• DEPArray-based sorting of pure carcinoma and stromal populations from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues followed by targeted sequencing

  To overcome the challenges of low DNA yields, degraded DNA by formalin fixation and diluted signal of genomic aberrations by non-carcinoma components in the heterogeneous FFPE samples, we isolated pure carcinoma and stromal cells using the DEPArray™ NxT system, a microchip-based digital sorter that allows isolation of pure, homogeneous subpopulations of cells from FFPE samples. We isolated pure carcinoma and stromal cell populations from 12 FFPE tissues, including tissues from 9 primary and metastatic breast cancer and 3 primary ovarian high-grade serous carcinomas. This was followed by a targeted panel for somatic mutation and sCNA analysis (7 samples), subject to cell availability. Mutation analysis was performed successfully in 6/7 samples and somatic mutations were detected in all of them.

• Benchmark Dataset for Somatic Mutation Calling in Cell-Free DNA

  This study provides a comprehensive benchmarking resource for somatic variant detection in cell-free DNA (cfDNA) from cancer patients. Longitudinal plasma samples from colorectal and breast cancer cohorts were selected to create patient-matched dilution series spanning ultra-low to high circulating-tumour-DNA (ctDNA) fractions, while preserving each individual’s germline and clonal haematopoiesis background. Deep whole-genome sequencing (150×) and ultra-deep whole-exome sequencing (2,000×) generated a reference call set of ~37,000 single-nucleotide variants and ~58,000 insertions/deletions. These data enabled systematic evaluation of nine somatic variant callers across variable ctDNA levels and sequencing depths, and were further used to explore machine-learning–guided parameter tuning. The resulting dataset offers an openly accessible framework for developers and clinicians to assess and optimize somatic variant calling in liquid biopsy applications.

• Genomic Signatures of Intestinal Metaplasia in Six Countries with Varying Incidence of Stomach Cancer

  Intestinal metaplasia (IM) is a pre-cancerous condition associated with gastric cancer (GC), a deadly malignancy with varying geographic incidence. Performing a genomic analysis of over 1,500 IM samples from six countries, we identified 46 significantly mutated genes. We observed IM driver genes associated with high-risk populations and worse prognosis (ARID1A), members of the KRAS/MAPK signalling pathway (KRAS, BRAF, MAP2K1, MAP3K1, MAP2K4, NF1), and altered mucosal immunity (PIGR).

• Idiopathic Scoliosis (SNP-array & WES study)

  This study aimed to investigate the genetic basis of severe idiopathic scoliosis (IS) using whole exome sequencing (WES) and SNP array methods. We intended to identify structural and point genetic variations contributing to the development of IS. By analyzing intraoperatively collected articular processes (AP) and blood (BL) samples from 70 unrelated individuals with IS, we sought to uncover pathogenic copy number variants (CNVs), regions of homozygosity (ROH), and single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) linked to the condition.

• Dataset for study Genome-wide gene expression analysis following CRISPRi of transposable elements

  Transposable elements (TEs), once regarded as parasitic genomic remnants, are now recognized as key regulators of gene expression and genome evolution, yet the functional specificity of individual TE subfamilies remains largely unexplored. This dataset investigates the transcriptional consequences of targeted repression of MER57E3 and LTR10B2 elements using CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) in human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs). hiPSCs expressing CRISPRi machinery (n = 2 biological replicates) were transduced with guide RNAs targeting individual or grouped copies of MER57E3 and LTR10B2, as well as the ZNF678 promoter or a lacZ non-targeting control. Transduced cells were subsequently differentiated into neural progenitor cells (NPCs), and total RNA was extracted for mRNA library preparation and sequencing. The dataset comprises 24 single-end mRNA-seq FASTQ files generated from these NPCs and wild-type controls.

• Single cell long read whole genome sequencing reveals somatic transposon activity in human brain

  The advent of single cell DNA sequencing revealed astonishing dynamics of genomic variability, but failed at characterizing smaller to mid size variants that on the germline level have a profound impact. In this work we discover novel dynamics in three brains utilizing single cell long-read sequencing. This provides key insights into the dynamic of the genomes of individual cells and further highlights brain specific activity of transposable elements.

• 4 - transcriptome (.bam) files, 2 -called somatic mutations (.vcf) files and 2 coverage (.csv) files

  The dataset contains 4 .bam whole transcriptome files that were generated from 2 tumor samples (one .bam file per sample was created using exome-capture (hybrid capture) and the other .bam file was created using ribo-repletion (inverse mRNA selection) library preparation technology). The dataset also contains 2 somatic mutations (.vcf - sample) files (one per sample) which serve as input for Vardetector package (vardetector/vardetector at main · julijselb/vardetector) to produce somatic coverage over those mutations from the .bam file. Therefore, the dataset also contains 4- .csv files (number of reads per somatic mutation that contain the somatic mutation variant and the ones that do not contain the somatic mutation variant) that serve as outputs of the Vardetector package.

