• Patterns of transcription factor programs and immune pathway activation define four major subtypes of SCLC with distinct therapeutic vulnerabilities

  Despite molecular and clinical heterogeneity, small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is treated as a single entity with predictably poor results. Using tumor expression data, we applied non-negative matrix factorization, which identified four SCLC subtypes defined largely by differential expression of transcription factors ASCL1, NEUROD1, and POU2F3 or low expression of all three transcription factor signatures accompanied by an Inflamed signature (SCLC-A, N, P and I, respectively). The presence of these subtypes were then validated in tumor gene expression data from the IMpower133 clinical trial.

• Whole exome sequencing on Pediatric MDS patients

  WES was performed on 126 cases (SAMD9/9Lmut: 64/67; GATA2mut 24/35, MDS wildtype 38/471) using SureSelect Human All Exon V6 enrichment (Agilent, cat# 5190-8863). The generated libraries were sequenced on the Illumina Hiseq 2500 with 150bp paired-end reads. FASTQ files were processed using SeqNext platform (JSI medical system, Germany), with gene-based alignment to a virtual panel of 300 genes consisting of genes relevant to bone marrow failure, MDS predisposition, and hematological cancers as per the Pan-Cancer studies with cohorts of >10,000 cancers. The generated BAM files are submitted here.

• Single-cell DNA sequencing on Pediatric MDS

  Single-cell DNA sequencing with antibody-oligonucleotide staining was performed using the Mission Bio Tapestri single-cell DNA sequencing platform, per the manufacturer’s instructions. All libraries were sized and quantified using an Agilent Bioanalyzer and pooled for sequencing on an Illumina NovaSeq6000 with 150 base-paired ending multiplexed runs. Fastq files generated by the sequencers were processed using the Tapestri Pipeline V2 and included adapter trimming, sequence alignment (BWA), barcode correction, cell finding, and variant calling (GATK v4/Haplotypecaller). FastQ files are provided for the 5 samples that were processed using the aforementioned pipeline.

• Benchmarking of ProSolo, a new probabilistic single nucleotide variant caller for single cell DNA sequencing data. This study provides the whole exome sequencing dataset used in this assessment.

  Benchmarking of ProSolo, a new probabilistic single nucleotide variant caller for single cell DNA sequencing data that provides control over the false discovery rate of different single cell events at genomic sites (e.g. alternative allele presence or allele dropout). Here, we provide the newly generated whole exome sequencing data used in assessing ProSolo's performance. It contains whole exome sequencing of: a patient with a constitutional mismatch repair defect (MSH6-) and their parents and siblings, a granulocyte bulk sample and 5 single granulocytes sequenced after whole genome amplification.

• Panbody_nanoseq

  Different cell types within the human body are subject to different endogenous and exogenous exposures which may result in distinct patterns of mutagenesis. In non-clonal tissues, it is difficult to assess these mutational patterns, including the rate at which they occur. This study will examine the mutational rates and signatures operating across a wide range of normal tissues using the nanoseq technology to reliably call variants, irrespective of their clonal composition. Each cell type will be enriched for using laser capture microdissection. This will serve as a reference against which future work on benign and malignant disease entities can be compared.

• COVID_19_UK_CIC_Spatial

  Understanding the immune response to SARS-CoV-2 is critical to our ability to control the coronavirus pandemic. Spatial transcriptomics will be performed on COVID-19 post-mortem tissues in collaboration with the UK - Coronavirus Immunology Consortium (UK-CIC). UK-CIC encompasses a concerted effort by the UK's world-leading immunology community to deliver a co-ordinated and agile national research programme to increase our understanding of how the immune system interacts with SARS-CoV-2. UK-CIC is led by Professor Paul Moss (University of Birmingham) and brings together 20 UK immunology centres of excellence, with support from the British Society for Immunology.

• Genome-wide Ancestry and Demographic History of African-Descendant Maroon Communities from French Guiana and Surname.

  The transatlantic slave trade (TAST) was the largest forced migration in world history. However, the origins of the enslaved Africans and their admixture dynamics remain unclear. To investigate the demographic history of African-descendant Marron populations, we generated genome-wide SNP data (4.3 million markers) from 107 individuals from three African-descendant populations in South America, as well as 124 individuals from six west African populations to complement underrepresented African data sets. Our study sheds additional light on the demographic consequences of the TAST and illustrates how genetic data can complement historical sources.

• T-cell reconstitution after reduced dose ATLG induction in kidney transplant recipients

  Pre-sensitized kidney transplant recipients have a higher risk for rejection following kidney transplantation and therefore receive a lymphodepletional induction therapy with anti human T-lymphocyte globulin (ATLG). The time course of lymphocyte reconstitution with regards to overall and donor-reactive T-cell receptor (TCR) specificity remains elusive. In this study we aimed to describe the TCR repertoire in a reduced dose ATLG regimen making it possible to evaluate shifts in the shape of the immune repertoire and to detect the reappearance of donor-reactive T-cells following reduced lymphodepletional induction therapy.

• Paediatric_and_adult_nasal_RNAseq___COVID19

  Understanding infectivity, progression and disease severity of COVID-19 in children. Understanding infectivity, progression and disease severity of COVID-19 in children: It has been observed that COVID-19 infection appears to present with reduced clinical severity and prevalence within children (<18 years) compared to adults. This project as part of a national collaborative initiative seeks to answer this question. 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/

• Pathogenic Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) RNA splicing resolved by targeted RNAseq

  Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is caused by loss-of-function variants in the NF1 gene. Approximately 10% of these variants affect RNA splicing and are either missed by conventional DNA diagnostics or are misinterpreted by in silico splicing predictions. Therefore, a targeted RNAseq-based approach was designed to detect pathogenic RNA splicing and associated pathogenic DNA variants. an in-house developed tool (QURNAS) was used to calculate the enrichment score (ERS) for each splicing event. RNA enrichment of NF1 and SPRED1 was done using SPET (NUGEN - NF1 only) and using SureSelect (Agilent - NF1 and SPRED1).
