• Characterization of Cell Free Plasma Methyl-DNA From Xenografted Tumors to Guide the Selection of Diagnostic Markers for Early-Stage Cancers

  Circulating cell-free methyl-DNA (mcfDNA) contains promising cancer markers but its low abundance and possibly diverse origin pose challenges toward the accurate diagnosis of early stage cancers. By whole-genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) from about 0.5 mL plasma of mice xenografted with human tumors, we obtained and aligned the reads to the human genome, filtered out the mouse and carrier bacterial sequences, and confirmed the tumor origin of methyl-cfDNA (mctDNA) by methylation-sensitive restriction enzyme digestion prior to species-specific PCR. We estimated that human tumor-specific reads (ctDNA) or mctDNA comprised about 0.29 or 0.01%, respectively of the xenograft mouse cfDNA, and about 0.029 or 0.001% of the cfDNA of human early stage cancer patients. Similar WGBS of early stage (0-II, node- and metastasis-free) breast, lung or colorectal cancer samples identified hundreds of specific DMRs (differentially methylated regions) compared to healthy controls. Their association with tumourigenesis was supported by stage-dependent methylation, tumor suppressor or oncogene clusters, and genes also identified in the xenograft samples. Using 20 three-cancer-common and 17 colorectal cancer-specific DMRs in combination (top 0.0018% of the WGBS methylation clusters) was sufficient to distinguish the stage I colorectal cancers from breast and lung cancers and healthy controls. Our data thus confirmed the tumor origin of mctDNA by sequence specificity, and provide a selection threshold for authentic tumor mctDNA markers toward precise diagnosis of early stage cancers solely by top DMRs in combination.

• Targeted sequencing data for various human bulk tissues

  To estimate the contribution of early embryogenic cell lineages in adult tissues, we performed deep targeted sequencing on 379 bulk tissues from various organs of the five individuals (DB3, DB6, DB8, DB9, DB10). Of the 441 early embryonic mutations targeted, 411 mutations could have high-quality baits designed for them. DNA libraries were prepared by SureSelectXT Library Prep Kit (Agilent), hybridized to the appropriate capture panel, multiplexed on flow cells, and subjected to paired-end sequencing (150-bp reads) on the NovaSeq 6000 platform (Illumina) with a mean ~2,900x depth of coverage for the early mutations. Sequence reads were trimmed and mapped to the human reference genome (GRCh37) using the BWA-MEM algorithm.

• WTS and WES of Renal Cell Carcinoma Tumors From a Phase III Anti-Angiogenic Adjuvant Therapy Trial

  Archival de-identified formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded RCC tumor tissue blocks from nephrectomy or tumor biopsy were processed as per below and the same sections were used for both DNA and RNA extractions. For WES (ACE version 3; Illumina NovaSeq), samples were profiled using Personalis ACE Cancer Exome (Personalis, Inc, Menlo Park, CA) Whole-transcriptome profiles were generated by RNA-seq (Accuracy and Content Enhanced (ACE) version 3; Illumina NovaSeq) using Personalis ACE Cancer Transcriptome (Personalis, Inc, Menlo Park, CA ) Of the 615 patients in the intent-to-treat population in S-TRAC trial, 193 individual specimens were available for molecular profiling, of which 171 (27.8%) (sunitinib, n = 91; placebo, n = 80) returned results for the WES analysis, and 133 (21.6%) (sunitinib, n = 72; placebo, n = 61) returned results for the GES analysis. Of the 138 WTS samples with data, replicates for two patients were summarized by median expression, and three samples were excluded from the final analysis due to low counts.

• Diagnostic utility of whole genome sequencing in adults with B-other acute lymphoblastic leukemia - RNA

  Genomic profiling at diagnosis of B-cell precursor Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (BCP-ALL) in adults is used to guide disease classification, risk stratification and treatment decisions. Patients for which diagnostic screening fails to identify disease defining or risk stratifying lesions are classified as B-other ALL. We screened a cohort of 652 BCP-ALL cases enrolled in UKALL14 to identify and perform whole genome sequencing (WGS) on paired tumor-normal samples. For 52 B-other patients we compared WGS findings to data from clinical and research cytogenetics. WGS identifies a cancer associated event in 51/52 cases, this includes an established subtype defining genetic alteration in 5/52 that were previously missed by standard-of-care genetics. Of the 47 true B-other ALL we identified a recurrent driver in 87% (41).  Complex karyotype by cytogenetics emerges as a heterogeneous group, underlied by distinct genetic alterations associated with either favorable (DUX4-r) or poor outcomes (MEF2D-r, IGK::BCL2). For a subset of 31 cases, we integrate findings from RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis to include fusion gene detection, and classification by gene expression. Compared to RNA-seq, WGS was sufficient to detect and resolve recurrent genetic subtypes, however RNA-seq can provide orthogonal validation of findings. In conclusion, we demonstrate that WGS can identify clinically relevant genetic abnormalities missed by standard-of-care testing and identify leukemia driver events in virtually all cases of B-other ALL.

