U/µl, NEB) and 2.6 µl RT-PCR water, 0.6 µl 50 mM DTT (ThermoFisher) was added to the mixture for end repair and A-overhang addition with the program 30 oC for 20 min, 37 oC for 1 h and 75 oC for 20 min. Adapter ligation was then performed with 1 µl 10xThermoFisher HC T4 ligase buffer, 0.4 µl 100 mM ATP (ThermoFisher), 0.2 µl 50 mM DTT, 1 µl ThermoFisher HC T4 DNA ligase (30 Weiss Unit/µl), 30 ng home-made duplex UMI adapter with all the cytosines methylated (protocol adopted from Kennedy et al.) at 16 oC for 20 h and 65 oC for 20 min. Bisulfite conversion of the adapter-ligated product was carried out with QIAGEN EpiTect plus DNA bisulfite kit following their protocol for two rounds of conversion. The converted product was purified with Qiagen MinElute spin column and eluted with 20 µl RT-PCR water. PCR amplification was done using the NEBNext Multiplex Oligos for Illumina (2.5 µl of universal and index primer each) and 25 µl KAPA HiFi HotStart Uracil+ ReadyMix (Roche) with the following cycling conditions: 98 oC for 45 s, 9 cycles of 98 oC for 15 s, 60 oC for 30 s and 72 oC for 30 s, followed by a final extension at 72 oC for 5 min. The PCR product was purified with 1x AmpureXP beads and eluted with 30 µl EB buffer. DNA concentration was measured by Qubit 1xdsDNA HS assay. 5% TBE-UREA PAGE and bioanalyzer assay was performed as quality control on each library before sequencing.

• Parkinson's Disease Cognitive Genetics Consortium (PDCGC) Stage I, NeuroX Dataset

  Cognitive impairment is a common and disabling problem in Parkinson's disease (PD). Identification of genetic variants that influence the presence or severity of cognitive deficits in PD might provide a clearer understanding of the pathophysiology underlying this important nonmotor feature. We are presently undertaking a large-scale, two-stage study designed to identify genetic risk factors for cognitive impairment in PD. The study population is divided into a discovery (Stage I) and a validation (Stage II) sample of patients enrolled in the PD Cognitive Genetics Consortium (PDCGC). Each patient has undergone a detailed neurological evaluation and cognitive testing. Clinical and genetic data for the project are stored and managed at the Coordinating Center at the University of Washington and VA Puget Sound Health Care System in Seattle. Stage I of the project is now complete; 1,219 PD patients were genotyped for 249,336 variants using the NeuroX array. Participants underwent assessments of learning and memory (Hopkins Verbal Learning Test-Revised [HVLT-R]), working memory/executive function (Letter-Number Sequencing and Trail Making Test [TMT] A and B), language processing (semantic and phonemic verbal fluency), visuospatial abilities (Benton Judgment of Line Orientation [JoLO]), and global cognitive function (Montreal Cognitive Assessment). We excluded individuals who were of non-European ancestry, failed genotyping, were missing data for one or more covariates, were related to another participant in the cohort, or failed to complete at least half of the cognitive tests. After these quality control measures were implemented, 1,105 participants remained and were included in all subsequent analyses. For common variants we used linear regression to test for association between genotype and cognitive performance with adjustment for important covariates. Rare variants were analyzed using the optimal unified sequence kernel association test. The significance threshold was defined as a false discovery rate corrected P-value (PFDR) of 0.05. Eighteen common variants in 13 genomic regions exceeded the significance threshold for one of the cognitive tests. These included GBA rs2230288 (E326K; PFDR = 2.7 x 10-4) for JoLO, PARP4 rs9318600 (PFDR = 0.006) and rs9581094 (PFDR = 0.006) for HVLT-R total recall, and MTCL1 rs34877994 (PFDR = 0.01) for TMT B-A. Analysis of rare variants did not yield any significant gene regions. We have conducted the first large-scale PD cognitive genetics analysis and nominated several new putative susceptibility genes for cognitive impairment in PD. These results will require replication in independent PD cohorts, and efforts to validate the findings in PDCGC Stage II are in progress.

• RNA-seq of longitudinal human blood and nose swab samples from a controlled human infection experiment with SARS-CoV-2 virus

  Controlled human infection experiments enable longitudinal profiling of immune responses to a pathogen. 36 healthy volunteers aged 18-29 years, with no evidence of previous infection or vaccination, were inoculated with SARS-CoV-2 virus and quarantined for 14 days. Blood samples (n=374) for RNA sequencing were collected into PAXgene tubes before virus challenge, 6 hours after challenge, daily thereafter for 14 days and on day 28. Mid-turbinate nose swabs (n=96) for RNA sequencing were collected before virus challenge, and on days 1, 3, 5, 7, 10 and 14 after challenge, preserved in RNAprotect. 18 of 36 participants developed a replicative SARS-CoV-2 infection as evidenced by consecutive PCR-positive swabs for the virus. For every participant, blood RNA from selected days were extracted and depleted for genomic DNA and globin mRNA, before cDNA libraries were constructed using KAPA RNA HyperPrep with RiboErase kits. Libraries were sequenced on the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 platform using NovaSeq 6000 S4 Reagent Kits (200 cycles). Nose swab RNA samples were extracted and depleted for genomic DNA before cDNA libraries were constructed using KAPA mRNA HyperPrep Kits. Libraries were sequenced on the Illumina NextSeq platform the using the NextSeq 500/550 High Output Kit (75 cycles).

