• We evaluate the potential for routine WGS using ONT by sequencing the well-characterised reference sample NA12878 and the genome of an individual with ataxia-pancytopenia syndrome accompanied by severe immune dysregulation.

  Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) is becoming widely used in clinical medicine in diagnostic contexts and to inform treatment choice. While current sequencing technologies have been extremely successful, their reliance on short read lengths necessarily involves some limitations: accurately assaying certain genomic regions and classes of variation can be problematic. Recent advances in throughput and cost have made WGS using the Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) MinION long-read single-molecule sequencer a potential solution to these challenges. Here we evaluate the potential for routine WGS using ONT by sequencing the well-characterised reference sample NA12878 and the genome of an individual with ataxia-pancytopenia syndrome accompanied by severe immune dysregulation, to 82× and 30× respectively. For NA12878, we evaluated single-nucleotide variant (SNV) calls based on data from multiple base-calling algorithms. We demonstrate that phasing metrics from a novel, reference panel-free, long-read-based method can improve variant-calling performance from otherwise modest levels, resulting in a false discovery rate of 7.1% and false negative rate of 8.5%; remaining errors are concentrated near homopolymers and in regions of reduced sequencing coverage. In the clinical sample, we are able to identify and directly phase two non-synonymous de novo variants in SAMD9L, (OMIM #159550) inferring that they both lie on a common paternal haplotype by overlap with parental genotypes at nearby common variants. This work demonstrates that methodological innovation can substantially reduce variant-calling error rates in ONT data, and that with on-going improvements in throughput, base-calling and dedicated long-read-based SNV-calling methodology, ONT offers promise as an option for clinical WGS.

• Vento_Placental_Cell_Atlas

  The Human Cell Atlas initiative is an ambitious global research effort which aims to describe every cell in the human body across all developmental stages to generate a reference map to accelerate progress in science and medicine particularly relating to human development and disease. The initiative is led by investigators based at the Wellcome Sanger Institute and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard and funding support from the Wellcome and NIH. This specific project will assess human development. We aim to interrogate the cellular composition and molecular regulators underpinning development and maturation through single cell RNA-sequencing/spatial transcriptomics and computational algorithms to predict cellular developmental trajectories and cell-cell interactions. We will subsequent validate these findings in situ using allied imaging technologies e.g. immunohistochemistry and RNAscope and in vitro culture of human intestinal organoids (HIOs).

• Functionally Active Copy Number Variants Associated with Prostate Cancer Risk

  Prostate cancer is a leading cause of cancer death in males throughout the world and has the largest estimated effect of heritability among the most common tumor types. Copy Number Variants (CNVs) are a recently recognized class of human germline polymorphisms (Iafrate AJ, et al. (2004) Nat Genet 36, 949-951; Sebat J, et al. (2004) Science 305, 525-528.) and are associated with a variety of human diseases, including cancer. This study characterized 1,903 individuals from the Tyrol Early Prostate Cancer Detection Program (Bartsch G, et al. (2008) BJU Int 101, 809-816) using a computational framework (Banerjee S, et al. (2011) PLoS One 29;6(3)). The study results establish non-coding and coding germline CNVs as significant risk factors for prostate cancer susceptibility and implicate their role in disease development and progression.

• A Single-Cell and Spatial Atlas of Early Human Olfactory Development

  The human nasal region is a complex anatomical structure comprising neural crest- and placode-derived lineages, yet its developmental dynamics in humans remain poorly understood due to limited access to fetal tissue and challenges in resolving its spatial and cellular complexity. We built a single-cell and spatial transcriptomic atlas of the human fetal nasal region from 10 fetuses spanning post-conceptional weeks 7 to 12. Using snRNA-seq, we identify 34 cell types in the fetal nasal region and reconstruct lineage trajectories in the olfactory epithelium (OE). Spatial analyses uncover regionalized OE organization, dorsoventral gradients of olfactory receptors (ORs) and high-resolution OR expression. Combining snRNAseq and MERFISH, we reveal early onset of OR gene expression, with most olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) following the one neuron-one receptor rule already during the first trimester. This work provides the first integrated molecular and spatial framework of early human nasal region and it provides an unprecedented molecular blueprint of the human olfactory system development. In addition, this study offers a foundational resource for embryologists and developmental biologists investigating sensory neurogenesis, epithelial patterning, and congenital diseases.