• Tracking the evolution of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma under dynamic immune selection by multi-omics sequencing

  Intratumoral heterogeneity (ITH) has been linked to decreased efficacy of clinical treatments. However, although genomic ITH has been characterized in genetic, transcriptomic and epigenetic alterations are hallmarks of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), the extent to which these are heterogeneous in ESCC has not been explored in a unified framework. Further, the extent to which tumor-infiltrated T lymphocytes (TILs) are directed against cancer cells, but how the immune infiltration acts as a selective force to shape the clonal evolution of ESCC is unclear. In this study, we perform multi-omic sequencing on 186 samples from 36 primary ESCC patients. Through multi-omics analyses, it is discovered that genomic, epigenomic, and transcriptomic ITH are underpinned by ongoing chromosomal instability. Based on the RNA-seq data, we observe diverse levels of immune infiltrate across different tumor sites from the same tumor. We reveal genetic mechanisms of neoantigen evasion under distinct selection pressure from the diverse immune microenvironment. Overall, our work offers an avenue of dissecting the complex contribution of the multi-omics level to the ITH in ESCC and thereby enhances the development of clinical therapy.

• hereditary BrEAst Case CONtrol study (BEACCON)

  The BEACCON study aimed to address the lack of power of previous studies to identify novel BC predisposition genes by performing extensive sequencing in 12,000 women (11,511 analysed following exclusions) and further enhancing power by using an ‘extreme phenotype’ design with enrichment of familial non-BRCA1 and BRCA2 cases, compared with a control population of older women with ongoing confirmation of cancer-free status at June 2019. Three-quarters of the 1303 candidate genes screened were selected based on empiric evidence from local (69 multi-case BC families) or international whole exome sequencing studies, and the remainder were included to provide detailed coverage of functional pathways with established associations with BC.

• Molecular risk stratification in patients with T1 colorectal cancer_WES

  The introduction of bowel cancer screening has led to a significant increase in the proportion of patients being diagnosed with asymptomatic, early-stage colorectal cancer (CRC). Although the majority of these patients are successfully treated with surgery alone, a small proportion of patients have 'born-to-be-bad' aggressive lesions with early dissemination leading to distant metastases. Current standard of care histological assessment is unable to distinguish between these aggressive versus non-aggressive early lesions which is essential to provide appropriate clinical management decisions. This study aims to carry out molecular and histological profiling of approximately 300 T1 CRCs in order to develop a molecular stratifier based on the risk of relapse in early-invasive CRC. This novel T1 cohort will represent the world's largest molecularly characterised T1 cohort of samples, with digital pathology assessment alongside whole exome sequencing, copy number variation analysis and 3' RNA-seq. This data will be used to generate a robust panel of molecular and/or histological markers applicable to formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) archival tissue which discriminates between T1 lesions based on risk of relapse, which will ultimately be used to inform clinical management of CRC at the earliest stages of the disease.

• Mutational signatures of environmental carcinogens in human tissue organoids

  Whole genome sequencing of human tumours has revealed distinct patterns (signatures) of mutations that provide clues to the causative origins of cancer. Some signatures have been attributed to endogenous processes, some to exogenous agents, while a substantial proportion are of unknown origin. Generation of mutational signatures induced in experimental systems can verify the signature assignments and shed light on their origins and mechanisms. We have investigated mutational signatures of environmental carcinogens in human tissue organoid cultures. These 3-dimensional systems retain some of the architecture and functions of the organs from which they are derived, affording the opportunity to observe the effects of carcinogens in both target and non-target organs. There was a lesser requirement for an exogenous metabolizing system, as the cultures were, in most cases, capable of activating test agents. Duplex sequencing eliminated PCR amplification errors from mutational profiles and removed the need to clone carcinogen-treated cultures. Gastric, colon, liver, pancreas and kidney organoids were exposed to benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), aristolochic acid (AAI) and 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP). All four agents induced single-base substitution (SBS) signatures, BaP and AAI induced double-base substitution (DBS) signatures and indel (ID) signatures, and PhIP also induced an ID signature. These signatures were the same in all five organoid types, although there were quantitative differences. A further 13 environmental carcinogens were investigated in human gastric organoids, and signatures were obtained for seven of them: ethylnitrosourea (ENU), methylazoxymethanol acetate (MAM), N-methyl-N′-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MMNG), potassium bromate, glycidamide, styrene oxide and propylene oxide, providing additional insights into processes underlying the causes of human cancer.

