• Proteogenomic Characterization Unveils Biomarkers Associated With Chemoresistance in Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer

  Cisplatin-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) combined with radical cystectomy has been used as a standard of care for patients with clinically non-metastatic muscle invasive urothelial bladder cancer, but 40-50% patients will benefit from the treatment. Molecular subtypes of muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) provide a possible biomarker roadmap that may help identify patients who may or may not respond to NAC. Recently, by integrating Mass Spectrometry-based proteomics, proteogenomic studies from the Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC) have demonstrated the potential of this approach in prioritizing candidate driver genes and facilitating understanding of the chemotherapy resistance mechanisms. To demonstrate the proteogenomic workflow for investigating the mechanisms underlying chemotherapy resistance in MIBC, we conducted proteogenomic characterization of 46 pre- and 14 post- treatment tumors, including whole exome sequencing (WES), mRNA sequencing, Tandem Mass Tag (TMT)-proteomics, or TMT-phosphoproteomic. These samples were selected from an initial cohort of 143 MIBC tissues and filtered by tumor purity, clinical history, pathological response, and proteomic quality control metrics. The final cohort comprised samples from 53 patients, including 45 with both genomic and proteomic data and 8 with genomic data only.Our multi-omics-based clustering reveals subtypes associated with chemotherapy sensitivity. Protein abundance of a short isoform of ATAD1 and RAF family proteins were identified as biomarkers of chemosensitivity which highlights the importance of proteomics data. Integration of proteomic and phosphoproteomic data reveals Wnt signaling via GSK3B-S9 phosphorylation and the JAK/STAT pathway as potential targets to overcome chemoresistance. Correlations between PD-L1 and TROP-2/NECTIN-4 indicate an additive benefit of combination therapy targeting these proteins. Our data analysis clearly demonstrates that proteogenomic plays an important role in uncovering potential resistance mechanisms that operate only at protein and Post-Translational Modification (PTM) levels. Proteomics data can be accessed through PRIDE with ID PXD060290. RNA-seq and whole-exome sequencing (WES) FASTQ files are archived in the dbGaP database.

• Combination of CDK4/6 with BET-bromodomain and PI3K/mTOR inhibitors in medulloblastoma in vitro and in vivo

  Despite improvement in the treatment of medulloblastoma (MB) over the last years, numerous patients with MYC- and MYCN-driven tumors still fail the current therapeutic regimen. The retinoblastoma (RB) pathway is often compromised in MB with RB remaining intact suggesting that CDK4/6 inhibition might represent a therapeutic strategy for which drug combination remains understudied. Using tumor lines grown in stem cell conditions referred as tumorspheres as well as tumor cells freshly dissociated from the brain of mice harboring intracranial patient-derived xenografts (PDX) of Group3 (G3) and Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) MB, we conducted high throughput drug combination screens using the CDK4/6 inhibitor (CDK4/6i) ribociclib as an anchor and 87 oncology drugs approved by FDA or currently in clinical trials. Bromodomain and extra terminal (BET) and PI3K/mTOR inhibitors potentiated ribociclib’s inhibition of proliferation in G3 and SHH MB. A reverse combination screen using BET inhibitor JQ1 as the anchor, revealed the three FDA approved CDK4/6i as the most potentiating drugs. Those synergistic combinations were tested in vivo in mice intracranially implanted with G3 and SHH MB tumor cells. Ribociclib showed single agent activity in several in vivo MB models. However, despite in vitro synergy, combinations of ribociclib with JQ1 and ribociclib with the PI3K/mTOR inhibitor paxalisib failed to improve the survival of MB bearing mice compared to ribociclib alone. Our data illustrates the difficulty in translating in vitro findings to in vivo for brain tumors partly due to insufficient free brain concentration and altered signaling pathways activation in vitro compared to in vivo.

