• Whole-genome bisulfite sequencing analysis of low-grade astrocytomas in the ICGC PedBrain Tumor Project

  Pilocytic Astrocytoma (PA) is the most common pediatric brain tumor. While genome and transcriptome landscapes are well-studied, data of the complete methylome, tumor cell composition and immune infiltration are scarce. We generated whole genome bisulfite sequence data (WGBS) of nine PAs to find evidence for a link of focal methylation differences and differential gene expression to immune infiltration.

• Proteotranscriptomic classification and characterization of pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms

  Pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (PNENs) are biologically and clinically heterogeneous neoplasms. We used a multi-omics approach to uncover the molecular factors underlying this heterogeneity and derive a potential disease classification. Transcriptomic analysis of 84 primary PNEN specimens, drawn from two cohorts (n = 36 and 48), identified four subgroups with distinct molecular profiles. Whole-exome sequencing revealed subgroup-enriched mutational differences.
