• Genomics_of_acral_lentiginous_melanoma

  Melanoma is the most aggressive type of skin cancer, causing about 75% of dermatological cancer deaths. Acral lentiginous melanoma (ALM) is the most common subtype of melanoma in admixed Latin American populations, but very few tumour genomes and exomes, all from European-descent individuals, have been analysed across several studies. Because of this, the genomic landscape of ALM is mostly unknown. Our aim in this project is to define this landscape and identify driver somatic alterations by whole-exome sequencing a collection of ALM germline/tumour paired FFPE samples from the National Cancer Institute of Mexico.

• NRG1 Fusions in KRAS Wild-type Pancreatic Cancer (H021)

  We used whole-genome and transcriptome sequencing to identify clinically actionable gene fusions in young adults with KRAS wild-type (KRASwt) pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). These alterations included recurrent NRG1 rearrangements predicted to drive PDAC development through aberrant ERBB receptor-mediated signaling, and pharmacologic ERBB inhibition resulted in clinical improvement and remission of liver metastases in two patients with NRG1-rearranged tumors that had proved resistant to standard treatment. Our findings demonstrate that systematic screening of KRASwt tumors for oncogenic fusion genes will substantially improve the therapeutic prospects for a sizeable fraction of PDAC patients.

• Premalignant SOX2 overexpression in the fallopian tubes of ovarian cancer patients: Discovery and validation studies

  To identify early driver mutations in ovarian cancer cells, we used dense whole genome sequencing of micrometastases and microscopic residual disease collected at three time points from a single patient during treatment for high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC). Laser capture microdissection of tumour islets was performed on samples prior to chemotherapy, after three cycles of chemotherapy and at recurrence. Long frament read whole genome sequencing was performed and mutations were identified. To our knowledge, this is the first longitudinal study that attempts to investigate spatial and temporal micro-heterogeneity in cancer.

• Transcriptome sequencing of intravenous leiomyomatosis and uterine myoma

  Up to now, there are two hypothesis about the pathogenesis of the relationship of intravenous leiomyomatosis and uterine myoma. One theory suggests that the IVL comes from the smooth muscle cell in the vessel wall.The other theory indicates that the IVL derives from the uterine myometrium. However, limited to the technology, few studies have been deeply explore the underlying relation. In this study, we employ the RNA sequencing to explore the molecule relationship between IVL and uterus myoma. In order to identify the molecule relationship between IVl and uterine myoma we conducted transcriptome sequencing and bioinformaitc analysis

• Transcriptome profiling of human plucked frontal and occipital hair follicles

  Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is characterized by a progressive and androgen-dependent loss of hair from the frontal and vertex regions of the scalp. Although large-scale genetic analyses have identified >300 genetic risk factors, the underlying causal genes and pathways, and their involvement in core pathophysiological mechanisms, remain unclear. In the present study, systematic profiling of differential mRNA and microRNA expression was performed in human hair follicle samples from frontal and occipital scalp regions. Taken together, the present data improve understanding of the genomic regions, genes, and pathways that are implicated in AGA pathobiology.

• Identification of hypermutation and defective mismatch repair in ctDNA from metastatic prostate cancer

  DNA mismatch repair defects (MMRd) and tumor hypermutation are rare and under-characterized in metastatic prostate cancer. Furthermore, since hypermutated MMRd prostate cancers can respond to immune checkpoint inhibitors, there is an urgent need for practical detection tools. We analyzed cell-free DNA targeted sequencing data from 434 metastatic prostate cancer patients with circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) purity above 2%. Samples with somatic hypermutation were subjected to 150x whole exome sequencing. These data allowed us to interrogate the salient genomic properties of this rare prostate cancer subtype and correlate findings with patient clinical outcomes.

• Long cell-free DNA molecules in maternal plasma

  We revealed a large population of long cell-free DNA molecules (up to 23,635 bp in length) in maternal plasma and developed an approach which leveraged the abundance of CpG sites on long molecules to deduce the tissue of origin of individual plasma DNA molecules based on single-molecule methylation analysis. We illustrated how such an approach may be utilized to achieve noninvasive prenatal testing of monogenic diseases. We also revealed a reduction in amounts of such long cell-free DNA molecules and a different end motif profile in maternal plasma DNA from pregnancies with preeclampsia.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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).