• Genome-Wide Association Study of the Taste and Hedonic Ratings of the Low-Calorie Sweetener Acesulfame Potassium

  Acesulfame potassium (Ace-K) is a low-calorie sweetener (LCS) widely used as an additive in foods and beverages and an excipient in pediatric medicines. Because genetic variants play a role in individual variation in the taste of Ace-K, we sought to identify genetic contributions to its taste using a genome-wide association study (GWAS). 141 adult panelists rated the taste of an aqueous solution of Ace-K using the general labelled magnitude scale (gLMS) and its palatability using the hedonic gLMS. Genotypes were assayed on the Infinium Global Screening Array. Imputation of genotypes was performed on the Michigan Imputation Server with 1000 Genomes Project phase 3 genotype data as reference. Linear regression was performed to test genetic associations between genotyped and imputed variants with three gLMS ratings (bitterness (square-root-transformed), hedonic, sweetness) of Ace-K using PLINK2, adjusting for standardized age, sex, and the first 10 principal components of genetic ancestry. We identified that a locus spanning several TAS2R (Taste receptor 2) genes was associated with bitterness ratings of Ace-K and a locus within the gene ELMO1 (Engulfment and Cell Motility Protein 1) was associated with hedonic ratings of Ace-K (p-values 40594245).

• Cell fate mapping of human glioblastoma reveals an invariant stem cell hierarchy pre- and post-treatment

  Human glioblastomas (GBMs) are thought to harbour a subpopulation of glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs) that initiate tumour formation and regrowth following treatment. However, the origin of their proliferative heterogeneity during tumour growth pre- and post-treatment remains poorly understood. Here we study the clonal evolution of DNA barcoded GBMs following their serial propagation in xenograft mouse models to define the fate behaviour of individual GBM cells. Through quantitative analysis of clone sizes scored across multiple passages, we show that the growth of GBM clones in vivo are consistent with a remarkably neutral process resulting from a conserved proliferative hierarchy. In this model, slow-cycling stem-like cells give rise to a more rapidly cycling progenitor population with extensive self-maintenance capacity, that in turn generates short-lived cells that lack proliferative ability. We also identify rare "outlier" clones that deviate from these dynamics, and further show that chemotherapy reproducibly facilitates the selective expansion of pre-existing drug-resistant GBM lineages. Finally, we show that coexisting, functionally distinct GSCs may be targeted separately with epigenetic compounds. These findings show that, independent of an evolving mutational signature, the clonal dynamics of human GBM can be surprisingly robust, with intratumoural heterogeneity derived primarily from the defined stochastic fate behaviour of tumour cells within a conserved proliferative hierarchy.

• Whole genome sequencing of Osteosarcoma clonal evolution

  Multiple large-scale genomic profiling efforts have been undertaken in osteosarcoma to define the genomic drivers of tumorigenesis, therapeutic response, and disease recurrence. The spatial and temporal intratumor heterogeneity could also play a role in promoting tumor growth and treatment resistance. Here, we conducted longitudinal whole-genome sequencing of 37 tumor samples from eight patients with osteosarcoma that relapsed or became refractory to initial therapy. We found that the chemoresistant population in recurrent osteosarcoma is subclonal at diagnosis, emerges at the time of primary resection due to selective pressure from neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and is characterized by unique oncogenic amplifications.

• PCPT and SELECT Cohorts: Core Infrastructure Support for Cancer Research

  SELECT study: SELECT was a phase III, double-blind, placebo-controlled 4-arm study of selenium, vitamin E, selenium and vitamin E together, and placebo designed to assess the effect of these supplements on the incidence of prostate cancer. Funded by the National Cancer Institute and conducted by SWOG, the study opened in August 2001 and quickly exceeded its accrual goal of 35,533 men.In the fall of 2008, the trial's Data Safety and Monitoring Committee recommended that participants discontinue taking study supplements due to convincing evidence (planned interim futility analysis) that neither vitamin E nor selenium supplements were associated with the prevention of prostate cancer. A subsequent analysis in 2011 showed a significant 17% increase in prostate cancer incidence in participants who were on the vitamin E only arm. Approximately 17,000 participants from the original trial recently completed an additional four years of centralized follow-up. This follow-up ended on May 31, 2014 and SELECT is now closed. PCPT study: The Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial (PCPT) was a SWOG Cancer Research Network-coordinated study designed to test whether the drug finasteride (Proscar®) would prevent prostate cancer in men ages 55 and older. This study was closed on June 24, 2003 because the study objective had been reached. The results of the study, which did find a preventive benefit for the drug, were published as "The Influence of Finasteride on the Development of Prostate Cancer," in the New England Journal of Medicine on July 17, 2003.

