• Cardiogenics_Custom_Pools - Agilent SureSelect

  The Cardiogenics re-sequencing study will consist of three parts: Eight pools of 25 individuals will be sequenced using a Nimblegen hybrid-capture solution specific to miRNA sequences, 80 pools of 25 individuals will be sequenced using a custom Agilent SureSelect array covering genes associated with coronary artery disease (CAD) and myocardial infarction (MI), 10 individuals from families with a history of CAD/MI will be exome sequenced using the Sanger exome array. The experiment will use the early onset patients from the German MI cohort and the UK BHF CAD/MI cohort both of which have strong family history. For controls we will consider individuals from the UKBS and KORA cohorts.

• PRDM9 loss of function follow up from Born-in-Bradford Autozygosity sequencing

  In the autozygosity exome sequencing of Born-in-Bradford samples of Pakistani origin there is a mother who is homozygous for an apparent truncating stop codon in PRDM9, the gene responsible for localising recombination during meiosis. We plan to deep sequence mother and child with X10, and physically phase the mother with PacBio sequencing. We will use this data to identify recombination locations, and test whether these are consistent with the known fine scale recombination map. Data Access is controlled by the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute DAC and the Born In Bradford Executive Group.

• Exome sequencing of Congenital Heart Disease families Royal Brompton

  This project aims to study at least 90 exomes from families with congenital heart disease. The samples have been selected at the Royal, Brompton Hospital in collaboration with Stuart Cook and Piers Daubeney. Ethic approval has been sought for in the UK and a HDMMC agreement for submitting these samples is in place at the WTSI. The phenotype we wil primarily focus our analysis is severe Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstructions (LVOTO) and Atrioventricular Septal Defect (AVSD). The indexed Agilent whole exome pulldown libraries will be sequenced on 75bp PE HiSeq (Illumina).

• 4 subjects, 12 brain regions, UKBEC

  Brain samples for this dataset were provided by the Medical Research Council Sudden Death Brain and Tissue Bank (Edinburgh, UK). All four individuals sampled were of European descent, neurologically normal during life and confirmed to be neuropathologically normal by a consultant neuropathologist using histology performed on sections prepared from paraffin-embedded tissue blocks. Twelve regions of the central nervous system were sampled from each individual. The regions studied were: cerebellar cortex, frontal cortex, temporal cortex, occipital cortex, hippocampus, the inferior olivary nucleus (sub-dissected from the medulla), putamen, substantia nigra, thalamus, hypothalamus, intralobular white matter and cervical spinal cord.

• Native American Ancient DNA sequencing

  The morphology of the first humans in the Americas (Paleoamericans) differs from that of Native Americans, and has raised the question of whether or not there are also differences in origin or genetics. A few populations who survived until relatively recently have been suggested to retain Paleoamerican morphology. One of these populations is from La Jolla. Here, we have generated genome sequence data from four La Jolla individuals in order to investigate these questions This data is part of a pre-publication release. For information on the proper use of pre-publication data shared by the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute (including details of any publication moratoria), please see http://www.sanger.ac.uk/datasharing/

• RNA-seq of iPSC-derived hepatocyte-like cells

  We performed RNA-seq on polyA-enriched mRNA isolated from the original liver biopsy tissue (Liver tissue), primary liver cells (PLC), hepatocyte-like cells (HLCs) differentiated from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), and iPSCs. RNA libraries were prepared using the Illumina TruSeq Stranded mRNA Sample Preparation protocol (ref. RS-122-2101, Illumina, San Diego CA, US) and sequenced using the Illumina HiSeq2500 platform following the manufacturer’s protocol. Samples were sequenced in paired-end mode to a length of 2x76 base pairs. Images from the instrument were processed using the manufacturer’s software to generate FASTQ sequence files.

• Identification of drug resistance genes in cancer cell lines by insertional mutagenesis

  Our aim is to identify genes involved in resistance to anti-cancer therapies. In order to do this we have taken advantage of a lentiviral vector (LV)-based insertional mutagen to mutagenize cancer cell lines. LV-transduced cell lines were then treated with anti-cancer therapies and the emergence of resistant clones scored. DNA from pools of resistant clones was collected, subjected to custom capture by baits designed against the LV sequence, and then sequenced to identify the LV-genomic junction. We hope that the identification of recurrently targeted genes in resistant cell population will allow us to identify genes that mediate drug resistance.

• Genomic Evolution of Breast Cancer Metastasis and Relapse

  Recurrent breast cancer is almost universally fatal. We characterize 170 patients locally relapsed or distant metastatic cancers using massively parallel sequencing. We identify that the relapse-seeding clone disseminates late from the primary tumor. TP53 and AKT1 appear to be enriched in ER-positive cancers predisposed to relapse. Mutation acquisition continues at relapse as the same mutation signatures continue to operate and new signatures, such as that caused by radiotherapy appear de novo. In 49% of cases we identify drivers mutations private to the relapse and these are sampled from a wider range of cancer genes, including SWI-SNF complex and JAK-STAT signaling.

• Targeted NGS panel

  The mutational status of 121 genes recurrently altered in B-cell lymphoma was examined in 55 of 56 diagnostic and 10 of 12 relapse samples using a custom targeted NGS panel. Libraries were generated from 150 ng of DNA using molecular-barcoded library adapters (ThruPLEX Tag- seq kit; Takara) coupled with a custom hybridization capture-based method (SureSelectXT Target Enrichment System Capture strategy, Agilent Technologies). The quality of the libraries was determined using the Bioanalyzer high sensitivity DNA kit (Agilent) and quantified by PCR using the KAPA library quantification kit (KAPA Biosystems). Finally, the libraries were pooled and sequenced in the MiSeq instrument (Illumina).
