• Precursor_lesions__clonal_architecture_and_relapse_in_Wilms_nephroblastoma

  Targeted resequencing at high depth (21 genes, 9 chromosomal regions): at least 4 FFPE samples per case and matched germline DNA: •100 cases with detailed outcome data, including 15 cases with tumour relapse (515 samples)•40 cases with matched pre-chemotherapy biopsies (240 samples)•50 nephrogenic rests matched to above cases (50 samples)We expect a proportion (possibly 10%) of cases to be mutationally silent on the above studies, and propose to subsequently carry out integrated whole-genome, methylome and transcriptome studies on matched frozen tissue from these cases

• Circulating tumour DNA abundance and potential utility in de novo metastatic prostate cancer

  Several systemic therapeutic options exist for metastatic castration sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC). Circulating tumour DNA can profile metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer and influence treatment decisions, but remains untested in mCSPC. We set out to determine ctDNA abundance at de novo mCSPC diagnosis and whether ctDNA provides complementary clinically relevant information to a prostate biopsy. We collected and sequenced 77 plasma cell-free DNA samples from 53 newly diagnosed patients with mCSPC. Targeted sequencing was also performed on DNA from 48 diagnostic prostate tissue samples.

• Acute_Lymphoblastic_Leukemia_Exome_sequencing

  Agilent whole exome hybridisation capture will be performed on genomic DNA derived from 50 Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia samples and matched normal DNA from the same patients. Three lanes of Illumina GA sequencing will be performed on the resulting 100 exome libraries and mapped build 37 of the human reference genome to facilitate the identification of novel cancer genes. In addition, 500bp, NO_PCR total genomic libraries will be prepared from the same samples and five lanes of Illumina GA sequencing will be analysed to characterise genome wide, somatically acquired structural variation.

• Independent development of lymphoid and histiocytic malignancies from a shared early precursor

  Recent reports have described lineage flexibility in patients with recurrent hematologic malignancies. We encountered a boy with T-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia, non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis and histiocytic sarcoma. All tumors showed identical T-cell receptor rearrangements, but SNP arrays and whole exome sequencing revealed unique aberrations in each tumor. From the genetic data we conclude that the tumors were derived from a precursor cell with lineage plasticity for both lymphoid and myeloid development. From this precursor cell, the tumors evolved with independent genetic progression in a non-linear manner.

• Human_Colorectal_Cancer_Exome_Sequencing

  In this experiment we sequenced a collection of genes identified as being mutated in a Sleeping Beauty Screen in a mouse colorectal Cancer Model in human tumours collected from patients with germline mutations in APC and also other familial CRC predisposition syndromes. We also sequenced the germline of these patients allowing us to identify somatically mutated genes. This data is part of a pre-publication release.

• Genome-wide search for higher order epistasis as modifiers of treatment effects on bone mineral density in childhood cancer survivors

  Survivors of pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) exposed to curative treatments that adversely affect BMD (age- and sex-adjusted BMD Z-scores, measured via QCT). Specifically, after SNP QC and annotation, we considered 75523 autosomal SNPs mapped to putative promoter or enhancer regions to restrict our search to 3-way SNP interactions that potentially reflect gene regulation events that influence BMD. We replicated 3-SNP interactions as modifiers of treatment effects in a cohort of adult survivors of non-ALL pediatric cancers (N=1428).

• Identification_of_drug_resistance_genes_in_melanoma_by_mRNA_gene_expression

  We aim to sequence the mRNA transcriptome of 22 human melanoma cell lines in biological triplicate in order to define the gene expression profile of each cell line. The data will be correlated to the mutation status and the sensitivity to a panel of drugs in order to identify genes whose deregulation is associated to drug resistanceThis data is part of a pre-publication release.

• Identification_of_drug_resistance_genes_in_melanoma_by_small_RNAs_expression_analysis

  We aim to sequence the small RNAs of 22 human melanoma cell lines in biological triplicate in order to define the microRNAs expression profile of each cell line. The data will be correlated to the mutation status and the sensitivity to a panel of drugs in order to identify genes whose deregulation is associated to drug resistanceThis data is part of a pre-publication release.

• Analysis of copy number variation landscape of glioma by shallow coverage whole genome sequencing

  We reported shallow coverage whole genome sequencing (WGS) is an economic method for identification of whole genome somatic copy number variation (SCNV). Combining with a Taqman low density array (TLDA) designed for molecular subtyping of glioma, it enabled classification of glioma into biological entities with different cellular origin and genomic alterations. Further, we also showed shallow-coverage WGS enabled systematic identification of clonal and subclonal SCNV in glioma genomes and the burden and pattern of SCNV can serve as an objective marker of tumor progression and predict risk and relapse.
