• Benchmarking for alignment and variant calling

  Background: Lung cancer is a heterogeneous disease and the primary cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Somatic mutations, including large structural variants, are important biomarkers in lung cancer for selecting targeted therapy. Genomic studies in lung cancer have been conducted using short-read sequencing. Emerging long-read sequencing technologies are a promising alternative to study somatic structural variants, however there is no current consensus on how to process data and call somatic events. In this study, we preformed whole genome sequencing of lung cancer and matched non-tumour samples using long and short read sequencing to comprehensively benchmark three sequence aligners and six structural variant callers comprised of four generic callers (Sniffles2, cuteSV, SVIM and DELLY in generic mode) and two somatic callers (nanomonsv and DELLY in somatic modes). Results: Different combinations of aligners and variant callers influenced somatic structural variant detection. The choice of caller had a significant influence on somatic structural variant detection in terms of variant type, size, sensitivity, and accuracy. The performance of each variant caller was assessed by comparing to somatic structural variants identified by short read sequencing. When compared to somatic structural variants detected with short read sequencing, more events were detected with long read sequencing. The mean recall of somatic variant events identified by short read sequencing was higher for the somatic callers (64%) than generic callers (52%), with nanomonsv (69%) showing the best performance. Conclusion: Long read sequencing can identify somatic structural variants. The longer reads have the potential to improve our understanding of cancer development and inform personalized cancer treatment.

• Clinical genome sequencing uncovers potentially targetable truncations and fusions of MAP3K8 in spitzoid and other melanomas

  Spitzoid melanoma is a specific morphologic variant of melanoma that most commonly affects children and adolescents and ranges on the spectrum of malignancy from low-grade to overtly malignant. These tumors are generally driven by fusions of ALK, RET, NTRK1/3, MET, ROS1 and BRAF. However, in approximately 50% of cases, no genetic driver has been established. Clinical whole genome and transcriptome sequencing (RNA-Seq) of a spitzoid tumor from an adolescent revealed a novel gene fusion of MAP3K8, encoding a serine−threonine kinase that activates MEK. The patient who had exhausted all other therapeutic options was treated with a MEK inhibitor and underwent a transient clinical response. We subsequently analyzed spitzoid tumors from 49 patients by RNA-Seq and found in-frame fusions or C-terminal truncations in 33% of cases. The fusion transcripts and truncated genes all contained MAP3K8 exons 1-8 but lacked the autoinhibitory final exon. Data mining of RNA-Seq from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) uncovered analogous MAP3K8 rearrangements in 1.5% of adult melanomas. Thus, MAP3K8 rearrangements - uncovered by comprehensive clinical sequencing of a single case - are the most common genetic event in spitzoid melanoma, are present in adult melanomas, and could be amenable to MEK inhibition.

• Whole exome sequencing in multiplex cleft families from a consortium

  Building upon our previous linkage and association studies, we will use whole exome sequencing studies of second and third degree affected relatives drawn from multiplex families. Our specific aims are: 1) To conduct whole exome sequencing on affected members (2° and 3° relatives) drawn from multiplex cleft families from a consortium to identify novel genes causing non-syndromic oral clefts; 2) To confirm and test the role of rare variants in these novel genes through confirmatory Sanger sequencing, plus linkage information using additional members available in these multiplex families. This whole exome sequencing approach will combine evidence from linkage studies and large scale sequencing to identify novel genes causing oral clefts in multiplex cleft families.

• Direct Comparative Analysis of 10X Genomics Chromium and Smart-seq2

  Single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) is widely used for profiling transcriptomes of individual cells. The droplet-based 10X Genomics Chromium (10X) approach and the plate-based Smart-seq2 full-length method are two frequently-used scRNA-seq platforms, yet there are only a few thorough and systematic comparisons of their advantages and limitations. Here, by directly comparing the scRNA-seq data by the two platforms from the same samples of CD45- cells, we systematically evaluated their features using a wide spectrum of analysis. Smart-seq2 detected more genes in a cell, especially low abundance transcripts as well as alternatively spliced transcripts, but captured higher proportion of mitochondrial genes. The composite of Smart-seq2 data also resembled bulk RNA-seq data better. For 10X-based data, we observed higher noise for mRNA in the low expression level. Despite the poly(A) enrichment, approximately 10-30% of all detected transcripts by both platforms were from non-coding genes, with lncRNA accounting for a higher proportion in 10X. 10X-based data displayed more severe dropout problem, especially for genes with lower expression levels. However, 10X-data can better detect rare cell types given its ability to cover a large number of cells. In addition, each platform detected different sets of differentially expressed genes between cell clusters, indicating the complementary nature of these technologies. Our comprehensive benchmark analysis offers the basis for selecting the optimal scRNA-seq strategy based on the objectives of each study.

• Assessment of RNA-Seq Sample Preparation Methodology

  The goal of this study was two-fold, to determine if common purification techniques have any effect on downstream differential expression analysis and to evaluate combinations of alignment and differential expression software for reliability. To this end, blood was collected from three individuals and pooled during and after extraction. After pooling and mixing was completed, samples were divided into three aliquots for testing. The first aliquot was a control and not purified or concentrated. It was diluted to produce samples of varying concentrations for testing. The second aliquot was diluted to 20 ng/μL and used to test six different variations on the AMPure XP bead purification procedure. The last aliquot was also diluted to varying concentrations of 60, 30, and 9.6 ng/μL and purified using MinElute columns. Samples were submitted for total RNA-Seq library preparation and sequencing. Library preparation was performed using the TruSeq Stranded Total RNA with Ribo-Zero Globin kit (20020612, Illumina Inc.), and 2x150 bp PE sequencing was done on an Illumina NovaSeq 6000 with the S4 reagent kit. Comparisons were made between methods (AMPure vs. unpurified, AMPure vs. MinElute, MinElute vs. unpurified) to assess the effects of purification method on downstream differential expression. Comparisons were also made within methods using the varying concentrations tested for unpurified samples and for MinElute purified samples to assess the effects of concentration on differential expression. Variations of the AMPure procedure were also compared to assess the effectiveness of the variations tested in comparison to the unmodified procedure. A subset of samples was selected for use with alignment and differential expression package comparison. Unpurified high concentration samples eluted in RNAse-free water were compared to unpurified high concentration samples eluted in BR5, a buffer from the PAXgene blood miRNA kit, with the expectation that there should be no or very few differentially expressed genes. Unpurified high concentration samples eluted in RNAse-free water were also compared to unpurified low concentration samples also eluted in RNAse-free water, with possibly a small number of differentially expressed genes anticipated. A third dataset of simulated RNA-seq data was created with a known rate of differential expression. These files were aligned using Bowtie2, HISAT2, kallisto, RSEM, Rsubread, Salmon, and STAR. Results were then analyzed for differential expression using ALDEx2, baySeq, DEGseq, DESeq2, edgeR, limma, NOISeq, PoissonSeq, and SAMseq. Differential expression results of all three comparisons were evaluated to determine which combinations provided the most reliable results for both real and simulated data.