• Deep amplicon sequencing to infer malignant clonal populations for The interface of malignant and immunologic clonal dynamics in high-grade serous ovarian cancer

  A total of 192 positions per patient were deeply sequenced in each corresponding tumor sample (including 4 experimental controls and SNVs predicted to originate at each node of the sample phylogeny, see Zhang et al. for details). Genomic DNA templates were used as starting material to generate PCR products. PCR was set up using Phusion DNA polymerase according to the manufacturer’s specifications. The standard PCR conditions used were an initial denaturation at 98C for 30 seconds, followed by 35 cycles of 98C for 10 seconds, 60C for 15 seconds and 72C for 8 seconds, and a final extension at 72C for 10 minutes. PCR products were cleaned up using PCRClean DX beads. Amplicons were pooled by template for sequencing sample preparation. Sample preparation involved a second round of amplification using Phusion DNA polymerase with 6 PCR cycles, with primers specified in Zhang et al. DNA quality was assessed using the Caliper LabChip GX HighSensitivity Assay and DNA quantity was measured using a Qubit dsDNA HS assay kit on a Qubit fluorometer. The indexed libraries were pooled together and sequenced on the Illumina NextSeq500 platform with paired-end 150bp reads using v2 chemistry reagents.

• Dataset developed for use with EOSC4Cancer of synthetic colorectal cancer tumor/normal pairs.

  This dataset contains 10 tumor and normal pairs synthetic WGS data of colorectal cancer that were simulated in a standard format of Illumina paired-end reads. The NEAT read simulator (version 3.0, https://github.com/zstephens/neat-genreads) was utilized to synthetize these 10 pairs of tumor and normal WGS data. In the procedure of data generation, simulated parameters (i.e., sequencing error statistics, read fragment length distribution and GC% coverage bias) were learned from data models provided by NEAT. The average sequencing depth for tumor and normal samples aimed to reach around 110X and 60X, respectively. For generation of synthetic normal WGS data per each sample, a germline variant profile from a real patient was down-sampled randomly, representing 50% germline variants of a given patient. These were mixed with the other 50% in silico germline variants that were modelled randomly using an average mutation rate (0.001), finally constituting a full germline profile for normal synthetic WGS data. For generation of synthetic tumor WGS data per each sample, a pre-defined somatic short variant profile (SNVs+Indels) learnt from a real CRC patient was added to the germline variant profile used for creating the normal synthetic WGS data of the same patient, consisting of the variants for tumor sample. Neither copy number profile nor structural variation profile was introduced into the tumor synthetic WGS data. Tumor content and ploidy were assumed to be 100% and 2, respectively. For mapping/variant detection, the Sarek pipeline v3.1.2 (https://nf-co.re/sarek/3.1.2) was used, specifically: 1. BWA v0.7.17-r1188 for read mapping 2. GATK v4.3.0.0 for pre-processing BAM file (including markduplicates and recalibration). 2. Mutect2 (GATK v4.3.0.0) for somatic variant calling 3.

• Human Blastocyst 10X Single Cell RNA Sequencing

  Recent advances in human blastoids have opened new avenues for modeling early human development and implantation. One limitation of our first protocol for human blastoid generation was relatively low efficiency. We now report an optimized protocol for the efficient generation of large quantities of high-fidelity human blastoids from naive pluripotent stem cells. This enabled proteomics analysis that identified phosphosite-specific signatures potentially involved in the derivation and/or maintenance of the signaling states in human blastoids. Additionally, we uncovered endometrial stromal effects in promoting trophoblast cell survival, proliferation, and syncytialization during co-culture with blastoids and blastocysts. Side-by-side single-cell RNA sequencing revealed similarities and differences in transcriptome profiles between pre-implantation blastoids and blastocysts, as well as post-implantation cultures, and uncovered a population resembling early migratory trophoblasts during co-culture with endometrial stromal cells. Our optimized protocol will facilitate broader use of human blastoids as an accessible, perturbable, scalable, and tractable model for human blastocysts. In addition, this study is the first to use the 10X Genomics platform for human blastocysts, and we anticipate this resource will be widely used by the community as a reference for future studies.

• noninvasive lung cancer subtyping

  Accurate diagnosis of lung cancer is important for treatment decision-making. Currently, the gold standard for diagnosing histological subtypes of lung cancer relies on tumor biopsies. Recently, liquid biopsy, particularly cell-free DNA (cfDNA), has shown promising results in cancer detection and classification. In this study, we investigated the potential of cfDNA methylome for the noninvasive classification of lung cancer histological subtypes. Specifically, we focused on the two most prevalent lung cancer subtypes, lung adenocarcinoma and lung squamous cell carcinoma. Using a fragment-based marker discovery approach, we identified robust subtype-specific methylation markers from tumor samples. These markers were successfully validated in independent cohorts and associated with subtype-specific transcription activity. Leveraging these markers, we constructed a subtype classification model using cfDNA methylation profiles, achieving an AUC of 0.808 in the cross-validation and an AUC of 0.747 in the independent validation. Additionally, tumor copy number variations inferred from cfDNA methylome analysis revealed potential implications for treatment selection. In summary, our study demonstrates the potential of cfDNA methylome analysis for noninvasively lung cancer subtyping, offering insights for cancer monitoring and early detection.
