• PRADO trial - Personalized response-directed surgery and adjuvant therapy after neoadjuvant ipilimumab plus nivolumab in stage III melanoma

  The PRADO trial tested a personalized response-directed treatment approach based on the pathologic response after neoadjuvant ipilimumab plus nivolumab in stage III melanoma patients. In patients achieving a major pathologic response, in their index lymph node (the largest lymph node metastasis at baseline), therapeutic lymph node dissection (TLND) and adjuvant therapy were omitted. Patients with partial response underwent TLND only, whereas patients with pathologic non-response underwent TLND and adjuvant systemic therapy ± synchronous radiotherapy.

• Investigation of BK Polyomavirus (BKPyV) and Molecular Signatures in UC specimens from Taiwan

  Urothelial carcinoma (UC) is the most prevalent cancer of kidney transplant recipients in some regions. The integration of BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) genome into the human genome is observed in some cases of UC. The prevalence of aristolochic acid (AA) mutational signatures in urothelial carcinoma is high in the general population of Taiwan. To better understand the mechanisms of UC carcinogenesis in kidney transplant recipients, 19 UC specimens were analyzed by whole genome sequencing (WGS) and Hybrid Sequencing.

• Single cell RNA sequencing of peripheral blood HSPC from patients with sickle cell anemia and healthy donors

  Neutrophils and monocytes are critical contributors to the pathophysiology of sickle cell anemia (SCA) and are persistently elevated in patients' circulation. While chronic hemolysis has been implicated in this leukocytosis, the underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Our data show a myeloid-skewed transcriptional signature in early progenitor populations, including multipotent progenitors (MPPs) and hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Notably, we identify upregulation of the type I interferon signaling pathway in HSPCs as a key driver of early myeloid programming in SCA.

• Genotyping from targeted NGS data based on a small set of SNPs correctly matches patient samples

  Mislabelling and swapping of laboratory samples are handling errors that can lead to erroneous interpretation of data and/or patient harm. Sequenced samples can be traced back to the respective donors by matching of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Here we used sequencing data (targeted NGS) from two cohorts of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia to demonstrate the possibility of selecting informative SNPs from a typical targeted NGS panel and to create an automated workflow for detection of sample handling errors.

• South African Blood Regulatory (SABR) Resource

  Functional genomics resources are critical for interpreting human genetic studies, however they are predominantly from European-ancestry individuals. Here we present the South African Blood Regulatory (SABR) resource, a map of blood regulatory variation that includes three South Eastern Bantu-speaking groups. Using paired whole genome and blood transcriptome data from over 600 individuals, we map the genetic architecture of 40 blood cell traits derived from deconvolution analysis, as well as expression, splice, and cell type interaction quantitative trait loci (QTL).

• Activation-Induced Marker (AIM) Sequencing of Healthy Human T Cells

  T cells from five healthy human donors were stimulated with a peptide pool (CEFX, JPT) and anti-CD28/CD49d co-stimulation. Cells were then sorted based on activation (OX40 and PD-L1 for CD4s, CD137 for CD8s) and labeled with corresponding hashing antibodies prior to sequencing. In total, this dataset encompasses 42,370 cells (12,743 activation-induced marker (AIM)-positive, 15,369 AIM-negative, 14,258 Mock) for CITE-sequencing and TCR-sequencing of sorted activated, unactivated, and mock T cells derived from blood.

• Identification of G-Quadruplex Clusters by High-Throughput Sequencing of Whole-Genome Amplified Products with a G-Quadruplex Ligand

  G-quadruplex (G4) is a non-canonical DNA structure that has been found in the genome. To identify clusters of G4-forming sequences in the genome, we performed whole genome amplification (WGA) in the presence or absence of a G4 ligand that inhibits DNA polymerase activity on the G4 forming regions, followed by high-throughput sequencing of the WGA products. As the results, 12254 G4 cultures were identified on HeLa genomic DNA.

• Application of targeted long-read methylation sequencing to dissected lung cancer tissues

  To investigate DNA methylation patterns within the tumor microenvironment, multiple regions were dissected from fresh-frozen sections of two lung adenocarcinoma specimens using the Millisect system. These regions were annotated based on spatial transcriptome data. DNA samples extracted from these regions were subjected to targeted long-read methylation sequencing using t-nanoEM. To establish a control dataset, short-read whole-genome sequencing (WGS) was performed on the tumor and normal parts, and long-read WGS was performed on the tumor part.

• ctDNA multigenic panel for non-small cell lung cancer

  Detection of actionable mutations in liquid biopsies constitute an important tool for management of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients in the era of oncology precision medicine. We aimed to evaluate the actionable alterations using a commercial multi-gene panel in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) derived from plasma samples of treatment naïve and prior-treated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. For this, we analyze plasma samples of 30 subjects with non-small cell lung cancer.

• Generation of hypoimmunogenic induced pluripotent stem cells by CRISPR-Cas9 system and detailed evaluation for clinical application

  We established hypoimmunogenic human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to minimize the immune rejection caused by mismatches of HLA type. Here, we optimized the protocol for good manufacturing practice (GMP)-compatible CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing to deplete the three gene locus (HLA-A, HLA-B, and CIITA genes) simultaneously in HLA homozygous iPSCs. RNA-seq and flow cytometry analyses confirmed the successful depletion of HLAs, and lineage-specific differentiation into cardiomyocytes was verified.
