• High-throughput Detection of Clinically Relevant Mutations in Archived Tumor Samples By Multiplexed PCR and Next Generation Sequencing

  PURPOSE: Tailoring cancer treatment to tumor molecular characteristics promises to make personalized medicine a reality. However, reliable genetic profiling of archived clinical specimens has been hindered by limited sensitivity and high false positive rates. Here, we describe a novel methodology, MMP-seq, which enables sensitive and specific high-throughput, high content genetic profiling in archived clinical samples. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: We first validated MMP-seq’s technical performance in 66 cancer cell lines and a Latin square cross-dilution of known somatic mutations. We next characterized the performance of MMP-seq in 17 formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) clinical samples using matched fresh frozen (FF) tissue from the same tumors as benchmarks. To demonstrate the potential clinical utility of our methodology, we profiled FFPE tumor samples from 73 endometrial cancer patients. RESULTS: We demonstrated that MMP-seq enabled rapid and simultaneous profiling of a panel of 88 cancer genes in 48 samples, and detected variants at frequencies as low as 0.4%. We identified DNA degradation and deamination as the main error sources and developed practical and robust strategies for mitigating these issues, and dramatically reduced the false positive rate. Applying MMP-seq to a cohort of endometrial tumor samples identified extensive, potentially actionable alterations in the PI3K and RAS pathways, including novel PIK3R1 hotspot mutations that may disrupt negative regulation of PIK3CA. CONCLUSIONS: MMP-seq provides a robust solution for comprehensive, reliable and high- throughput genetic profiling of clinical tumor samples, paving the way for the incorporation of genomic-based testing into clinical investigation and practice.

• comparing the snRNA-seq from placentas of mothers with or without obesity

  Obesity poses risks to maternal health and increases the likelihood of short- and long-term adverse pregnancy outcomes in the offspring. The placenta, a key organ at the maternal-fetal interface, responds to maternal obesity and regulates fetal growth. To investigate the molecular features of physiological adaptation, we perform single-nuclei RNA-seq on human placentas and compared the transcriptomic profiles of women with obesity delivering appropriate- or large-for-gestational age (i.e., AGA and LGA) babies with those from normal-weight healthy controls with AGA babies. The snRNA-seq libraries were generated with Chromium Single Cell 3’ kit v3.1 (10X Genomics) and sequenced on Illumina NovaSeq 6000 at Novogene.

• MIBC NAC2020 cohort RNA sequencing

  The dataset contains RNA sequencing data from N=48 transurethral resections of bladder tumours (TURBTs) from N=48 patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer. All TURBTs originate from formalin-fixed paraffin embedded tissue. We used the Illumina TruSeq RNA exome kit, previously known as the TruSeq RNA Access Library Prep Kit. This kit converts total RNA into template molecules of known strand origin, followed by sequence-specific capture of coding RNA. All samples were run in an Illumina NovaSeq6000 instrument. Paired FASTQ files from all 48 patients are provided.

• Discordant_Monozygotic_Twins_ALS(Transcriptomics)

  Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by motor neuron degeneration. Despite known genetic contributions to both familial and sporadic ALS cases, much of ALS heritability remains unexplained, suggesting the involvement of other genetic and epigenetic factors. To address this gap, we used a comprehensive multi-omics approach, in a pair of Italian monozygotic twins discordant for ALS, integrating DNA methylation, transcriptomics, and whole exome sequencing (WES). Here we share transcriptomic data derived from bulk RNA-seq on RNA extracted from PBMCs of the twin pair. This analysis revealed distinct transcriptomic profiles underlying the discordant disease phenotypes.

• RNAseq of human breast cancer tumors from the PEARL study

  Formalin fixed, paraffin-embedded human breast cancer tumor samples had RNA extracted using the Thermo Scientific KingFisher Flex instrument and the Applied Biosystems MagMAX FFPE DNA/RNA Ultra Kit; Total RNA libraries were created using the Bravo Automated Liquid-Handling Platform and the TruSeq Stranded Total RNA Library Prep Gold Kit; libraries were sequenced on the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 machine using a 2x50 bp paired-end configuration to target a read depth of 120 million clusters per library.

• De novo modeling of chromoplectic Ewing sarcoma tumors from patient-derived mesenchymal stem cells

  Ewing sarcoma is characterized by pathognomonic translocations fusing most frequently EWSR1 with FLI1 (EF1). In addition, Ewing sarcoma can also display alterations in STAG2, TP53 and CDKN2A (SPC). Starting from Ewing sarcoma derived human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCpat), we recapitulated this translocation and SPC alterations using a CRISPR/cas9 approach and generated a bona fide Ewing sarcoma model (EWIma1) displaying transcriptomic (RNA-seq) and epigenetic (ChIP-seq) hallmarks of EwS.

• Whole scRNA-seq from pre frontal cortex patient biopsy

  The single- cell RNA-seq prefrontal cortex sample was selected from a cohort of patients with hydrocephalus ≥18 years of age planning to undergo CSF diversion surgery either with a ventriculoperitoneal shunt placement (VP) or ventriculocisternostomy (VCS). The tissue was dissociated followed by red cell and debris removal and counting of the cells to be sequenced with (scRNA-seq; 10x Genomics kit v2). After dissociation only non neuronal cells were retrieved.

• Amplicon sequencing of long non-coding RNA associated with gastritis and gastric carcinogenesis

  This study aimed to identify dysregulations of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) in gastric cancer, and to reveal molecular functions of lncRNAs associated with gastritis and gastric carcinogenesis. We also aimed to reveal the correlation between clinicopathological characteristics and lncRNA alterations. To this end, we will try to develop predictive markers of gastric cancer risk, which enables prevention and early detection of gastric cancer. We will also try to develop molecular markers which enable us to select treatment strategies for gastric cancer.

• Multiplexed scRNA-Seq Reveals Cellular and Genetic Correlates of SLE

  Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a heterogeneous autoimmune disease. Knowledge of circulating immune cell types and cell states associated with SLE remains incomplete. We profiled over 1.2 million PBMCs (160 cases, 98 controls) with multiplexed single-cell RNA-seq (mux-seq). Cases exhibited prominent expression of type-1 interferon-stimulated genes (ISG) in monocytes, reduction of naïve CD4+ T cells that correlated with monocyte ISG expression, and expansion of repertoire-restricted cytotoxic GZMH+ CD8+ T cells. Cell-type-specific expression features accurately predicted case-control status and stratified patients into two molecular subtypes. We integrated dense genotyping data, mapping cell-type-specific cis-eQTLs and linked known and novel SLE-associated variants to cell-type-specific gene expression. These results demonstrate mux-seq as a systematic approach to characterize cellular composition, identify transcriptional signatures, and annotate genetic variants associated with SLE.

• G&T-seq: parallel sequencing of the genomes and transcriptomes of single cells

  The ability to simultaneously sequence the genome and transcriptome of the same single cell offersa powerful means to dissect functional genetic heterogeneity at the cellular level. Here we describeG&T-seq, a method for separating and sequencing genomic DNA and full-length mRNA from singlecells. By applying G&T-seq to over 220 single cells we reveal cellular properties that cannot beinferred from DNA or RNA sequencing alone, including associations between DNA copy numbervariation and gene expression dosage. We further demonstrate the detection of coding interchromosomalfusions and single nucleotide variants in both the genomes and transcriptomes ofindividual cells. G&T-seq enables the study of genotype-phenotype associations in single cells, andthe investigation of DNA cell lineage trees of healthy and diseased tissues with transcriptome inferredcell types and states.