• Genomic Advances in Sepsis (GAinS) genotyping

  This cohort comprises a subset of patients enrolled in the Genomic Advances in Sepsis (GAinS) study, an established biobank of adult sepsis patients. Sepsis is defined as life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. Patients with sepsis due to community acquired pneumonia or faecal peritonitis were recruited from 35 hospitals across the UK from 2005-2018, with samples for functional genomics and detailed clinical information collected over the first five days of ICU admission to investigate how host genetics affects the individual repsonse to sepsis. DNA was extracted from buffy coat or whole blood samples using the Qiagen DNA extraction protocol, the automated Maxwell Blood purification kit (Promega), or the QIAamp Blood Midi kit protocol (Qiagen). Genotyping data were generated using the Illumina HumanOmniExpress BeadChip (295 patients), the Infinium CoreExome BeadChip (655 patients), and the Infinium Global Screening Array BeadChip (307 patients). Genotyping QC and imputation into the Haplotype Reference Consortium was perfomed within each batch. The datasets were combined and following post-imputation filtering data were available on 1168 samples.

• Inferring causal genes at type 2 diabetes GWAS loci through chromosome interactions in islet cells

  Resolving causal genes for type 2 diabetes at loci implicated by genome-wide association studies (GWAS) requires integrating functional genomic data from relevant cell types. Chromatin features in endocrine cells of the pancreatic islet are particularly informative and recent studies leveraging chromosome conformation capture (3C) with Hi-C based methods have elucidated regulatory mechanisms in human islets. However, these genome-wide approaches are less sensitive and afford lower resolution than methods that target specific loci. Methods: To gauge the extent to which targeted 3C further resolves chromatin-mediated regulatory mechanisms at GWAS loci, we generated interaction profiles at 23 loci using next-generation (NG) capture-C in a human beta cell model (EndoC-βH1) and contrasted these maps with Hi-C maps in EndoC-βH1 cells and human islets and a promoter capture Hi-C map in human islets. Results: We found improvements in assay sensitivity of up to 33-fold and resolved ~3.6X more chromatin interactions. At a subset of 18 loci with 25 co-localised GWAS and eQTL signals, NG Capture-C interactions implicated effector transcripts at five additional genetic signals relative to promoter capture Hi-C through physical contact with gene promoters. Conclusions: High resolution chromatin interaction profiles at selectively targeted loci can complement genome- and promoter-wide maps.

• Loss of RREB1 in pancreatic beta cells reduces cellular insulin content and affects endocrine cell gene expression

  Genome-wide studies have uncovered multiple independent signals at the RREB1 locus associated with altered type 2 diabetes (T2D) risk and related glycemic traits. However, little is known about the function of the zinc finger transcription factor RREB1 in glucose homeostasis or how changes in its expression and/or function influence diabetes risk. We studied its function using three transcriptomic strategies, profiling gene expression when RREB1 is knocked out or knocked down in the Endo-betaH1 cell line, in addition to the in vitro differentiation in hiPSCs.

• ACT-Discover: identifying karyotype heterogeneity in pancreatic cancer evolution using ctDNA

  Background Liquid biopsies, and the dynamic tracking of somatic mutations within circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) can provide insight into the dynamics of cancer evolution and the intra-tumour heterogeneity that fuels treatment resistance. However, identifying and tracking dynamic changes in somatic copy-number alterations (SCNAs), which have been associated with poor outcome and metastasis, using ctDNA is challenging. Pancreatic adenocarcinoma is a disease which has been considered to harbour early punctuated events in its evolution, leading to an early fitness peak, with minimal further subclonal evolution. Methods To interrogate the role of SCNAs in pancreatic adenocarcinoma cancer evolution, we applied whole-exome sequencing of 55 longitudinal cell-free DNA (cfDNA) samples taken from 24 patients (including 8 from whom a patient-derived xenograft (PDX) was derived) with metastatic disease prospectively recruited into a clinical trial. We developed a method, Aneuploidy in Circulating Tumour DNA (ACT-Discover), that leverages haplotype phasing of paired tumour biopsies or PDXs to identify SCNAs in cfDNA with greater sensitivity. Results SCNAs were observed within 28 of 47 evaluable cfDNA samples. Of these events, 30% could only be identified by harnessing the haplotype-aware approach leveraged in ACT-Discover. The exceptional purity of PDX tumours enabled near-complete phasing of genomic regions in allelic imbalance, highlighting an important auxiliary function of PDXs. Finally, although the classical model of pancreatic cancer evolution emphasises the importance of early, homogenous somatic events as a key requirement for cancer development, ACT-Discover identified substantial heterogeneity of SCNAs, including parallel focal and arm-level events, affecting different parental alleles within individual tumours. Indeed, ongoing acquisition of SCNAs was identified within tumours throughout the disease course, including within an untreated metastatic tumour. Conclusions This work demonstrates the power of haplotype phasing to study genomic variation in cfDNA samples and reveals undiscovered intra-tumour heterogeneity with important scientific and clinical implications. Implementation of ACT-Discover could lead to important insights from existing cohorts, or underpin future prospective studies seeking to characterise the landscape of tumour evolution through liquid biopsy.

