• Discovery of a highly widespread bacteriophage family and its associations to metabolic syndrome gut microbiomes

  There is significant interest in altering the course of cardiometabolic disease development via the gut microbiome. Nevertheless, the highly abundant phage members of the complex gut ecosystem -which impact gut bacteria- remain understudied. Here, we characterized gut virome changes associated with metabolic syndrome (MetS), a highly prevalent clinical condition preceding cardiometabolic disease, in 196 participants with a combination of whole genome shotgun and virus like particle sequencing. MetS gut virome populations exhibited decreased richness and diversity, but larger inter-individual variation. These populations were enriched in phages infecting Bacteroidaceae and depleted in those infecting Ruminococcaeae. Differential abundance analysis identified eighteen viral clusters (VCs) as significantly associated with either MetS or healthy viromes. Among these are a MetS-associated Roseburia VC that is related to healthy control-associated Faecalibacterium and Oscillibacter VCs. Further analysis of these VCs revealed the Candidatus Heliusviridae, a highly widespread gut phage lineage found in 90+% of the participants. The identification of the temperate Ca. Heliusviridae provides a novel starting point to a better understanding of the effect that phages have on their bacterial hosts and the role that this plays in MetS

• Luminal breast epithelial cells from wildtype and BRCA mutation carriers harbor copy number alterations commonly associated with breast cancer

  Cancer-associated mutations have been documented in normal tissues, but the prevalence and nature of somatic copy number alterations and their role in tumor initiation and evolution is not well understood. Here, using single cell DNA sequencing, we describe the landscape of CNA variants in >48,000 breast epithelial cells from women with normal or high risk of developing breast cancer. Individual cells with one or two of a specific subset of CNAs (e.g. 1q gain and 16q, 22q, 7q, and 10q loss) are detectable in almost all breast tissues and, in those from BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations carriers, occurs prior to loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of the wildtype alleles. These CNAs, which are among the most common associated with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and malignant breast tumors, are enriched almost exclusively in luminal cells and are generally absent from basal myoepithelial cells. Allele-specific analysis of the enriched CNAs reveals that each allele was independently altered, demonstrating convergent evolution of these CNAs in an individual breast. Tissues from BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation carriers contained a small percentage of cells with extreme aneuploidy, featuring loss of TP53, LOH of BRCA1 or BRCA2, and multiple breast cancer-associated CNAs in addition to one or more of the common CNAs in 1q, 10q or 16q. Notably, cells with intermediate levels of CNAs were not detected, arguing against a stepwise gradual accumulation of CNAs. Overall, our findings demonstrate that chromosomal alterations in normal breast epithelium including from high risk women, link early stage CNAs to clonally expanded tumor genomes .

• Post_Mortem_Tissue_COVID19_RNA

  Single cell analysis of post mortem tissue samples from SARS-CoV2-infected patients We aim to directly identify the human cell types infected by SARS-CoV-2 and measure the cellular response to COVID19 infection across 20 different tissues from infected patient autopsies. We have examined the expression pattern of viral entry receptors across healthy human tissues to predict several candidate target cell types across the airway and heart. In addition, high prevalence of cardiac failure and abnormal renal function in COVID19 patients implicates heart and kidney involvement, but the pathogenesis of organ specific damage - whether via a direct cytopathic mechanism or an indirect inflammatory response - remains unknown . Currently, we lack confirmation of target cell types and cellular processes in infected tissues as autopsies are discouraged in most countries due to health and safety risks. Our collaborators Drs Michael Osborn and Brian Hanley (Imperial College) have outlined guidelines to perform post-mortem in COVID19 patients (Hanley et al., 2020) and have established a programme of autopsies for research to be performed in a high-risk facility at Westminster Public Mortuary. Here, we propose to identify infected cell types and aberrant molecular pathologies in this precious tissue resource using single cell and spatial genomics. We will prioritise three organ systems: the human airway, heart and the kidney. We will directly examine the cellular identities of SARS-CoV-2 infected cell types and identify the cellular responses to infection across these organs. This fundamental knowledge will help guide future treatment choices for COVID19. This data is part of a pre-publication release.

• Pooled Genome-Wide Analysis of Kidney Cancer Risk (KIDRISK)

  Incidence rates of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) are rising and the latest estimates show that it accounts for over 300,000 cases and 120,000 deaths worldwide each year. Mechanisms underlying RCC occurrence are not fully understood and a large part of the disease heritability remains unexplained. The study aimed at augmenting the size of available RCC genome-wide association studies to increase the statistical power to detect genetic variants associated with the disease. The study includes genome-wide genotyping data from RCC cases (n=2,781) and controls (n=2,526) recruited in Western Europe, Central and Eastern Europe, and Australia.

• NHLBI TOPMed: Severe Asthma Research Program (SARP)

  The overall goal of the Severe Asthma Research Program (SARP) is to identify and characterize subjects with severe asthma to understand pathophysiologic mechanisms in severe asthma. Subjects with mild and moderate asthma were recruited for comparison but the program was enriched for subjects with severe asthma from multiple centers. Subjects were comprehensively phenotyped for asthma related traits including lung function, atopy, questionnaires on medical and family history, exhaled nitric oxide and health care utilization including exacerbations and symptoms. Asthma is a heterogenous disease. Cluster analysis in SARP has shown multiple subphenotypes and endotypes.

