• Targeted panel DNA sequencing of melanomas, nevi and melanocytic tumors

  This dataset was derived from 360 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples distributed across (i) 118 primary melanomas, (ii) 132 nevi and (iii) 110 melanocytic tumors. Next generation sequencing (NGS) libraries were prepared following the FFPE DNA Archer VariantPlex Somatic Protocol for Illumina. Input DNA was determined by the PreSeq DNA QC assay, with 100 ng of DNA used for samples with high quality scores, 200 ng for low quality scores and 300 ng for samples with bad quality scores as defined by the PreSeq DNA QC assay. NGS libraries were quantified using the KAPA Library Quantification Kit for Illumina (KK4824) and sequencing performed on the Nextseq 500/2000 without custom primers using paired-end sequencing (151bp for Read 1 and Read 2) with index reads (8bp for Index Read 1 and Index Read 2). For each sample, resulting paired-end fastq files are available as part of this dataset. Prefix for each sample name is associated with the the type of sample: NAE: nevi samples. MEL: Melanoma samples. BL: melanocytic tumor.

• SweGen genetic variation from the Swedish Twin Registry

  The dataset contains files with single nucleotide variants in VCF format for a total of 942 DNA samples, selected to represent a cross-section of the Swedish population. The samples originate from the Swedish Twin Registry (STR) and have been obtained from different geographical regions. For each of the 942 individuals, DNA was extracted from a blood sample and subject to whole genome sequencing (WGS). The WGS was performed using 2x150 bp paired-end chemistry on Illumina HiSeq X Ten instrumentation at the SciLifeLab National Genomics Infrastructure (NGI) in Stockholm and Uppsala. FASTQ files generated by WGS were analyzed using the nf-core pipeline Sarek, which includes pre-processing, alignment to the human GRCh38 reference genome, and germline variant calling. All participants gave their written informed consent and the TwinGene study was approved by the regional ethics committee (Regionala Etikprövningsnämnden, Stockholm, dnr 2007-644-31, dnr 2014/521-32). Access to phenotypic information can be requested from the Swedish Twin Registry (http://ki.se/en/research/the-swedish-twin-registry).

• Shared disease specific B cell clones in Crohn’s disease

  We performed deep sequencing of the B cell receptor (BCR) repertoire in four cohorts of patients with Crohn’s disease (CD) together with healthy and disease controls. Using sequence homology, we identified BCR clones that were shared between patients with CD but not found in healthy individuals nor in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC), indicating CD-associated B cell immune responses. Shared clones were present in inflamed gut mucosa, draining intestinal lymph nodes and blood, suggesting the presence of common CD-associated antigens that drive B cell responses in CD patients.

• Spatial Transcriptomic Analysis (Xenium in situ) of Large Cell Neuroendocrine Carcinoma

  Lung LCNEC (Large Cell Neuroendocrine Carcinoma) has a poor prognosis, and no effective treatment has yet been established. We have discovered that LCNEC exhibits highly heterogeneous distribution of proteins such as neuroendocrine markers and YAP1 within the tumor. We hypothesize that this heterogeneity may be responsible for the variability in chemotherapy effectiveness and treatment resistance among LCNEC patients. Therefore, by using Xenium to analyze gene expression in greater detail along with tumor morphology, we aim to identify new characteristics of LCNEC and explore potential treatment strategies.

• Exome Sequencing of familial and sporadic Meniere disease patients

  This study aims to characterize the genetic architecture of spanish patients diagnosed with Meniere disease (MD), focusing on both familial (FMD) and sporadic (SMD) forms, by analyzing coding variants. Whole-exome sequencing was performed on these patients, and variants were called and annotated using the nf-core/sarek bioinformatics pipeline, including alignment to the GRCh38 reference genome. The resulting data provide a curated resource for investigating the potential genetic contribution to the pathophysiology of MD. All data will be made available for reuse under controlled access.

