• Tracing early predictors of glioma evolution under therapy

  Clonal evolution drives cancer progression and therapeutic resistance. Recent studies revealed divergent longitudinal trajectories in gliomas, but early molecular traits steering post-treatment cancer evolution remain unclear. We analyzed sequencing data of 544 initial-recurrent adult diffuse glioma pairs to identify genomic and transcriptomic early predictors of tumor evolution in each molecular subtype.

• The Landscape of N-6 Methyladenosine in Primary Localized Prostate Cancer

  Using meRIP-sequencing, we profiled N-6 methyladenosine (m6A) in a cohort of 148 primary prostate cancer samples as part of the Canadian Prostate Cancer Genome Network project (CPC-GENE). Paired-end sequencing of 150 bp reads were mapped to GRCh38.p13 using annotations from gencode.v34.chr_patch_hapl_scaff.annotation.gtf. Peaks were called using MeTPeak, joint peaks were identified and IP reads were quantitated, normalized and adjusted using Input reads to obtain estimates of m6A abundance.

• WES on tumor DNA and germline DNA in pediatric cancer

  This dataset contains whole exome sequencing (WES) data from tumor DNA samples of various pediatric cancer entities. Files are provided in fastq format. Samples were sequenced on a Novaseq6000 or Hiseq2500 (Illumina). Data analysis is available at https://github.com/rmvpaeme/sWGS_pediatric_cancer.

• TNBC ctDNA Targeted Panel

  Circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) detection in liquid biopsy is an emerging alternative to tissue biopsy, but its utility in treatment response monitoring and prognosis in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) remains to be well understood. In this study, we determined the presence of early stage TNBC ctDNA detectable actionable mutations with a clinically validated hotspot treatment indication panel. Sequencing of plasma DNA from 130 TNBC patients collected within 7 months of primary treatment completion revealed that 7.7% had detectable residual disease with a hotspot panel. Among neoadjuvant treated patients, we observed a trend where patients with incomplete pathologic response and positive ctDNA within 7 months of treatment completion were at risk of reduced progression free survival. We propose that a high risk subset of early TNBC patients treated in NAT protocols may be identifiable by combining tissue response and sensitive ctDNA detection.

• Clonal architecture and genomic features of smoking versus non-smoking oncogene-driven East-Asian non-small cell lung cancer

  Unlike smoking-related non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC), oncogene-driven tumors are characterized by low mutational burdens and complex genomic landscapes. However, the clonal architecture and genomic landscape of the oncogene-driven tumors in smokers remains unknown. Here, we investigate the impact of tobacco smoking on the genomic and transcriptomic alterations in the context of oncogene-driven NSCLC.

• PELICAN45 RNAseq Dataset

  To better understand the biology of prostate cancer, we performed RNAseq in cancerous (primary and metastatic) and noncancerous tissues in the PELICAN45 cohort. The PELICAN45 RNAseq samples include androgen-deprived metastasis samples from the PELICAN33 consenting rapid autopsy study participants, whose identifiers are A1, A2, etc. The PELICAN45 RNAseq dataset also includes data from non-androgen deprived metastases in an additional 12 men. These samples are identified as PB50, PB133, etc.

• Analysis of T-cell receptor clonotypes in tumor micro-environment identifies shared cancer type-specific signatures

  Despite the conventional view that a truly random V(D)J recombination process should generate a highly diverse immune repertoire, emerging reports suggest that there is a certain bias towards the generation of shared/public immune receptor chains. These studies were performed in viral diseases where public T-cell receptors (TCR) appear to confer better protective responses. Selective pressures generating common TCR clonotypes are currently not well understood but it is believed that they confer a growth advantage. As very little is known about public TCR clonotypes in cancer, here we set out to determine the extent of shared TCR clonotypes in the intra-tumor microenvironments of virus- and non-virus- driven head and neck cancers using TCR sequencing. We report that tumor-infiltrating T-cell clonotypes were indeed shared across individuals with the same cancer type, where the majority of shared sequences were specific to the cancer type (ie viral versus non-viral). These shared clonotypes were not particularly enriched in EBV-associated nasopharynx cancer, but in both cancers, exhibited distinct characteristics, namely shorter CDR3 lengths, restricted V- and J-gene usages and also demonstrated convergent V(D)J recombination. Many of these shared TCRs were expressed in patients with a shared HLA background. Pattern recognition of CDR3 amino acid sequences revealed strong convergence to specific motifs that were unique to each cancer type, suggesting they may be enriched for specificity to common antigens found in the tumor microenvironment. The identification of shared TCRs in infiltrating tumor T-cells not only adds to our understanding of the tumor adaptive immune recognition but could also serve as disease-specific biomarkers and guide the development of future immunotherapies.

• Personalized Onco-Genomic Project for pediatric and adolescent patients in British Columbia

  This is an extension of the BC Cancer Agency's Personalized Onco-Genomics (POG) project to children and adolescents treated at BC Children's Hospital. The project provides access to whole genome and transcriptome sequencing, and integrated bioinformatics analyses, of relapsed, refractory or poor prognosis cancers with an aim to identify actionable variants that can inform clinical decision making.