• The cellular state space of AML unveils novel NPM1 subtypes with distinct clinical outcomes and immune evasion properties

  Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a genetically and cellularly heterogeneous disease. We characterized 120 AMLs using bulk genomic and transcriptomic analyses (WES, MP-WGS, RNA-seq), and single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq). Our results reveal an extensive cellular heterogeneity that distorts the bulk transcriptomic profiles. Notably, NPM1 mutated AML could be stratified into two novel, clinically relevant classes (NPM1class I and NPM1class II).

• Profiling the genomic landscape and evolutionary history of polyploid giant cancer cells in undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcomas

  In this study, we characterise PGCCs in ten pleomorphic sarcomas and use topographic single-cell DNA sequencing (scDNA-seq) to investigate their genomic landscape. We selected PGCCs based on their nuclear morphology, including mononucleated or multinucleated bizarre, misshapen nuclei, and analysed them at single-cell resolution. Histopathological analysis showed that PGCCs were often randomly distributed throughout the tumour and did not appear in clusters, suggesting that they arise de novo rather than through clonal expansion. scDNA-seq revealed that PGCCs originate from the dominant tumour population and exhibit extensive copy number heterogeneity, either due to subsequent or ongoing chromosomal instability. Both clonal and subclonal chromothripsis-like events were identified in PGCCs, indicating that chromothripsis is a key driver of heterogeneity in these cells and is linked to multinucleation rather than mononuclear PGCC formation.

• Immune control of functional memory CD8 T cells in normal-appearing vitiligo skin

  This study aimed to characterize immune cell states in nonlesional (NL) and perilesional (PL) skin of patients with vitiligo using single-cell RNA sequencing. Shared CD8⁺ T cell clusters were detected in both regions, with PL-derived cells enriched for immune activation pathways and NL skin showed stronger infiltration of regulatory T cells. These findings reveal functional T cell heterogeneity in vitiligo and highlight regulatory mechanisms that may limit depigmentation in NL skin.

• The origin of post-transplant clonal hematopoiesis can be traced to prenatal development.

  Clonal hematopoiesis (CH), a prevalent and premalignant state in the elderly, can occur in young individuals under selective pressures such as hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). However, the origin of CH and mutational processes underlying CH driver mutations in young individuals remain unclear. Here, we used genome-wide somatic mutation profiles to retrospectively trace the origin of DNMT3A-mutant CH in three individuals, 14-41 years after childhood HCT.

• Hashed data from three immortalized fibroblastic reticular cells (iFRCs)

  Co-culture experiments of primary lymphoid and DLBCL-derived immortalized FRCs (iFRC) followed by scRNA-seq. iFRCs as well as lymphocytes from DLBCL samples (n=3) were harvested after 24h of incubation and different experimental conditions were multiplexed using in-house cell multiplexing oligonucleotides (CMOs; full list of barcodes provided in Table S9). Cells were incubated with CMOs at a final concentration of 1.8 μM for 20 minutes on ice, followed by four washes with PBS (centrifugation at 400 × g for 3 minutes at 4 °C). Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and multiplexing libraries were prepared using the 10x Genomics Single Cell 3′ Gene Expression v4 assay, according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Sequencing was performed on an Illumina NovaSeq 6000 platform using paired-end 100 bp reads on an S4 flow cell.

• Deciphering the aggressive nature of morphoeic basal cell carcinoma

  Morphoeic basal cell carcinoma (mBCC) has a high risk of local recurrence compared to the more indolent nodular subtype reflected by a different set of driver mutations including FLNB and HECTD4. Surrounding mBCC stroma is abnormal, containing mutations such as EPHA3. Hedgehog pathway over-expression is seen in both the tumour and stroma of morphoeic tissue with the latter potentially being partly responsible for its aggressive nature and risk of recurrence.

• Spatial profiling of hepatocellular carcinoma identifies distinct tumor and immune micro-ecosystems related to patient outcomes

  Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) shows substantial intra-tumor heterogeneity that remains poorly understood. Using spatial transcriptomics, we identified 13 recurrent tumor and stromal micro-ecosystems (MES) and mapped their spatial organization and biological functions. One immune-enriched MES containing Kupffer cell–like macrophages was strongly associated with improved disease-free survival and response to atezolizumab–bevacizumab. Our findings demonstrate the value of spatial profiling for revealing rare but clinically meaningful cellular communities.

• Sarcopenia related to Head and Neck squamous cell carcinomas: transcriptome modifications of muscle cells induced by distant malignant cells

  The biological mechanisms of sarcopenia are still very poorly understood, particularly in the case of Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinomas (HNSCC). However, there is good reason to believe that diffusible factors originating from tumor cells exert a distant deleterious effect on muscle cells. To test this hypothesis we implemented a dual approach based both on experiments carried out in vitro and on the study of muscle fragments from patients.