• Identification of new molecular targets with profiling of malignant mesothelioma

  Aims: Malignant mesothelioma which is associated with asbestos exposure is highly aggressive and refractory to conventional therapeutic modalities. The aim of this study is identification of new targets for molecular target therapy by next generation sequencing and application of the genomic data to new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for malignant mesothelioma patients. Methods: We extracted genomic DNAs from surgical specimens or established mesothelioma cell lines from Japanese malignant mesothelioma patients. We also extracted control DNAs from peripheral blood of the same patients. We performed whole exome sequencing using these DNAs.

• Nanopore whole-genome sequencing of sample RK067 and variant-call data (SNVs and intermediate-sized deletions) of 174 Japanese samples.

  We performed whole-genome sequencing of a human samples using Oxford Nanopore MinION sequencer, so as to be able to establish methods to detect and identify structural variations in Japanese individuals. Intermediate-sized deletions were identified from 174 Japanese samples��� short-reads whole-genome sequencing data. Variant call information of these intermediate-sized deletions were joined with SNVs identified in a previous study (Fujimoto, A et al., Nat Genet, 2016) to create a reference panel for use in imputation.

• WES of Mino-VEN-R Mantle Cell Lymphoma Cells

  This project investigates the genetic basis of therapy resistance in mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) using whole exome sequencing (WES) of the Mino_VEN_R cell line, a model of resistance to pirtobrutinib, a non-covalent BTK inhibitor. Our study suggested that drug-tolerant persister (DTP) cells evade therapy through metabolic and phenotypic reprogramming. By analyzing the exome profile of resistant cells, this study aims to identify mutations associated with treatment escape and cellular plasticity. The findings will contribute to a better understanding of resistance mechanisms and support the development of more effective therapeutic strategies.

• Whole genome sequencing of colon organoid cultures with artificially induced oncogenic mutations

  Using the CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing system, various oncogenic mutations were introduced in the genome of normal adult stem cells derived from the colon. The resulting clonal cultures were subjected to whole genome sequencing. In addition, the cultures were transplanted in a mouse and the resulting primary and metastatic tumors were also subjected to whole genome sequencing. The initial bulk culture, which was used to generate the mutations, was also whole genome sequenced and served as a reference sample to filter germline variants.

• Detecting PKD1 variants in Polycystic Kidney Disease patients by single-molecule long-read sequencing

  A genetic diagnosis of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is challenging. However, long-read single-molecule sequencing has been shown to be a reliable alternative strategy that could overcome PKD1 complexities. Using long-read sequencing to characterize a cohort of 19 patients with ADPKD, we developed an approach that provided high sensitivity in identifying PKD1 pathogenic variants, with a diagnostic yield of 94.7%. Reliable screening of ADPKD patients in a single test without interference of PKD1 homologous sequences is now possible.

• ALPI deficiency and inflammatory bowel disease

  Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) are complex and severe disorders ascribed to alterations in the dialogue between the microbiota and the host immune system (Bouma & Strober, 2003; Maloy & Powrie, 2011). By using whole‐exome sequencing (WES), we report the identification of compound heterozygous ALPI mutations in two unrelated patients displaying severe intestinal inflammation and autoimmunity. ALPI encodes the Intestinal alkaline phosphatase, a brush border metalloenzyme that catalyses phosphate hydrolysis of the lipid moiety of LPS and thereby drastically reduces LPS pro‐inflammatory activity (Schromm et al, 1998; Goldberg et al, 2008).

• KIR gene content imputation from single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the Finnish population

  The killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) gene cluster on chromosome 19 encodes cell surface glycoproteins that bind class I human leukocyte antigen (HLA) molecules as well as some other ligands. KIR gene gene copy number variation associates with the outcome of transplantations and susceptibility to immune-mediated diseases. Here we describe a stand-alone and freely available gene content imputation for 12 KIR genes. The models were trained using 818 Finnish biobank samples genotyped for 5774 KIR-region SNPs and analysed for KIR gene content with targeted sequencing.
