• Defective mitophagy and enhanced oxidative stress dictate regulatory T cell impairment in autoimmunity

  Regulatory T cell (Treg) impairment is a common denominator of autoimmune pathologies. Despite the extensive characterization of Treg cell phenotype in autoimmunity, the molecular mechanisms underlying their deterioration remain ill defined. To investigate Treg dysfunction during autoimmunity we performed transcriptomic analysis of CD4+CD25highCD127- Treg cells from peripheral blood of patients with autoimmunity.

• Hydroxycarbamide effect on DNA methylation and gene expression in MPN patients

  Hydroxycarbamide (HC), is a cytoreductive drug frequently used to control cell blood counts in patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs).To further explore the effects of HC in MPN patients, we performed DNA methylation and gene expression profiling of two differentially developed and clinically relevant cell types, both before and following HC exposure.

• Mutant_clone_mapping_in_normal_oesohagus_and_skin_2

  We will use targeted exome sequencing to examine normal appearing oesophageal epithelium and skin to determine the mutational burden. DNA will be extracted from epithelia of a defined size and we will overlay positional information from the epithelial pieces to give clone maps over a wide area. This will be done in both oesophageal epithelium and skin

• Methylation analysis of plasma DNA informs etiologies of Epstein-Barr virus-associated diseases

  Through whole-genome methylation analysis of plasma samples from patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), EBV-associated lymphoma and infectious mononucleosis, we demonstrate that EBV DNA methylation profiles exhibit a disease-associated pattern. Such observation implies significant potentials in the development of methylation analysis of plasma EBV DNA for NPC diagnostics.

• Clonal architectures predict clinical outcome in clear cell renal cell carcinoma

  We analyze the clonal architectures of ccRCC patients from three different populations, including TCGA, Japanese and Chinese patients. We characterize the mutational signatures across different populations and evolution stages. The TCGA and Japanese data sets were downloaded from published studies and we also generated the whole genome sequencing data for more than 40 Chinese patients.

• COVID-19 Severity of First Wave of Infection for Severe Patients in Madrid

  Through thorough exclusion criteria and deep phenotypic characterisation for a Madrid-based population we intend to find enrichment of gene mutations associated to severity. In addition we will look for statistically overrepresented annotation of particular phenotypes (a controlled vocabulary specifically developed for this project) that associate them to affected genes in our patient sample.

• 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 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 influences diabetes risk.

• Childhood Cancer Model Atlas

  we establish a single-site collection of 243 cell lines, including 207 paediatric cancer cell lines representing 14 distinct extracranial and brain childhood tumour types. We subjected 164 paediatric cancer cell lines to multi-omic analyses across three dimensions (DNA-sequencing, RNA-sequencing, DNA methylation) to classify them based on clinically relevant molecular subtypes.

• Finding structural variation from the human skin fibroblast at the single-cell level

  Somatic structural variants (SVs) are widespread in cancer, but their impact on disease evolution is understudied due to a lack of methods to directly characterize their molecular consequences. We present a computational method, scNOVA, that integrates haplotype-resolved SV discovery with nucleosome occupancy analysis using Strand-seq, to functionally characterize SVs in single cells.

• Multi-omics analyses of airway host-microbe interactions in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease identify potential therapeutic interventions

  The mechanistic role of the airway microbiome in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) remains largely unexplored. We present a landscape of airway microbe-host interactions in COPD through an in-depth profiling of the sputum metagenome, metabolome, host transcriptome and proteome from 99 COPD patients and 36 healthy individuals in China.