• Whole Tumor spatial heterogeneity in metastatic melanoma

  Heterogeneous inter-tumoral responses, sustained periods of apparent clinical benefit despite lack of objective response to various therapies, and even spontaneous remission are well known within a subpopulation of advanced melanoma patients. The molecular and cellular dynamics facilitating long-term survival remain poorly defined, particularly in the current era ofexposure to multiple potentially active therapies. We studied an exceptional case of long-term survival in a patient with non-responding metastatic melanoma in order to characterize the clonal and microenvironmental factors.We performed immunogenomic analysis of 3 metachronous tumors, and of 67 intratumor sub-regions of one metastatic lesion, usingwhole exome sequencing, RNA-sequencing, immunohistochemistry, and T cell receptor sequencing. Longitudinal analysesidentified mutations in severalknownresistance genes affecting distinctmetastases. Intra-tumoral immune signatures revealed spatially-distinct pockets of immune activation and suppression throughout the metastasis. A specific T cell VBeta CDR3 rearrangement was identified as both dominant and recurrent not only across multiple spatial points within a single tumor mass, but also across metachronous tumors spanning the patient’s disease course. Immunophenotyping of this T cell population with single-cell sequencingsuggestedrepeatedT-cell priming events leading to the persistence of both activated and exhausted T cells bearing this same TCR-Beta at any given time.Our findings highlight genomic and immune heterogeneityin metastatic disease, extending to the intra-tumoral leveland provide a rationale for integrative spatiotemporal analysis of metastatic lesions in the context of immune checkpoint blockade.

• Comparison of transcriptional response of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell-derived and monocyte-derived macrophages to bacterial lipopolysaccharide stimulation

  In the first part of this project, we will differentiate IPS cells from 5 human donors into macrophages, and extract RNA from unstimulated and LPS stimulated macrophages to perform RNA sequencing. We will also extract RNA before and after stimulation in blood- derived macrophages from 5 additional, unrelated healthy samples. In the second part of the project, RNA-seq data will be analysed to compare LPS response of these two macrophage populations. In summary, we will perform 75bp PE RNA-seq on 20 samples (10 pre and post stimulus), on the HiSeq 2500 platform. Samples will be multiplexed at 5 samples / lane, so we will require 4 flow cells in total.This data is part of a pre-publication release.

  To investigate the gene programs involved in B cell activation and antibody switching, we profiled the gene expression at the single cell level as well as the antibody repertoire of human naive and memory B cells at resting and following three time points of activation. Through CRISPR perturbations, we defined IRF4 as a central regulator of both GC and plasma cell fates, acting independently of PRDM1 in GC commitment. Finally, leveraging machine learning classification methods trained solely on transcriptomic profiles, we accurately predicted sister cell relationships, revealing that plasma cell gene expression programs are heritable and tightly conserved within a clone.

• Combinatorial Indexed 10x Genomics Single-Cell ATAC-seq on Human Cerebral Cortex

  Single-cell chromatin accessibility profiling (scATAC) using droplet fluidics (10x Genomics) is inherently limited in throughput due to the number of available indexed droplets. This study leverages single-cell combinatorial indexing workflows with modified adapter designs to enable indexed tagmentation and superloading of pre-indexed nuclei into the 10x Genomics scATAC workflow, enabling a substantial increase in the number of cell profiles that can be obtained per channel. This workflow, 10x single-cell combinatorial indexed ATAC-seq (txsciATAC), is demonstrated on human brain tissue (middle frontal gyrus), along with mouse brain tissue to enable doublet and crosstalk assessment. This study includes all human data and includes a single preparation taken through nuclei isolation and indexed tagmentation using 96 indexes then split to produce two datasets, one targeting 20k cells and one targeting 70k, each using a single channel of the 10x Chromium controller.

