• An Advanced Molecular Medicine Case Report of a Rare Human Tumor Using Genomics, Pathomics, and Radiomics

  The associated data of this study is derived from a single female patient with pulmonary sclerosing pneumocytoma (PSP). The aim of this study is to provide the most comprehensive, multi-modality sequencing study of a single case of PSP to-date. To this end, the following sequencing experiments were performed: i) RNA-Seq of the primary tumor and adjacent normal tissues (6 replicates for each tissue type), which was intended to analyze RNA-Seq fusions, gene expression, expression mutations, ii) low-pass DNA whole genome sequencing (WGS) from primary tumor tissue and germline, which was intended to analyze copy number aberrations, and iii) DNA targeted panel sequencing of lung cancer associated genes, using primary tumor tissue and germline from white blood cells, which was intended to analyze somatic mutations. Principal findings: i) the PSP hallmark mutation AKT1 (p.E17K) was detected within both the DNA and RNA, and ii) the TP53 signaling pathway was found to be statistically significant by three different pathway analysis tools of analyzing gene expression and pathway ramifications. Among proteins within the TP53 signaling pathway, the p53 inhibitor encoded by MDM2 was found to be overexpressed (by differential gene expression analysis). The original sequencing data (i.e., FastQ files) from each of the aforementioned samples will be accessible through dbGaP.

• Characterization of Clonal Evolution in Microsatellite Unstable Metastatic Cancers through Multi-Regional Tumor Sequencing

  Whole exome sequencing was performed on blood and multiple tumor samples from six patients with known microsatellite unstable tumors. Subclones within each tumor site were identified and within each subclone, differing microsatellite instability was characterized.

• The UC San Diego Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) Study

  The UC San Diego Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Study is designed to identify genetic, epigenetic, and transcriptional changes important for CLL. This data release consists of samples collected to 1) identify genomic changes associated with CLL progression using serially collected tumor samples; 2) characterize the transcriptional consequences of SF3B1 mutation through RNA-seq; and 3) characterize the expression profiles of ROR1+ vs. ROR1- tumors. The samples were collected from participants at the University of California, San Diego Moores Cancer Center and the data was generated at UC San Diego or in collaboration with the BC Cancer Agency Genome Sciences Centre.

  Genetic and epigenetic analysis of patient-derived xenograft models of acquired chemoresistance in small cell lung cancer.

• Contribution of systemic and somatic factors to clinical response and resistance in urothelial cancer: an exploratory multi-omic analysis

  Patients with metastatic urothelial cancer (n=29) were treated with atezolizumab (anti-PD-L1). All 29 patients had T-cell receptor sequencing (TCR-seq) of the pre-treatment blood; 24 also had TCR-seq on at least one post-treatment blood sample. 24 patients had TCR-seq of their pre-treatment tumors. TCR-seq data can be found at http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.546110. 26 patients also had RNAseq of their tumors and whole exome sequencing (WES) of their tumors and matched normal blood. WES results for one sample were excluded from our analysis after failing to meet coverage requirements.

• Metastatic Colorectal Adenocarcinoma Tumor Purity Assessment from Whole Exome Sequencing Data

  As molecular medicine wields greater and greater influence on cancer patient care, including therapeutic selection, it becomes increasingly important to understand the power and deficiencies of computational tools used in decision making processes. Here we use a set of unselected metastatic colorectal tumor samples in a head-to-head comparison between the calculation of stromal content by a board certified pathologist, versus that derived from whole exome sequencing and purity assessment by a variety of common computational methods. We find that in about 1/2 of the samples the computational methods each do a poor job of assessing the percent stromal contamination, and as a result, tumor variant allele frequencies (VAFs) are low or undetected, whereas analysis of organoids derived from the same tumors yielded much higher VAFs in keeping with their lower stromal content. The whole exome sequence of our samples is available via dbGaP, accession phs003059.v1.p1.

• Somatic Mutation Profile by Next Generation Sequencing in HER2+ Breast Cancer

  The HER pathway is the driving force behind 30% of human breast cancers. It is important to understand how targeted therapies block different cellular pathways, and mechanisms of escape from this blockage. Therapies directed at HER2 establish a successful treatment paradigm, but de novo and acquired resistance exist. The HER signaling system is a complex network with four receptors and eleven ligands, a phosphorylation signaling cascade, and many transcription factors, all complicated by both positive and negative feedback circuits. Analysis of genomes, exomes and transcriptomes by next generation sequencing is aimed at uncovering the genetic factors responsible for patient responses to HER2-directed therapies. We are sequencing HER2-overexpressing cancers, in order to identify potential somatic changes that may better select patients who will benefit from therapy, to determine new targets that may overcome resistance, and to improve outcomes with known current HER2-targeted therapies. Whole exome capture sequencing will determine somatic mutation profiles in HER2-overexpressing tumors, to comprehensively characterize the somatic alterations, with the goal of identifying those patients most likely to respond, as well as discovering new targets that may overcome resistance to HER2-directed therapy. We augment the whole exome data with RNA-seq data to determine expression levels of somatic mutations we discover.

• Genome-Wide Characterization of Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma Patients Using Next Generation Sequencing

  In this study, we whole genome sequenced tumor/normal pairs from three pancreatic adenocarcinoma patients to separately characterize each patient with respect to somatic alterations. For 2 patients for whom tumor RNA was available, we also performed RNA sequencing to evaluate gene expression changes. While additional sequencing is needed to improve our understanding of the disease, the information acquired from this study contributes to our knowledge base on pancreatic cancer and helps to establish a foundation for identifying and developing more efficacious treatments for patients.

• Genomic Analysis of Nucleic Acid Sequences from Pancreatic Cancer

  Our study aims to perform multi-omics analysis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. We performed dual single-cell RNA sequencing and whole genome sequencing on fresh tumor specimens and dual bulk RNA-sequencing and 16S amplicon sequencing on frozen tumor specimens to identify human and non-human nucleic acid sequences. Additionally, we identified microbial sequences and found that bacterial taxonomic profiles from the same sample strongly correlated across technologies.

• TCGA WGS Variants Across 18 Cancer Types

  Even though whole genome sequence (WGS) data has been generated and published in many studies, much of this information is not yet processed for use in down-stream analysis. This study's aim is to provide 1342 WGS normal-tumor paired single nucleotide variations (SNP) over 18 different cancer types provided by The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) project. Individual level data for TCGA can be accessed by requesting access for phs000178. This data includes variations within self-reported white and African-American populations. Variations that exist within the tumor tissue but are absent in associated normal organ tissue (as compared to the human reference genome) are reported. Data published includes SNP and small insertions and deletions, which were generated through a pipeline including the VarScan2 variant calling software.
