• Breast_Cancer_Matched_Pair_Cell_Line_Whole_Genomes

  We propose to definitively characterise the somatic genetics of matched pair breast cancer cell lines through generation of comprehensive catalogues of somatic mutations by high coverage genome sequencing coupled with integrated transcriptomic and methylation analyses.

• BASIS_RNAseq

  We propose to definitively characterise the somatic genetics of ER+ve, HER2-ve breast cancer through generation of comprehensive catalogues of somatic mutations in 500 cases by high coverage genome sequencing coupled with integrated transcriptomic and methylation analyses.

• Radiotherapy_induced_Sarcoma_exome

  Whole exome library making will be performed on genomic DNA derived from radiotherapy induced sarcoma samples and matched normal DNA from the same patients. Next Generation sequencing will be performed on the resulting libraries and mapped to build 37 of the human reference genome to facilitate the identification of mutations

• Genetic landscape of pediatric ependymoma

  We performed whole-genome sequencing of 42 paired tumor/normal EPD genomes and analyzed somatically acquired single nucleotide variations (SNVs), insertion/deletions, structural variations and copy number variations in the cancer genomes

• Single_Cell_Targeted_Sequence_Capture

  This study is to ascertain whether it is feasible to extract single cell from a tumour, perform amplification, generate a library and sequence a targeted pulldown.

• Clinical Implications of Genomic Alterations in the Tumor and Circulation of Pancreatic Cancer Patients

  Pancreatic adenocarcinoma has the worst mortality of any solid cancer. To evaluate the clinical implications of genomic alterations in this tumor type, we performed whole-exome analyses of 24 tumors, targeted genomic analyses of 77 tumors, and used non-invasive approaches to examine tumor-specific mutations in the circulation of these patients. These analyses reveal somatic mutations in chromatin regulating genes MLL, MLL2, MLL3, and ARID1A in 20% of patients that were associated with improved survival. We observe alterations in genes with potential clinical utility in over a third of cases. Liquid biopsy analyses demonstrate that 43% of patients with localized disease have detectable circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) at diagnosis. Detection of ctDNA after resection predicts clinical relapse and poor outcome, and recurrence by ctDNA is detected 6.5 months earlier than with CT imaging. These observations provide genetic predictors of outcome in pancreatic cancer and have implications for new avenues of therapeutic intervention.

• Novel Epigenetic Markers for Toxicity after Intraoperative and Conventional Radiotherapy for Breast Cancer

  Ionizing radiation is a common treatment option for cancer but its use is limited by the unpredictable and highly heterogeneous onset of late side effects, especially radiation-induced fibrosis. Clinically applicable biomarkers and effective treatments for radiation fibrosis are currently unavailable. In order to identify novel markers we ran a genome-wide DNA methylation screen in primary dermal fibroblasts obtained from breast cancer patients before intraoperative radiotherapy. Cells from patients developing fibrosis within a three-year follow up were compared to those without fibrosis (12 individuals per group). Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation450 BeadChip Technology was used.

• Targeting PTPRK-RSPO3 colon tumours promotesdifferentiation and loss of stem-cell function

  Colorectal cancer remains a major unmet medical need, promptinglarge-scale genomics efforts in the field to identify moleculardrivers for which targeted therapies might be developed. Wepreviously reported the identification of recurrent translocationsin R-spondin proteins present in a subset of colorectal tumours.Here we show that targeting RSPO3 in PTPRK-RSPO3-fusion positivehuman tumour xenografts inhibits tumour growth andpromotes differentiation. Notably, genes expressed in the stem-cellcompartment of the intestine were among those most sensitive toanti-RSPO3 treatment. This observation, combined with functionalassays, suggests that a stem-cell compartment drives PTPRK-RSPO3colorectal tumour growth and indicates that the therapeutictargeting of stem-cell properties within tumours may be a clinicallyrelevant approach for the treatment of colorectal tumors.
