• Utility of Capillary Blood in Gene Expression Studies

  The FAA Functional Genomics Team examined the feasibility of analyzing gene expression profiles using capillary blood collected by fingerstick, with the goal of developing practical fingerstick blood collections to expand blood collection capabilities and allow large-scale or field-based collections. We compared the RNA sequencing results obtained from two different capillary blood collection and RNA extraction methods with the results obtained from a standard venous blood collection and RNA extraction protocol. We also compared capillary blood processing methods, as well as fingerstick locations, within one capillary collection/extraction method. Within each method we sought to distinguish male from female participants to assess the capacity of each collection/extraction method for gene expression profiling. The study population included 40 participants aged 18-60 who were free from any acute illness or any illness that would preclude blood collection. We determined that capillary blood possesses large-scale significant differences from venous blood and that the two capillary methods produced similar gene expression profiles. We further determined that all methods were useful for detecting gene expression differences between assessed groups (male and female participants in this case). We conclude that capillary blood is suitable for gene expression profiling in quantities as low as 100 μL whole blood, but recommend that researchers should rely on a single blood collection method if they desire to compare results between individual studies. Raw sequencing files (.fastq) from this study are available in dbGaP.

• Genomic Profiling of Melanoma

  This study reports on genomic profiling [whole-exome sequencing (WXS), bulk RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), and/or single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq)] of patient-derived melanoma samples and matched normal samples. The goal is to elucidate the genetic and cellular basis of sun-exposed and sun-shielded melanomas and to relate these findings to survival and regional metastasis. Specimens were collected by the Tissue Resource Core of the Yale SPORE in Skin Cancer with participants' informed signed consent according to Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) regulations with a Human Investigative Committee protocol. The melanomas used for sequencing were from fresh or snap-frozen tumors, or from short-term cell cultures. The cell cultures were routinely checked for mycoplasma contamination and were discarded when found positive. Matching normal DNA was from circulating lymphocytes or normal skin. We also include 77 WES-sequenced samples from the Yale Spitzoid neoplasm repository, which collects specimen and data according to a protocol approved by the Yale Human Investigative Committee.

• RNA-Seq and small RNA-Seq of tuberous sclerosis complex cortical tubers and age-matched controls.

  This dataset contains both standard RNA-Seq and small RNA-Seq of TSC related cortical tubers and age matched cortical controls. For the standard RNA-Seq paired-end sequencing was carried out. Each sample was split across multiple lanes. For the files available here the multiple lanes have been merged together, resulting in one forward and one reverse .fastq file for each sample. Small RNA-Seq was carried out on the same samples that underwent standard RNA-Seq. Again paired-end sequencing was carried out. The files here are raw and will need to be undergo quality control and trimming.

• Integrative analysis reveals a macrophage-predominant, immunosuppressive immune microenvironment and subtype-specific therapeutic vulnerabilities in advanced salivary gland cancer

  Background Salivary gland cancers (SGC) are rare and heterogeneous malignant tumors. Advanced SGC lack established treatment options and show poor response to immunotherapy. Here, an integrative multi-omics analysis in a large cohort of advanced SGC revealed insights into the tumor immune microenvironment (TIM) and distinct mechanisms of immune evasion. Methods A total of 104 patients with recurrent/metastatic SGC from the DKTK MASTER program were included in this study. Whole-exome or whole-genome sequencing and RNA-sequencing was performed on fresh frozen tumor tissue. The tumor immune microenvironment was analyzed using CIBERSORT deconvolution analysis and immune gene expression scores in bulk RNA-sequencing data. Single-nuclei sequencing and immunohistochemistry analyses were performed in selected samples. Results were validated in bulk RNA-sequencing data of a previously published independent dataset. Results Bulk transcriptome analysis revealed an immune-deserted TIM in the majority of advanced SGC samples. Immune exclusion was most prominent in adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) subgroup 1 exhibiting a downregulation of the antigen processing machinery. Only a small subset of advanced SGC, including few adenoid cystic carcinoma, exhibited T-cell inflammation, which was correlated with tumor mutational burden in Non-ACC samples. Subtype specific expression of immune checkpoints as well as cancer testis antigens were identified with prominent expression of VTCN1 in luminal cells within ACC. Single-cell RNA-sequencing and bulk RNA-seq deconvolution analysis validated immune cell exclusion and revealed a TIM that was dominated by M2 macrophages across SGC subtypes. Among evaluable patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors, a high T-cell to macrophage ratio was associated with clinical benefit. Conclusions These data support biomarker-based development of immune-checkpoint inhibition and the development of novel immune-checkpoint inhibitors and cellular therapies in SGC.

• Bulk Iso-Seq from brain tissue and exosomes isolated from brain tissue using long-read PacBio sequencing of poly-adenylated transcripts

  Human brain sEVs were isolated from postmortem human brain tissue. RNA was extracted from both the source brain tissue and sEVs and prepared for long-read sequencing. cDNA was sequenced on the PacBio Sequel II. The data provided have undergone processing using the tool ccs (v6.0.0) to generate circula consensus reads. For further processing, it is recommended to follow the guidelines at https://isoseq.how/, starting with using lima to remove cDNA primers.

• Batches 1-3 prostatectomy analysis

  Whole Genome Sequencing Illumina HiSeq data from 95 men with prostate cancer. Samples were taken from primary tissue obtained at prostatectomy (target sequencing depth 50X) with matched blood control (target sequencing depth 30X). This data is from batches 1 to 3 and is the bulk of the data used in Wedge et al, Nature Genetics 2018 (PMID: 29662167). As of September 2020, some of the studies using these data include: Wedge et al, Nature Genetics 2018 (PMID: 29662167) Pan-Cancer Analysis of Whole Genomes, Nature 2020 (PMID: 32025007)
