• RNA-seq of longitudinal human blood and nose swab samples from a controlled human infection experiment with SARS-CoV-2 virus

  Controlled human infection experiments enable longitudinal profiling of immune responses to a pathogen. 36 healthy volunteers aged 18-29 years, with no evidence of previous infection or vaccination, were inoculated with SARS-CoV-2 virus and quarantined for 14 days. Blood samples for RNA sequencing were collected into PAXgene tubes before virus challenge, 6 hours after challenge, daily thereafter for 14 days and on day 28. Mid-turbinate nose swabs for RNA sequencing were collected before virus challenge, and on days 1, 3, 5, 7, 10 and 14 after challenge, preserved in RNAprotect.

• Korean Young Age Diffuse Gastric Cancers

  The incidence of diffuse gastric cancers (DGC) remains steadily high, but relatively small numbers of DGCs have been evaluated with whole exome sequencing (WES). Clinicopathological features of DGC vary according to age, but the molecular basis for these variations is unclear. To identify genomic alteration in this unique subset of gastric cancers, whole exome and SNP6 analyses were performed using frozen cancer tissue. The same analyses were also performed using blood of the same patients.

• Study of Melanoma Risk in Australia and the United Kingdom

  The results from a small number of melanoma GWAS have been published. Initial studies identified several pigmentation- and nevus-associated loci that mediate an effect on melanoma risk, however, these studies were somewhat limited in that sample number (hence power) was low, they used first-generation low density SNP arrays, or used pools of DNA samples. Subsequently, additional melanoma GWAS have been completed, including a "Phase 2" study by the International Melanoma Genetics Consortium (GenoMEL), a full GWAS of the Australian sample resource previously used in a pooled-DNA GWAS, and study conducted through the MD Anderson Cancer Center and the Brigham and Women's Hospital. The groups who performed these studies have recently shared data and replicated a number of new melanoma susceptibility loci. Aside from the identification of novel loci, there are two additional notable outcomes of these studies. Firstly, an examination of the observed versus expected test statistics (Q-Q plot) from the Australian study, even after removing data from SNPs within known replicated susceptibility loci, reveals that there remains an excess of positive results. Similarly, the latest GenoMEL study finds almost three times as many SNPs reaching p-values between 10-4 and 10-5 as would be expected by chance. In the light of other studies of complex traits [1], these data suggest that studies based on additional melanoma samples from the same population are likely to identify an even larger "polygenic tail" and should prove invaluable in identifying and characterizing the underlying loci. A second observation, is that the effect size for replicated associations differs very little between GWAS. Given the strong effect of ultraviolet radiation (UVR) on risk of melanoma this might be expected to affect penetrance, particularly in the Australian and English samples, which are ethnically similar, but have very different sun exposures. We hypothesize that those SNPs whose effects are strongly mediated by UVR exposure may have smaller marginal effects on risk and are therefore harder to detect initially, suggesting a whole category of genetic effects that are unexplored.Indeed, most melanoma GWAS performed to date used samples from both European and Australian populations in discovery and or replication, and thus, existing studies have been poorly powered to detect associations with a wide difference in effect between these low- and high-UVR populations. Here, we wish to pursue this hypothesis further and plan to genotype additional cases drawn from the English and Australian populations. This will serve two complementary objectives: firstly, it will greatly increase our collective power to detect additional new melanoma risk alleles; secondly, it will highlight associations that are stronger specifically within the context of either low-UVR or high-UVR exposure environments. We posit that these data will be invaluable, not just for identifying novel melanoma-associated loci, but also for addressing gene-environment interactions. We have available a collection of valuable resources to help fulfill our aims. These include a considerable number of well-characterized and ungenotyped Australian and UK melanoma cases, as well as existing genotype data from sets of Australian and UK cases and population-based controls. We propose the following Specific Aims: To extend our current collective melanoma GWAS by genotyping a large number of additional UK and Australian cases. To jointly analyze these data and identify new melanoma risk loci. To determine whether pre-existing and new melanoma risk alleles show different degrees of association between the English and Australian populations, and assess whether these differences might be due to differences in sunlight exposure.

• bulk RNAseq analysis of tumor from 3 non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer patients

  We performed screenings of patient-specific neo-epitopes by tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T lymphocytes of 4 non-muscle invasive bladder cancer patients. After the tumor resection, these patients went on to receive BCG treatment as they had high-risk disease. In order to select the neo-epitopes, we performed bulk RNAseq of the bladder tumor to select the mutated genes that were expressed in the tumor (TPM >1). For patient UC2, 3 different tumors were resected at the same time and RNA from these 3 tumors were sent separately for RNAseq. For patient UC4, no RNA was available, so this patient is not included in this study.

• Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center - Whole-Exome Sequencing of Hereditary Prostate Cancer Families

  The specific aim of this study is to identify hereditary prostate cancer (HPC) susceptibility genes using a novel study design, whereby whole-exome sequencing will be undertaken on multiple affected relatives from 19 HPC families, in which ≥ 3 affected relatives were diagnosed with clinically aggressive and/or early onset prostate cancer (PC). While whole-exome sequencing of unrelated affected individuals would result in hundreds of candidate disease variants, this family-based, aggressive/early onset phenotype approach will provide an enriched genetic background for discovery and significantly reduce the number of candidate mutations that will require follow-up. Findings from this pilot study will immediately be followed-up to confirm whether candidate mutations found in each family segregate with disease in the remaining unscreened relatives. As part of this pilot study, we aim to: Perform whole-exome sequencing on 80 affected and 11 unaffected relatives from 19 HPC families that have multiple men diagnosed with an aggressive and/or early onset disease phenotype using the Illumina HiSeq platform; and, Analyze sequencing data using BWA, SAMtools and SeattleSeq to prioritize candidate HPC mutations that segregate with aggressive and/or early onset disease in affected relatives.

• Single-cell RNA sequencing of blood immune cells before and after interleukin-2 immunotherapy

  Single-cell RNA sequencing of flow cytometry sorted human CD45+ immune cells from 3 systemic lupus erythematosus patients (SLE_002, SLE_004, and SLE_006) collected at baseline (day 0, before interleukin-2 immunotherpay) and day 5 (after 1 treatment cycle of interleukin-2 immunotherapy). Sorted immune cells were hash tagged and then stained with TotalSeq Human Universal Cocktail (Biolegend) before further processing for single-cell RNA sequencing using the 10X-Genomics platform. Samples from all 3 patients were pooled and loaded on 3 lanes of the chromium controller, resulting in 1 raw sequncing file for each lane.