• Integrative analysis of non-small cell lung cancer patient-derived xenografts identifies unique proteotypes associated with patient outcomes

  Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide. Only a fraction of NSCLC harbour actionable driver mutations and there is an urgent need for patient-derived model systems that will enable the development of new targeted therapies. NSCLC and other cancers display profound proteome remodelling compared to normal tissue that is not predicted by DNA or RNA analyses. We generated NSCLC patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) that recapitulate the histology and molecular features of primary NSCLC. Here, we completed whole exome sequencing on 122 NSCLC PDXs.

• molecular profiles of serum-derived extracellular vesicles in high-grade serous ovarian cancer

  Patients with high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC) who have no visible residual disease (R0) after primary surgery have the best clinical outcomes, followed by patients who undergo neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) and have response enabling interval cytoreductive surgery. Clinically useful predictive biomarkers for such distinctions are still lacking. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been recognized as liquid biopsy-based biomarkers for early cancer detection and disease surveillance in other disease settings. In this study, we performed extensive molecular characterization of serum-derived EVs and correlated them with therapeutic outcomes in patients with HGSC.

• Discovery and capture of novel dynamic DNA methylation in human sperm with preferential links to altered folate metabolism

  The sperm DNA methylation landscape is unique and critical for offspring health. If gamete-derived DNA methylation escapes reprogramming in early embryos, epigenetic defects in sperm may be transmitted to the next generation. Current techniques to assess sperm DNA methylation show bias towards CpG dense regions and do not target areas of dynamic methylation, those predicted to be environmentally sensitive and tunable regulatory elements. Thus, this study aim to assess variation in human sperm DNA methylation and design a targeted capture panel to interrogate the human sperm methylome.

• Subclonal somatic copy number alterations emerge and dominate in recurrent osteosarcoma

  Multiple large-scale genomic profiling efforts have been undertaken in osteosarcoma to define the genomic drivers of tumorigenesis, therapeutic response, and disease recurrence. The spatial and temporal intratumor heterogeneity could also play a role in promoting tumor growth and treatment resistance. Here, we conducted longitudinal whole-genome sequencing of 37 tumor samples from eight patients with osteosarcoma that relapsed or became refractory to initial therapy. We found that the chemoresistant population in recurrent osteosarcoma is subclonal at diagnosis, emerges at the time of primary resection due to selective pressure from neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and is characterized by unique oncogenic amplifications.

  Three technical replicates of FACS-sorted T cells (CD45+CD3+) and one replicate of FACS-sorted tumor cells (MCSP+) were loaded to a targeted 10,000 cells per lane on the 10X Genomics Chromium Controler with the single cell 5’ Immune Repertoire and Gene Expression profiling kit. In total, we loaded ~30,000 individual tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and ~10,000 melanoma cells on the 10X platform (10X Genomics, CA, USA). Reverse transcription, TCR enrichment, and library preparations were performed according to the 10X Genomics 5’ V(D)J protocol revision C. Transcriptome libraries were pooled and sequenced on the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 S2 flow cell with 26 R1, 8 i7, and 91 R2 cycles respectively. The TCR libraries were pooled and sequenced on the Illumina MiSeq V2 150 cycles paired-end. Single cell transcriptomic and TCR data was processed with the 10X Genomics Cell Ranger Pipeline version 2.2.0 with the software-provided GRCh38 reference transcriptomes. After quality control, there was RNAseq profile data available from 6267 immune and 4303 melanoma cells. Downstream processing and visualization was encompassed through Seurat and tSNE plots.

• WES and RNA-seq of triple-negative breast cancers from the MyBrCa cohort

  The dataset contains a genomics characterization of 35 triple-negative Asian breast tumours from the Malaysian Breast Cancer cohort. This includes whole-exome sequencing of tumour tissue at 80X, whole-exome sequencing of matched normal (blood) tissue at 40X, and RNA-seq of tumour tissue at 40X coverage (>15 million reads). Whole-exome libraries were prepared using the Nextera Rapid Capture Exome Kit; exome capture was performed in pools of 3 and subjected to paired end 75 sequencing on a NovaSeq 6000 platform. RNA libraries were prepared using the TruSeq Stranded Total RNA HT kit with Ribo-Zero Gold as per manufacturer’s instructions and also subjected to paired end 75 sequencing on a NovaSeq 6000 platform. Uploaded bam files have been mapped to the hs37d5 human genome and processed using the standard GATK pipelines. Paired clinical, demographic, genotyping, and overall survival data for these patients are available from the associated publications or by request.
