• RNA sequencing in blood samples of cluster headache patients

  Cluster headache is a relatively rare headache disorder, typically characterized by multiple daily, short-lasting attacks of excruciating, unilateral (peri-)orbital or temporal pain associated with autonomic symptoms and restlessness. To better understand the pathophysiology of cluster headache, we used RNA sequencing to identify differentially expressed genes and pathways in whole blood of patients with episodic (n = 19) or chronic (n = 20) cluster headache in comparison with headache-free controls (n = 20). Blood samples were subjected to globin reduction before sequencing.

• A_compendium_of_mutational_signatures_due_to_environmental_exposures

  Analysis of mutational signatures caused by exposure to known mutagens in human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. A reference human iPS cell-line will be exposed to 100 chemicals known or proposed to be mutagenic. Following exposure to mutagen, cells will undergo a period of recovery before sub clones are generated and sequenced. The progenitor “parental” IPS cell-line will be used to generate reference sequence data, in order to determine the mutational signatures acquired as a result of exposure to different mutagens.

• Investigation of mutational signatures associated with DNMT3A deficiency (2019-04-03)

  Mutational signatures have been shown to be attributable to specific genetic contexts, such as mutations in DNA repair genes. DNMT3A is a DNA methyltransferase that helps maintain the DNA methylation pattern in a site-specific manner and may participate in DNA repair or the stress response. We have identified an adult individual who is a germline mosaic for a DNMT3A mutation. We have obtained clonal lymphoblastoid cells (LCLs) from the subject representing both WT and mutant lines grown in the same individual for >50 years. These clones represent a unique opportunity to examine the mutational impact of the DNMT3A mutation in a well-controlled setting. Our goal is to perform WGS on whole blood, representing the pool, as well as several WT and several mutant clones, in order to investigate the contribution of DNMT3A to mutation rates and signatures. . This dataset contains all the data available for this study on 2019-04-03.

• Lung cancer organoids addition

  Organoids are self-organizing 3D structures grown from stem cells that recapitulate essential aspects of organ structure and function. Here we describe a method to establish long-term culture conditions of human airway epithelial organoids that contain all major cell populations and allow personalized human disease modelling. We collected macroscopically inconspicuous lung tissue from non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients undergoing medically indicated surgery and isolated epithelial cells to engineer 3D organoids. We exploit the potential to derive sub-clones from AOs to demonstrate the feasibility of CRISPR gene editing. Finally, we show that AOs readily allow modelling of viral infections such as RSV and for the first time demonstrate the possibility to study neutrophil-epithelium interaction in an organoid model. Taken together, we anticipate that human AOs will find broad applications in the study of adult human airway epithelium in health and disease.

• 16S-based fecal microbiota composition

  The dataset reports the 16S rRNA gene sequencing of the fecal microbiota of donors from the Milieu Intérieur Cohort. The Milieu Intérieur cohort includes a total of 1,000 healthy individuals of western European ancestry, recruited in France as part of the Milieu Intérieur project. To assess their fecal microbiota composition, 16S rRNA profiles were generated from stool samples of 863 of the 1,000 donors. Human stool samples were produced at home no more than 24 hours before the scheduled medical visit and collected in a double-lined sealable bag maintaining strict anaerobic conditions. Upon reception at the clinical site, the fresh stool samples were aliquoted and stored immediately at -80°C. DNA was extracted from stool and barcoding PCR was carried out using indexed primers targeting the V3-V5 region of the 16S rRNA gene. Equal volumes of normalized PCR reaction were pooled and thoroughly mixed. The amplicon libraries were sequenced on Illumina MiSeq.

• RNA-seq FASTQ files from newborn screening dried blood spot samples

  Paired-end RNA-seq FASTQ files from 21 newborn screening dried blood spot (DBS) samples. These DBS samples were obtained from extremely low gestional age newborns, where 10 of them were affected by a fetal inflammatory response (FIR) before birth, and 11 were unaffected. Total RNA was sequenced using an Illumina NextSeq-500 instrument. The sample preparation protocol included the depletion of rRNA and globin mRNA using the Globin Zero Gold rRNA Removal Kit from Illumina. Libraries were prepared using the NebNext Ultra TM II Directionl RNA LIbrary Prep Kit (New England Biolabs). Each sample was sequenced in 4 lanes, leading to 8 FASTQ files per sample and a total of 21x8=168 FASTQ files. There is an additional number of 8 FASTQ files corresponding to sample BS13, which was downsampled to 1/4 of its original depth (see BS13_README file for details).

• Functional genomics approaches to understand osteoarthritis (2019-08-01)

  The aim of this work is to apply an integrated systems approach to understand the biological underpinnings of large joint (hip and knee) osteoarthritis which culminates in the need for total joint replacement (TJR). We will obtain diseased and non-diseased cartilage as well as other disease-relevant tissue following TJR, coupled with a blood sample. We will generate genotype data and will characterise the pairs of diseased and non-diseased tissue samples in terms of methylation, transcription (RNASeq) and expression (quantitative proteomics). We will apply integrative approaches to combine information across the omics levels to characterise genes, pathways, and networks that underlie osteoarthritis progression. This data is part of a pre-publication release.

