• Human four week embryo head as reference for generating an enhancer compendium for neuronal and neural crest development using neural tube organoids.

  This study has the aim of generating an enhancer code compendium of early human neuronal and neural crest development. For this purpose, we generated human neural tube organoids from single cells from two induced pluripotent stem cell lines. The organoids were subject to combined single cell multiomics at four time points of differentiation. To evaluate the biological relevance of the cell types and states obtained from the organoids, we compared with data obtained from 10XGenomics single cell multiomics on the head of a single four weeks post conception human embryo.

• Changes in AXL and/or MITF melanoma subpopulations in patients receiving immunotherapy

  Our data demonstrate large interpatient variability and variable therapy-induced changes independent of the type of therapy. We identify the presence of previously described AXL+ and MITF+ subpopulations in metastatic tissues both at the mRNA level and in situ at the protein level, and demonstrate that MITF+ melanoma cells are significantly decreased upon immunotherapy, while AXL+ melanoma cell numbers are stable. MITF+ tumor cells showed the most significant inverse correlation with CD8+ T cells. Our patient cohort also shows that immunotherapy-induced changes in the abundance of AXL+ or MITF+ tumor cells did not correlate with improved survival.

• Single cell transcriptomics of human kidney organoid endothelium reveals vessel growth processes and arterial maturation upon transplantation

  Human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived kidney organoids have potential for disease modeling and regenerative medicine purposes. However, they lack a functional vasculature in in vitro culture. Here, we transplanted kidney organoids at day 7+12 of differentiation in the coelomic cavity of chicken embryos. We then compared human endothelial cells from transplanted organoids to their respective untransplanted controls at d7+13 and d7+20 using scRNAseq. We demonstrate metabolic and phenotypic effect of transplantation with increased endothelial cell proliferation and differentiation to a fetal-like renal arterial/afferent arteriolar phenotype.

• Multi-omic analyses from a randomized phase II study of epigenetic priming followed by nivolumab in previously treated metastatic non-small cell lung cancer

  Emergence of resistance to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) mandates the development of strategies for ICB sensitization. We aimed to understand the effects of epigenetic priming in re-shaping the tumor microenvironment, together with molecular drivers of therapeutic response of epigenetic therapy followed by ICB in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC; NCT01928576). This was done through a multi-omic approach encompassing both genomic and transcriptomic analyses. Findings suggest that epigenetic therapy may reshape the tumor microenvironment towards a more inflamed phenotype and prime responses to immunotherapy.

• Feasibility study of enzymatic methylation sequencing of cell-free DNA from cerebrospinal fluid of pediatric brain tumors for classification

  Array-based DNA methylation profiling is the gold standard for molecular classification of brain tumors. However, it relies on significant amount of input DNA extracted from surgical tissue, thus limiting its use for tumors where biopsy is challenging or limited in quantity. Cell-free tumor DNA (cfDNA) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) presents alternative opportunities for brain tumor diagnosis and disease monitoring following treatment. Novel enzymatic DNA methylation sequencing (EM-seq) methods may allow us to overcome input DNA limitations and accurately quantify methylation from cfDNA for tumor classification.

• scRNA seq and scTCR seq data from 5 melanoma patients

  The Chromium Controller and Chromium X platfor of 10X Genomics were used for single cell partitioning and barcoding. Each cell's transcriptome was barcoded during reverse transcription, pooled cDNA was amplified and Single Cell 5' Gene Expression (GEX), V(D)J and Feature Barcode (FB) Libraries were prepared according to the manufacturer's protocols (CG000330 and CG000331, 10X Genomics). All libraries were quantified and normalized on library QC data generated on the Bioanalyzer system according to manufacturer's protocols (G2938-90321 and G2938-90024, Agilent Technologies). Based on the expected target cell counts, a balanced library sub-pool of samples was compsed for SC5'GEX, V(D)J and FB libraries. Library sub-pools were quantified by qPCR, accodring to the KAPA Library Quantification Kit Illumina(R) Platforms protocol (KR0405, KAPA Biosystems). Based on qPCR results a final sequencing pool was composed. Paired end sequencing was performed on a NovaSeq 6000 Instrument (Illumina) using NovaSeq 6000 Reagent Kits v1.5 100 cycles (cat. no. 20028401, 20028319, 20028316 Illumina), using 28 cycles for Read 1, 10 cycles for Read i7, 10 cycles for Read i5 and 90 cycles for Read 2.

• M116 scRNA-seq

  scRNA-seq was performed using Chromium Next GEM Single Cell 3’ Kit v3.1 (10X Genomics) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Briefly, M116's PBMCs were thawed and quantified in order to calculate the number of cells to be loaded. Then, barcoded Single Cell 3ʹ Gel Beads, a master mix containing PBMCs, and Partitioning Oil were combined onto the Chromium Next GEM Chip G to generate Gel Beads-In-Emulsion (GEMs), where polyadenylated mRNAs were reverse transcribed. This way, all generated cDNAs from the same cell shared a common 10X Barcode. Following the reverse transcription, GEMs were broken and cDNAs were amplified and cleaned up with SPRIselect beads (Beckman Coulter®). Next, a portion of these cDNAs were enzymatically fragmented and subjected to adaptor ligation before using them as a PCR template for the incorporation of i5/i7 indexes. Finally, libraries were purified with SPRIselect beads, quantified and quality checked by using the 2200 TapeStation (Agilent®), and subjected to paired-end 150-bp sequencing (Novaseq systems, Illumina®) following standard practices at external facilities (Novogene®). Files types included in this dataset are raw Fastq files.

