• Resolving the Full Spectrum of Human Genome Variation using Linked-Reads

  Large-scale population based analyses coupled with advances in technology have demonstrated that the human genome is more diverse than originally thought. Standard short-read approaches, used primarily due to accuracy, throughput and costs, fail to give a complete picture of a genome. They struggle to identify large, balanced structural events, cannot access repetitive regions of the genome and fail to resolve the human genome into its two haplotypes. Here we describe an approach that retains long range information while harnessing the power of short reads. Starting from only 1ng of DNA, we produce barcoded short read libraries. The use of novel informatic approaches allows for the barcoded short reads to be associated with the long molecules of origin producing a novel datatype known as 'Linked-Reads'. This approach allows for simultaneous detection of small and large variants from a single Linked-Read library. We have previously demonstrated the utility of whole genome Linked-Reads (lrWGS) for performing diploid, de novo assembly of individual genomes. In this manuscript, we show the utility of reference based analysis using a single Linked-Read library for full spectrum genome analysis. We demonstrate the ability of Linked-Reads to reconstruct megabase scale haplotypes and to recover parts of the genome that are typically inaccessible to short reads, including phenotypically important genes such as STRC, SMN1 and SMN2. We demonstrate the ability of both lrWGS and Linked-Read Whole Exome Sequencing (lrWES) to identify complex structural variations, including balanced events, single exon deletions, and single exon duplications. The data presented here show that Linked-Reads provide a scalable approach for comprehensive genome analysis that is not possible using short reads alone.

• We evaluate the potential for routine WGS using ONT by sequencing the well-characterised reference sample NA12878 and the genome of an individual with ataxia-pancytopenia syndrome accompanied by severe immune dysregulation.

  Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) is becoming widely used in clinical medicine in diagnostic contexts and to inform treatment choice. While current sequencing technologies have been extremely successful, their reliance on short read lengths necessarily involves some limitations: accurately assaying certain genomic regions and classes of variation can be problematic. Recent advances in throughput and cost have made WGS using the Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) MinION long-read single-molecule sequencer a potential solution to these challenges. Here we evaluate the potential for routine WGS using ONT by sequencing the well-characterised reference sample NA12878 and the genome of an individual with ataxia-pancytopenia syndrome accompanied by severe immune dysregulation, to 82× and 30× respectively. For NA12878, we evaluated single-nucleotide variant (SNV) calls based on data from multiple base-calling algorithms. We demonstrate that phasing metrics from a novel, reference panel-free, long-read-based method can improve variant-calling performance from otherwise modest levels, resulting in a false discovery rate of 7.1% and false negative rate of 8.5%; remaining errors are concentrated near homopolymers and in regions of reduced sequencing coverage. In the clinical sample, we are able to identify and directly phase two non-synonymous de novo variants in SAMD9L, (OMIM #159550) inferring that they both lie on a common paternal haplotype by overlap with parental genotypes at nearby common variants. This work demonstrates that methodological innovation can substantially reduce variant-calling error rates in ONT data, and that with on-going improvements in throughput, base-calling and dedicated long-read-based SNV-calling methodology, ONT offers promise as an option for clinical WGS.

• Genetic mechanisms of resistance to chemotherapy in breast cancer

  Resistance towards chemotherapy is one of the main causes of treatment failure and deathamong breast cancer patients.The main objective of this project is toidentify genetic mechanisms causing some breast cancer patients not torespond to a particluar type of chemotherapy (epirubicin) while otherpatients respond very well to the same treatment. In the project wewill perform genome / exome sequencing of a selection of breast cancerpatients (n=30). These patients are drawn from a cohort where allpatients have recieved treatment with epirubicin monotherapy before surgical removal of alocally advanced breast tumour, and where all patients have beensubjected to objective evaluation of the response to thetherapy. Subsequent to sequencing, we will analyse the data andcompare with the clinical data for each patient (object response totherapy). The main aim being to identify mutations that are associatedwith resistance to epirubicin. Identification of mutations with strongpredictive value, may have a direct impact on cancer treatment sinceit opens the possibility for genetic testing of a tumour, and desicionon which drug is likely to work best, prior to treatment start.

• Differential Mutations in Matched Primary and Metastatic Colorectal Cancers

  This study compares DNA mutations detected in matched primary and metastatic colorectal cancer samples from 18 individuals across 1,321 genes. We found many more mutations were shared between tumor pairs (avg. 33.3 mutations/tumor) than were discordant (avg. 2.3 mutations / tumor). Nearly all tumors showed at least one discordance, and these were observed in genes known to be involved in colorectal cancer progression. Therefore, although primary and metastatic colorectal tumors are highly genetically concordant, evidence exists for discordance, which has clinical implications especially in situations of chemotherapy resistance or insensitivity.

• CALGB/SWOG 80405 ct DNA Biomarker Evaluation

  To investigate treatment-specific mutations that underlie resistance to treatment with chemotherapy +/- bevacizumab or cetuximab in first line metastatic Colorectal Cancer (mCRC) patients, we performed targeted sequencing of circulating free DNA (cfDNA) from longitudinal plasma samples. These samples were collected at baseline (PRE, n=354), during treatment (OTH, n=254), and/or at progression or end of the protocol treatment (EOT, n=345) from CALGB/SWOG 80405, a randomized phase III trial that evaluated the efficacy of chemotherapy plus bevacizumab or cetuximab treatment in first line colorectal cancer patients (NCT00265850).

• A prospective multicenter study of plasma ctDNA versus archival tumor tissue to guide FGFR-targeted therapy in metastatic urothelial cancer - Targeted

  Targeted sequencing data related to the publication titled "A prospective multicenter study of plasma ctDNA versus archival tumor tissue to guide FGFR-targeted therapy in metastatic urothelial cancer." FGFR alterations, seen in up to 25% of metastatic urothelial carcinoma, can be exploited with targeted therapy. Here, we perform targeted sequencing of cell-free DNA, archival FFPE, and white blood cell DNA to compare ctDNA versus tissue for FGFR biomarker status and monitor temporal changes to FGFR over the disease course, specifically after progressing on targeted therapy.