• Single cell characterization of T-cell lymphoma: RNA (2025-07-31)

  Lymphomas are types of blood cancer derived from lymphocytes, and can be classified into two main categories, Hodgkin's lymphomas (HL) and non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL). T-cell lymphoma is a type of NHL that develops from T lymphocytes and accounts for 10-15% of total NHL cases. As a rare disease, T-cell lymphoma is functionally, pathologically, and clinically complex and heterogeneous. The 2016 revision of the WHO classification has listed 29 subtypes of mature T/NK-cell neoplasms, among which over 25 are T lymphocyte in origin. These subtypes of T-cell lymphomas have different biological behaviours and clinical prognosis. Clinically, T-cell lymphoma ranges from indolent (slow-growing) to aggressive (fast-growing and spreading) disease. According to the guideline booklet provided by the Lymphoma Research Foundation (https://lymphoma.org/aboutlymphoma/nhl/), indolent T-cell lymphoma subtypes include adult T-cell leukaemia/lymphoma (ATLL), cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL), and mycosis fungoides (MF), while the aggressive subtypes include anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL), peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL), and T lymphoblastic lymphoma (TLBL). PTCL and ALCL represent the most common subtypes of aggressive T-cell lymphoma whereas TLBL is a rare and aggressive subtype mostly diagnosed in children. In this study, we will use single cell RNA sequencing and single cell multiomic methods three aggressive T-cell lymphoma subtypes (ALCL, PTCL and TLBL) and try to gain a deeper insight into the genotypic and phenotypic features of these T-cell lymphomas. . This dataset contains all the data available for this study on 2025-07-31.

• Ancestry and somatic profile predict acral melanoma origin and prognosis – RNA

  Acral melanoma, which is not ultraviolet (UV)-associated, is the most common type of melanoma in several low- and middle-income countries including Mexico. Latin American samples are significantly underrepresented in global cancer genomics studies, which directly affects patients in these regions as it is known that cancer risk and incidence may be influenced by ancestry and environmental exposures. To address this, we characterise the genome and transcriptome of 123 acral melanoma tumours from 92 Mexican patients, a population notable because of its genetic admixture. Compared with other studies of melanoma, we found fewer frequent mutations in classical driver genes such as BRAF, NRAS or NF1. While most patients had predominantly Amerindian genetic ancestry, those with higher European ancestry had increased frequency of BRAF mutations and a lower median number of structural variants. The tumours with activating BRAF mutations have a transcriptional profile more similar to cutaneous non-volar melanocytes, suggesting that acral melanomas in these patients may arise from a distinct cell of origin compared to other tumours arising in these locations. KIT mutations were found in a subset of these tumours, and quadruple wild-type samples (non BRAF/NRAS/NF1/KIT) differed from mutated samples in their structural genomic profile and overall and recurrence-free survival patterns. Transcriptional profiling defined three expression clusters; these characteristics were associated with recurrence-free and overall survival. We highlight potential novel low-frequency drivers, such as PTPRJ, NF2 and RDH5. Our study enhances knowledge of this understudied disease and underscores the importance of including samples from diverse ancestries in cancer genomics studies.

• H3K27ac ChIP-seq in primary inflammatory macrophages from 2 minor allele homozygotes and 2 major allele homozygotes at rs2836882

  This dataset consists of H3K27ac ChIP-sequencing in inflammatory (TPP) macrophages from 2 minor allele homozygotes and 2 major allele homozygotes at rs2836882. Monocytes were positively selected from PBMC using CD14 Microbeads and inflammatory macrophage differentiation performed using conditions that model chronic inflammation (TPP): 3 days GM-CSF (50ng/mL) followed by 3 days GM-CSF, TNFa (50ng/mL), PGE2 (1mg/mL), and Pam3CSK4 (1mg/mL). After harvesting, cells were cross-linked, quenched, lysed, and sheared. Immunoprecipitation of histone-DNA complexes was performed overnight at 4C with rotation using an anti-H3K27ac antibody and the SimpleChIP Plus Sonication ChIP kit (Cell Signaling Technology). Following reverse cross-linking, 50ng of immunoprecipitated DNA or input DNA were used to prepare sequencing libraries using the iDeal Library Preparation kit (Diagenode), according to manufacturer instructions. 10 PCR cycles were used for the amplification step and size selection was not performed. The quality and molarity of all libraries was assessed using a BioAnalyzer 2100 (Agilent) and the libraries were sequenced in pools of 8, with each pool being sequenced in 2 lanes of an Illumina HiSeq2500 high output flow-cell (50bp, single-end reads). Raw data are provided as raw and aligned single-end sequencing reads from H3K27ac-bound DNA and the input chromatin. Raw reads were trimmed using Trim Galore and aligned to the reference human genome (hg19) using Burrows-Wheeler Aligner (v0.7.12) with default parameters. Aligned reads were converted to BAM files, sorted, and technical duplicates merged before indexing – all using SAMtools (v1.4). PCR duplicates were identified using Picard tools (v2.18.1) and removed together with unmapped reads using SAMtools (v1.4). The resulting BAM files were re-sorted and indexed after filtering.