• ATACseq - Notch Signaling Maintains a Progenitor-Like Subclass of Hepatocellular Carcinoma

  To assess how Notch inhibition impacts chromatin accessibility and how chromatin changes relate to HNF4A and CEBPA activities, we performed Assay-for-Transposase-Accessible-Chromatin (ATAC) sequencing of LIV78 tumors, 72 hours after treatment with NOTCH2 blocking or control antibodies. Our TF activity and chromatin analyses thus lead to a model in which Notch inhibition leads to increased expression of CEBPA, thus enabling CEBPA to partner with HNF4A to jointly drive transcriptional programs and the underlying chromatin rearrangements that promote differentiation of progenitor-like tumor cells to a mature hepatocyte fate incompatible with tumor growth and maintenance.

• Correction of the cytosine deamination artifacts in FFPE-based sequencing experiments

  Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples are widely used in research and diagnostics, but cytosine deamination during fixation introduces sequencing artifacts, particularly C>T substitutions, which complicate reliable mutation detection. In this study, we systematically evaluated five computational methods and an enzymatic repair approach for FFPE artifact removal, as well as their combined application, using a custom dataset based on whole exome sequencing. Our results demonstrate that while computational strategies improve data quality, the enzymatic approach provides the most effective artifact correction. The study provides guidelines for both computational and enzymatic artifact correction strategies for reliable downstream analyses.

• ABHD11 inhibition drives sterol metabolism to modulate T cell effector function and alleviate autoimmunity

  Chronic inflammation in autoimmunity is driven by hyperactive T cells with dysregulated metabolism. ABHD11 is a mitochondrial hydrolase that supports alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase function and has been associated with remission in rheumatoid arthritis. To explore its role in T cell function, we used CRISPR/Cas9 to knock down ABHD11 in Jurkat T cells and performed RNA-Seq analysis. Differential gene expression revealed widespread transcriptional changes, with sterol-related pathways among the most significantly enriched. These findings highlight ABHD11 as a potential regulator of metabolic programming in T cells with implications for autoimmunity.

• Single-nuclei histone modification profiling of the adult human central nervous system unveils epigenetic memory of developmental programs

  We profile the adult human CNS from distinct regions, sex and ages, for chromatin accessibility at the single-nuclei level. Tissue was collected from 20 different donors (10 male, 10 female) within the ages of 34 to 74 years old. Additionally we performed Single-cell nanoCUT&Tag H3K27ac and H3K27me3 profiling for 4 of the donors and multiome single cell assay (RNA-seq+ATAC-seq) for 2 of the donors. Each donor donated fresh frozen white matter from the following three tissue regions: primary motor cortex (Brodmann area 4, BA4), arbor vitae cerebelli (CB) and fasciculi cuneatus and gracilis from and cervical spinal cord (CSC). Tissue was processed semi-randomly, ensuring that each batch of experiments had a representation of both sexes and all three tissue regions. Completed libraries were again randomly multiplexed during sequencing to minimize batch effects. We also performed micro-C,2 replicates, of iPS human derived cell cultures of human oligodendrocyte precursor cells (hOPC).

• A non-canonical lymphoblast in refractory childhood T-cell leukaemia

  Refractory cancers may arise either through the acquisition of resistance mechanisms by cancer cells or represent distinct diseases. The origin of childhood T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (T-ALL) that does not respond to initial treatment, i.e. refractory disease, is unknown. Refractory T-ALL carries a poor prognosis and cannot be predicted at diagnosis. Here, we performed single cell mRNA sequencing of T-ALL from children who did or did not respond to initial treatment. We identified a transcriptionally distinctive blast population, exhibiting features of innate-like lymphocytes, as the major source of refractory disease.

• Aberrant expression of SLAMF6 constitutes a targetable immune escape mechanism in acute myeloid leukemia

  In this study, we demonstrate that aberrant expression of SLAMF6 on acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells serves as a novel immune escape mechanism that can be inhibited by antibodies against the SLAMF6 dimerization site. This constitutes a novel mechanism of checkpoint inhibition, which paves the way for immunotherapy in AML and other SLAMF6-expressing cancers. This study utilizes single cell sequencing data from the AML cell line HNT-34 co-cultured with normal T cells, with and without antibody targeting SLAMF6, as well as single cell data of 38 primary AML samples.

• WES analysis of paired tumor and non-tumoral DNA of 4 patients with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer

  We performed WES of tumor DNA and non-tumoral DNA (extracted from PBMC) of 4 patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer, who after the tumor resection went on to receive BCG treatment as they had high-risk disease. In order to identify tumor-specific mutations that could give rise to patient-specific neo-epitopes, we performed paired WES of tumor and non-tumoral DNA for each patient. For patient UC2, 3 different tumors were resected at the same time and DNA from these 3 tumors were sent separately for WES.

• Whole genome sequencing data of paediatric KMT2A-rearranged acute lymphoblastic leukemia

  Pediatric KMT2A-rearranged leukemia is an aggressive subtype of leukemia commonly seen in infants (less tha 1 year old) and young children. It involves rearrangements of the KMT2A gene (formerly MLL) on chromosome 11q23, resulting in fusion genes that drive uncontrolled cell growth. This subtype is most often found in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and is associated with a poor prognosis. In infants, the 5-year event-free and overall survival rates are around 35–40%. Despite intensive chemotherapy, outcomes remain challenging, prompting ongoing research into targeted therapies and novel treatment strategies.

• B cell activation

  To investigate the gene programs involved in B cell activation and antibody switching, we profiled the gene expression at the single cell level as well as the antibody repertoire of human naive and memory B cells at resting and following three time points of activation. Through CRISPR perturbations, we defined IRF4 as a central regulator of both GC and plasma cell fates, acting independently of PRDM1 in GC commitment. Finally, leveraging machine learning classification methods trained solely on transcriptomic profiles, we accurately predicted sister cell relationships, revealing that plasma cell gene expression programs are heritable and tightly conserved within a clone.