• Cell-Type Specific Effects of Genetic Variation on Chromatin Accessibility During Human Neuronal Differentiation

  Common genetic risk for neuropsychiatric disorders is enriched in regulatory elements active during cortical neurogenesis. However, the mechanisms mediating the effects of genetic variants on gene regulation are poorly understood. To determine the functional impact of common genetic variation on the non-coding genome longitudinally during human cortical development, we performed a chromatin accessibility quantitative trait loci (caQTL) analysis in neural progenitor cells and their differentiated neuronal progeny from 92 donors. We identified significant genetic effects on 988/1,839 neuron/progenitor regulatory elements, with highly cell-type and temporally specific effects. A subset (~30%) of caQTLs were also associated with changes in gene expression. Motif-disrupting alleles of transcriptional activators generally led to decreases in chromatin accessibility, whereas motif-disrupting alleles of repressors led to increases in chromatin accessibility. By integrating cell-type specific caQTLs and brain-relevant genome-wide association data, we were able to fine-map and identify regulatory mechanisms underlying non-coding neuropsychiatric disorder risk loci.

• The molecular landscape of glioma in patients with Neurofibromatosis 1.

  Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a common tumor predisposition syndrome in which glioma is one of the most prominent tumor type. Gliomagenesis in NF1 results in heterogeneous spectrum of tumors, from low grade to high grade glioma, occurring during the entire patient lifespan. In this study, we present the molecular landscape of low- and high-grade glioma in children and adults affected by NF1 (NF1-glioma). 59 tumor samples from 56 NF1-glioma patients with 43 matched normal were profiled with Whole Exome Sequencing, DNA Methylation array (31 tumors) and RNA sequencing (29 tumors).

• Genetic makeup of agnospheres

  Agnospheres are cultures of cancer stem cells isolated from tissue biopsies from patients with Cancer of Unknown Primary (CUPs). The latter is a lethal malignancy (median survival <1 year), representing approximately the 3% of all cancers, and characterized by metastatic dissemination in the absence of a primary tumor recognizable by a standardized protocol including thorough body imaging and histopathological analysis. Agnospheres are long-term propagated in culture and, after subcutaneous injection into immunocompromised mice, they display high tumorigenicity and quickly reproduce the clinical presentation of the original tumor, featuring a multi-organ metastatic pattern and poorly differentiated histology. The goal of the project is to analyse the mutational profile of agnospheres in detail, as to verify its correspondance with that of the original tumors. Genetic information will be exploited to investigate the genetic drivers of the CUP phenotype, in particular the hypermetastatic ability and the differentiative block.

• Disease and phenotype relevant genetic variants identified from histone acetylomes in human hearts

  Identifying genetic markers for heterogeneous complex diseases such as heart failure has been challenging, and may require prohibitively large cohort sizes in genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in order to demonstrate statistical significance1. On the other hand, chromatin quantitative trait loci (QTL), elucidated by direct epigenetic profiling of specific human tissues, may contribute towards prioritising variants for disease-association. Here, we captured non-coding genetic variants by performing enhancer H3K27ac ChIP-seq in 70 human control and end-stage failing hearts, mapping out a comprehensive catalogue of 47,321 putative human heart enhancers. 3,897 differential acetylation peaks (FDR < 0.05) pointed to recognizable pathways altered in heart failure (HF). To identify cardiac histone acetylation QTLs (haQTLs), we regressed out confounding factors including HF disease status, and employed the G-SCI test2 to call out 1,680 haQTLs (FDR < 0.1). A subset of these showed significant association to gene expression, either in cis (180), or through long range interactions (81), identified by Hi-C and Hi-ChIP performed on a subset of hearts. Furthermore, a concordant relationship was found between the gain or disruption of specific transcription factor (TF) binding motifs, inferred from alternative alleles at the haQTLs, associated with altered H3K27ac peak heights. Finally, colocalisation of our haQTLs with heart-related GWAS datasets allowed us to identify 62 unique loci. Disease-association for these new loci may indeed be mediated through modification of H3K27-acetylation enrichment and their corresponding gene expression differences.