• Tissue-specificity and co-expression analyses identify human long non-coding RNAs related to inherited retinal disease genes

  The role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in biological and pathological processes is still poorly understood. In this study, we aimed to identify lncRNAs that potentially contribute to retinal biology and Inherited Retinal Disease (IRD) by using two complementary strategies, tissue-specificity and location in topologically associating domains (TADs) containing IRD genes on one hand, and co-expression analyses on the other, applied to human retinal omics datasets. This combined approach resulted in the selection of 11 Retina Enriched IRD-gene Related (REIR) lncRNAs, one of which is novel. In-depth in silico and experimental characterization of REIRs identified novel REIR isoforms and confirmed retina-predominant (often photoreceptor-specific) expression as well as predicted functional association with visual function. Long-read direct cDNA sequencing (ONT) of three post-mortem human retina samples was used to delineate the novel REIR isoforms.

• The chromatin accessibility signature of human immune aging stems from CD8+ T cells

  Aging is linked to deficiencies in immune responses and increased systemic inflammation. To unravel the regulatory programsbehind these changes, we applied systems immunology approaches and profiled chromatin accessibility and the transcriptomein PBMCs, purified monocytes, and B and T cells. Analysis of samples from 77 young and elderly donors revealed a novel androbust aging signature in PBMCs, with simultaneous systematic chromatin closing at promoters and enhancers associated withT cell signaling and a potentially stochastic chromatin opening mostly found at quiescent and repressed sites. Combined analysesof chromatin accessibility and the transcriptome uncovered immune molecules activated/inactivated with aging andidentified the silencing of the IL7R gene and the IL-7 signaling pathway genes as potential biomarkers. This signature is borneby memory CD8+ T cells, which exhibited an aging-related loss in binding of NF-κB and STAT factors. Thus, our study providesa unique and comprehensive approach to identifying candidate biomarkers and provides mechanistic insights into aging-associatedimmunodeficiency.

• A Single Cell Transcriptomic Analysis of Human Neocortical Development

  Defining the number, proportion, or lineage of distinct cell types in the developing human brain is an important goal of modern brain research. We produced single cell transcriptomic profiles for 40,000 cells at mid-gestation to define deep expression profiles corresponding to all known major cell types at this developmental period and compare this with bulk tissue profiles. We identified multiple transcription factors (TFs) and co-factors expressed in specific cell types, including multiple new cell-type-specific relationships, providing an unprecedented resource for understanding human neocortical development and evolution. This includes the first single-cell characterization of human subplate neurons and subtypes of developing glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons. We also used these data to deconvolute single cell regulatory networks that connect regulatory elements and transcriptional drivers to single cell gene expression programs in the developing CNS. We characterized major developmental trajectories that tie cell cycle progression with early cell fate decisions during early neurogenesis. Remarkably, we found that differentiation occurs on a transcriptomic continuum, so that differentiating cells not only express the few key TFs that drive cell fates, but express broad, mixed cell-type transcriptomes prior to telophase. Finally, we mapped neuropsychiatric disease genes to specific cell types, implicating dysregulation of specific cell types in ASD, ID, and epilepsy, as the mechanistic underpinnings of several neurodevelopmental disorders. Together these results provide an extensive catalog of cell types in human neocortex and extend our understanding of early cortical development, human brain evolution and the cellular basis of neuropsychiatric disease.

• SLCO1B1 Variants and Methotrexate Clearance

  Methotrexate plasma concentration is related to its clinical effects. To identify the genetic basis of interindividual variability in methotrexate pharmacokinetics in children with newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), we performed a genome-wide analysis (GWAS) of 500,568 germline single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 434 children with ALL who received 3,014 courses of methotrexate at 2 to 5 g/m2. SNPs were validated in an independent cohort of 206 patients. Adjusting for age, race, sex, and methotrexate regimen, the most significant associations were with SNPs in the organic anion transporter polypeptide, SLCO1B1 (rs11045879 (P = 1.7 x 10-10) and rs4149081 (P = 1.7 x 10-9) (Trevino et al, PMID: 19901119). To test whether rare variants in SLCO1B1 could alter its function, we genotyped SLCO1B1 exons in a slightly larger group of 699 children with ALL who received methotrexate and identified 93 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). We found several common and rare non-synonymous (NS) SNPs associated with methotrexate clearance. NS SNPs predicted to be functionally damaging (common or rare) were more likely to be found among patients with the lowest adjusted methotrexate clearance (lowest 10%) than patients with high clearance (highest 10%). Four SLCO1B1 haplotypes were associated with reduced methotrexate clearance and we verified that these haplotypes have lower function with in vitro transport assays. We were able to quantitatively account for a third of the population variability in clearance of methotrexate with clinical and genetic covariates. This data set includes the dependent variable of methotrexate clearance and all of the SNP data available from arrays, sequencing, and genotyping.