• Conserved interferon-gamma signaling and decreased immune exclusion programs in responses to immune checkpoint blockade therapy_CM38-DNA

  We analyzed baseline and on-therapy tumor biopsies from 101 patients with advanced melanoma treated with nivolumab (anti-PD-1) alone or combined with ipilimumab (anti-CTLA-4). Analysis of whole transcriptome data showed that T cell infiltration and interferon-gamma signaling signatures corresponded most highly with clinical response to therapy, with a reciprocal decrease in cell cycle and WNT signaling pathways in responding biopsies. Clinical outcome differences were likely not due to differential melanoma cell responses to interferon-gamma, as 57 human melanoma cell lines exposed in vitro to this cytokine showed a conserved interferon-gamma transcriptome response unless they had mutations that precluded signaling from the interferon-gamma receptor. Therefore, the magnitude of the antitumor T cell response and the corresponding downstream interferon-gamma signaling are the main drivers of clinical response or resistance to immune checkpoint blockade therapy.

• Profiling molecular heterogeneity in human primary microglia

  In the brain the cells that control inflammation are called a type of white blood cell called microglia. Microglia are located throughout the brain and spinal cord and account for 10–15% of all cells found within the brain. As the resident white blood cells, they are the main active immune defence in the central nervous system (CNS). Microglia are part of an important class of cells known as macrophages that have two main states: M1 and M2. M1 cells are pro- inflammatory, leading to more inflammation, while M2 are anti-inflammatory, and drive wound healing. In this study, we will collect primary microglia from surgical biospies of 100 individuals. This data is part of a pre-publication release.

• Whole genome sequencing in prime-edited human organoids

  We performed whole genome sequencing to detect possible off-target mutations induced by prime editing. Liver organoids, derived from a healthy control, were transfected with either control (GFP) plasmids or prime editing plasmids (GFP+PE2+pegRNA+nickRNA) to induce a 6-bp deletion in CTNNB1. One control and two prime-edited organoid lines were clonally expanded from single cells. High-throughput sequencing was performed on the complete genomic DNA isolated from these clonal lines, as well as the starting culture (bulk). After correction for germline mutations in the starting culture, new mutations in the control and prime-edited lines were compared. The same approach was followed in small intestinal organoids, derived from a patient with disease-causing 3-bp deletion in DGAT1. In these small intestinal organoids, prime editing was used to insert the 3 missing nucleotides. Two corrected clones were compared to one control clone.

• BAM files of total RNA-Seq data of POPS control samples (GRCh37)

  Placental biopsies (n = 64 female placentas, n = 67 male placentas) were selected from healthy pregnancies from the POPs cohort. A quality control process was also applied for the RNA-Seq datasets: reads were trimmed with Trim Galore!, which uses cutadapt internally and were mapped to the same version of human genome reference (hg19). TopHat2, a splice-aware mapper built on top of Bowtie2 short-read aligner, was used in the mapping process in which so-called two-pass (or two-scan) alignment protocol was applied to rescue unmapped reads from the initial mapping step. In the second mapping, previously unmapped reads were re-aligned to the exon-intron junctions detected in the first-mapping by TopHat2 and were combined across all 131 placenta samples. The initial and second mapped reads were merged by samtools

• Smart-seq 2 single cell sequencing of CD4 and CD8 T cells from the blood and synovial fluid of 4 psoriatic arthritis patients.

  This dataset was used to characterise T cell gene expression and clonality at sites of active inflammation within the joints of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) patients, and to compare these results with T cells from the peripheral blood of those same patients. Freshly sorted CD45RA negative CD3+CD4+ and CD3+CD8+ single cells from four patients were individually flow sorted into 96-well full-skirted plates (Eppendorf) containing 10µL of a 2% Dithiothreitol (DTT, 2M Sigma-Aldrich), RTL lysis buffer (Qiagen) solution. Cell lysates were sealed, mixed and spun down before storing at -80 ºC. Paired-end multiplexed sequencing libraries were prepared following the Smart-seq 2 protocol using the Nextera XT DNA library prep kit (Illumina). A pool of barcoded libraries from four different plates were sequenced across two lanes on the Illumina HiSeq 2500.

• Combinatorial CRISPR screen identifies fitness effects of paralogues FAM50A and FAM50B

  Genetic redundancy has evolved as a way for human cells to survive the loss of genes that are single copy and essential in other organisms, but also allows tumours to survive despite having highly rearranged genomes. In this study we CRISPR screen 1,191 gene pairs, including paralogues and known and predicted synthetic lethal interactions to identify 105 gene combinations whose co-disruption results in a loss of cellular fitness. 27 pairs influence fitness across multiple cell lines including the paralogues FAM50A/FAM50B, two genes of unknown function. Silencing of FAM50B occurs across a range of tumour types and in this context disruption of FAM50A reduces cellular fitness whilst promoting micronucleus formation and extensive perturbation of transcriptional programmes. This dataset includes CRISPR screening of cancer cell lines, RNA sequencing studies of cancer cell lines and also data from the sequencing of tumour xenografts collected from mice.

• The mutational landscape of human somatic and germline cells

  During the course of a lifetime normal human cells accumulate mutations. Here, using multiple samples from the same individuals we compared the mutational landscape in 29 anatomical structures from soma and the germline. Two ubiquitous mutational signatures, SBS1 and SBS5/40, accounted for the majority of acquired mutations in most cell types but their absolute and relative contributions varied substantially. SBS18, potentially reflecting oxidative damage, and several additional signatures attributed to exogenous and endogenous exposures contributed mutations to subsets of cell types. The mutation rate was lowest in spermatogonia, the stem cell from which sperm are generated and from which most genetic variation in the human population is thought to originate. This was due to low rates of ubiquitous mutation processes and may be partially attributable to a low cell division rate of basal spermatogonia. The results provide important insights into how mutational processes affect the soma and germline.