• Gene Expression Study of Individuals with Sex Chromosome Aneuploidies

  Males and females show dramatic differences in their vulnerability to the same diseases. For example, compared to men, lupus is six times more prevalent, thyroid cancer is three times more prevalent, and unipolar depression is twice as prevalent in women. Diseases with a strong male bias include autism (5:1), dilated cardiomyopathy (3:1), and ankylosing spondylitis (5:1). Historically, such differences have been attributed solely to extrinsic factors such as circulating sex hormones or environmental influences. We hypothesized that intrinsic factors - genetic differences between XX and XY cells - have unappreciated biological consequences throughout the body and contribute to sex differences in disease incidence and severity. This hypothesis stems from our long-term effort to sequence the sex chromosomes of diverse mammalian species, which has identified a set of homologous genes on the X and Y chromosomes that are dosage-sensitive, expressed throughout the body, and encode regulators of chromatin modification, transcription, translation, and protein stability. These X- and Y-encoded genes differ in sequence and expression pattern, which likely manifests in genome-wide differences in gene regulation between XX and XY cells and influences all aspects of human biology, including sex differences in disease susceptibility. These hard-wired molecular sex differences have been largely overlooked and understudied, representing a significant gap in our knowledge of human biology.The gene expression study of individuals with sex chromosome aneuploidies takes advantage of natural human variation in sex chromosome number, i.e. sex chromosome aneuploidy, to investigate alterations in genome-wide gene expression that correlate with changes in X- and Y-chromosome dosage. We analyzed samples from 114 individuals with a variety of sex chromosome aneuploidies, including 45,X; 47,XXY; 47,XYY; 47,XXX; 48,XXYY; and 49,XXXXY. We generated lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) from blood samples and, in some cases, fibroblast cultures from skin biopsies. We supplemented our collection with previously-derived cell lines. To evaluate gene expression, we performed deep profiling of the transcriptome (RNA-seq) from these LCLs and fibroblasts. We performed parallel analyses on samples collected from 62 control 46,XX and 46,XY individuals, 6 individuals with trisomy 21, and 14 individuals with structural variations of the X and Y chromosomes. In addition, we performed CRISPRi knockdowns on 3 of the 46,XX and 3 of the 46,XY fibroblast samples for the homologous transcription factors ZFX and ZFY, encoded on the X and Y chromosomes, respectively.In the April 2024 update, we added RNA-seq datasets derived from isolated CD4+ T cells and monocytes from 76 and 72 adults, respectively, with the following sex chromosome constitutions: 45,X; 46,XX; 46,XY; 47,XXX; 47,XXY; 47,XYY. These individuals are largely a subset of the same cohort described above. In addition, we performed RNA-seq on in-vitro stimulated CD4+ T cells with the following sex chromosome constitutions: 45,X; 46,XX; 46,XY; 47,XXY.In the August 2024 update, we added RNA-seq datasets generated from the following: 1) LCLs derived from individuals with AZFa deletions of the Y chromosome, 2) DDX3X and DDX3Y knockdown (via CRISPRi) in XY fibroblasts, and 3) 5-ethyl uridine (5-EU) treatment in XY and XYYYY LCLs.

• Genome Diversity in Africa Project: Benin (2021-02-16)

  Globally, human populations show structured genetic diversity as a result of geographical dispersion, selection and drift. Understanding this genetic variation can provide insights into the evolutionary processes that shape both human adaptation and variation in disease. Populations from SSA have the highest levels of genetic diversity. This characteristic, in addition to historical genetic admixture, can lead to complexities in the design of studies assessing the genetic determinants of disease and human variation. However, such studies of African populations are also likely to provide new opportunities to discover novel disease susceptibility loci and variants and refine gene-disease association signals. A systematic assessment of genetic diversity within SSA would facilitate genomic epidemiological studies in the region. The Genome Diversity in Africa Project (GDAP) aims to produce a comprehensive catalogue of human genetic variation in SSA, including single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), structural variants, and haplotypes. This resource will make a substantial contribution to understanding patterns of genetic diversity within and among populations in SSA, as well as providing a global resource to help design, implement and interpret genomic studies in SSA populations and studies comprising globally diverse populations, complementing existing genomic resources. Specifically, we plan to carry out high depth whole genome sequencing of up to 2000 individuals across Africa (25 individuals from each ethnolinguistic group). Our scientific objectives are to: 1) develop a resource that provides a comprehensive catalogue of genetic variation in populations from SSA accessible to the global scientific community; 2) characterise population genetic diversity, structure, gene flow and admixture across SSA; 3) develop a cost-efficient, next-generation genotype array for diverse populations across SSA; and 4) facilitate whole genome-sequencing association studies of complex traits and diseases by developing a reference panel for imputation and resource for enhancing fine-mapping disease susceptibility loci. These scientific objectives will be supported by cross-cutting operational activities, including network and management of the consortium, research ethics, and research capacity building in statistical genetics and bioinformatics This data is part of a pre-publication release.