• Integrative Single-Cell Analysis of Transcriptome, Epigenome, and Lineage in HIV Latency and Activation

  With the development of triple combination antiretroviral therapy, routine HIV treatment eliminates nearly all actively infected cells. Nevertheless, the small reservoir of latently infected cells, which can remain dormant for long periods of time before becoming active and producing new virus particles, represents a crucial barrier to completely curing the disease. Identifying markers that identify latently infected cells or the biochemical factors that control latency activation could enable the effective use of a “shock and kill” strategy, where specific targeting or activation of latently infected cells eliminates the viral reservoir. Our recent work suggests that the global transcriptomic and epigenomic changes during hematopoietic differentiation affect viral latency and activation. Additionally, we recently found that global inhibition of histone deacetylase activity increases viral activation in these cells, further implicating epigenomic changes during activation. These results raise fundamental questions: What are the markers of latently infected cells? How do the transcriptomic and epigenomic states of a cell affect latency and activation? How does the differentiation state relate to viral latency? Here, we leverage our experimental platform for identifying latently and actively infected cells, single-cell transcriptome and epigenome sequencing, and our recently developed computational integration methods to investigate these questions. Our interdisciplinary team combines expertise in HIV basic science, HIV clinical treatment, and bioinformatics to develop an experimental and computational framework for integrated gene expression, chromatin accessibility, and lineage into a single picture of viral latency and activation. Specifically, this project will (1) use single-cell RNA-seq and single-cell ATAC-seq to map the diversity of infected cells, (2) investigate the relationship between hematopoietic differentiation state and viral activation, (3) determine viral integration sites through single-cell RNA-seq, (4) computationally integrate single-cell transcriptome and epigenome profiles, and (5) computationally infer cell lineage relationships among viral genomes and infected cells. To accomplish these goals, we will carry out the following aims: (1) Characterize lineage, transcriptomic and epigenomic diversity of single latently and actively infected primary cells. (2) Investigate latency and activation during in vitro differentiation. (3) Survey single cell diversity of re-activated and in vitro infected cells from cART-suppressed patients. Together, these aims will produce a comprehensive, integrated transcriptomic and epigenomic atlas of the HIV reservoir, identify DNA and RNA biomarkers of latency, and characterize clonal expansion patterns. Our work also develops a broadly applicable experimental and computational framework, laying a foundation for the discovery of novel insights into HIV latency and activation.

• Molecular Analysis of Alliance A031201 Study

  This is the first study examining the relationship between clonal hematopoiesis and clinical outcomes in prostate cancer patients. We used a targeted gene sequencing panel to identify patients in the A031201 clinical trial with and without clonal hematopoiesis. We found that clonal hematopoiesis did not affect overall or progression free survival in A031201 but was associated more adverse cardiac events.

• Melanoma and Cancer-Associated Fibroblast Short-Term Cultures Derived from Patient Metastases

  The purpose of this study was to obtain tissue specimens derived from patients with melanoma to generate research tools to advance our understanding of the genetics, pathogenesis, and therapeutics of melanoma. Briefly, tissue was obtained from metastatic lesions and used to generate clonal primary cell lines from melanoma cells and fibroblasts from the tumor microenvironment. RNA was extracted from low passage cell lines using Trizol reagent. cDNA libraries were prepared using the TruSeq mRNA sample preparation kit, v2 (Illumina) and sequenced on the HiSeq 2000 platform (Illumina). The submitted files are bam files that contain both unaligned and aligned reads (human genome, build hg19).

• Assessment of genetic and epigenetic variation in human IPS cells

  In order to progress human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) towards the clinic, several outstanding questions must be addressed. It is possible to reprogram different somatic cell types into hiPSCs but it is unlcear whether some cell types carry through fewer mutations through reprogramming (either due to mutations present in the primary cells, or mutations accumulated during reprogramming). Through in depth analysis of hiPSCs generated from different somatic cells, it will be possible to assess the variation in genetic stability of different cell types.
