• AfricanNeo aDNA Study

  With the largest genomic dataset to date of Bantu-speaking populations, including newly generated data of modern-day and ancient DNA from previously unsampled regions in Africa, we shed fresh light on the expansion of peoples speaking Bantu languages that started ~4000 years ago in western Africa. We have generated whole-genome sequences from 12 Late Iron Age individuals. Our comprehensive genetic analysis of the expansion of people speaking Bantu languages reveals a complex history of serial founder events, variable levels of contact with local groups, and spread-over-spread events.

• Long-read whole genome sequencing as a tool for variant detection in inherited retinal dystrophies

  Advances in whole-genome sequencing (WGS) have significantly enhanced our ability to detect genomic variants underlying inherited diseases. In this study, we performed long-read WGS on 24 patients with inherited retinal dystrophies (IRDs) to validate the utility of nanopore sequencing in detecting genomic variations. We confirmed the presence of all previously detected variants and demonstrated that this approach allows for precise refinement of structural variants (SVs). Furthermore, we could perform genotype phasing by sequencing only the probands, confirming variants were inherited in trans. Moreover, nanopore sequencing enabled the detection of complex variants, such as transposon insertions and structural rearrangements. This comprehensive assessment illustrates the power of long-read sequencing in capturing diverse forms of genomic variation and in improving diagnostic accuracy in IRDs.

• Encompassing view of spatial and single-cell RNA-seq renews the role of the microvasculature in human atherosclerosis

  Atherosclerosis is a pervasive contributor to ischemic heart disease and stroke. Despite the advance of lipid lowering-therapies and antihypertensive agents, the residual risk of an atherosclerotic event remains high and developing therapeutic strategies has proven challenging. This is due to the complexity of atherosclerosis with a spatial interplay of multiple cell types within the vascular wall. Here we generate an integrative high-resolution map of human atherosclerotic plaques combining single-cell RNA-seq from multiple studies and spatial transcriptomics data from 12 human specimens, with different stages of atherosclerosis. We show cell-type and atherosclerosis-specific expression changes and spatially constrained alterations in cell-cell communication. We highlight the possible recruitment of lymphocytes via ACKR1 endothelial cells of the vasa vasorum, the migration of vascular smooth muscle cells towards the lumen by transforming into fibromyocytes, and cell-cell communication in the plaque region, indicating an intricate cellular interplay within the adventitia and the subendothelial space in human atherosclerosis.

• Single-cell RNA sequencing of control and Notch inhibitor treated HCC PDX model

  We generated single-cell RNA-seq data for anti-Notch2 (n=3), anti-JAG1 (n=1) and anti-gD (n=4) treated LIV78 tumors. NCR nude mice bearing similarly sized LIV78 tumors (volumes between 300-900mm3) were injected intravenously with 30mg/kg body weight of either anti-Notch2, anti-Jag1 or anti-gD control antibody 72hrs prior to tumor harvest and tumor cell isolation. Following the depletion of CD45+ and Ter119+ cells, the samples were processed for single-cell RNA-seq (scRNAseq) as described previously (Long et al., 2019) using the Chromium Single Cell 3’ Library and Gel bead kit v2, following the manufacturer’s manual. cDNAs and libraries were prepared following the manufacturer’s manual (10X Genomics). Libraries were profiled by Bioanalyzer High Sensitivity DNA kit (Agilent Technologies) and quantified using Kapa Library Quantification Kit (Kapa Biosystems, Wilmington, MA). Each library was sequenced in one lane of HiSeq 2500 (Illumina) following the manufacturer’s sequencing specification (10X Genomics) to produce the resulting FASTQ files.

• Synthetic - FEGA Sweden Heilsa synthetic dataset December 2023

  Synthetic - This submission contains a subset of a synthetic dataset derived from the project Heilsa Tryggvedottir - a Nordic collaboration on sharing sensitive human data. Heilsa Tryggvedottir is funded by the Nordic e-Infrastructure Collaboration (NeIC), the ELIXIR nodes of Finland, Norway, and Sweden, Computerome in Denmark, and the Estonian Scientific Computing Infrastructure (ETAIS). In the synthetic data creation process, it was attempted to strike a fine balance between the usability of the datasets (e.g. technical FEGA development, testing, user training, and basic bioinformatics) and compliance with GDPR. File names and file content (e.g. headers in fastq) are anonymized. Moreover, the X, Y, and mitochondrial sequences have been discarded from the original data since these data can be used for maternal, paternal, or ethnic origin tracing. The dataset does not follow natural haplotype distribution (inherent to imputation panels). The only inputs derived from real sequence data are variant distribution density per chromosome and learning sequencing error models. The synthetic dataset consists of two fastq files, a cram file, a vcf file, and two index files.

• The mutational landscape of normal human endometrial epithelium

  All normal somatic cells are thought to acquire mutations. However, characterisation of the patterns and consequences of somatic mutation in normal tissues is limited. Uterine endometrium is a dynamic tissue undergoing cyclical shedding and reconstitution lined by a gland-forming epithelium. Whole genome sequencing of normal endometrial glands showed that most are clonal cell populations derived from a recent common ancestor, with mutation burdens differing from other normal cell types and many fold lower than endometrial cancers. Mutational signatures found ubiquitously account for most mutations. Many, in some women all, endometrial glands are colonised by cell clones carrying driver mutations in cancer genes, often with multiple drivers. Total and driver mutation burdens increase with age, but are also influenced by other factors, including body mass index and parity, and clones with drivers often originate during early decades of life. The somatic mutational landscapes of normal cells differ between cell types and are revealing the procession of neoplastic change leading to cancer.

• 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.

• Extensive three-dimensional intratumor proteomic heterogeneity revealed by multiregion sampling in high-grade serous ovarian tumor specimens

  Enriched tumor epithelium, tumor-associated stroma, and whole tissue were collected by laser microdissection from thin sections across spatially separated levels of ten high-grade serous ovarian carcinomas (HGSOCs) and analyzed by mass spectrometry, reverse phase protein arrays, and RNA sequencing. Unsupervised analyses of protein abundance data revealed independent clustering of an enriched stroma and enriched tumor epithelium, with whole tumor tissue clustering driven by overall tumor “purity.” Comparing these data to previously defined prognostic HGSOC molecular subtypes revealed protein and transcript expression from tumor epithelium correlated with the differentiated subtype, whereas stromal proteins (and transcripts) correlated with the mesenchymal subtype. Protein and transcript abundance in the tumor epithelium and stroma exhibited decreased correlation in samples collected just hundreds of microns apart. These data reveal substantial tumor microenvironment protein heterogeneity that directly bears on prognostic signatures, biomarker discovery, and cancer pathophysiology and underscore the need to enrich cellular subpopulations for expression profiling.

• The effect of freezing delay of cell-type specific transcriptome responses in human brain via snRNA-seq

  In other analysis in the current manuscript, we find a similar gene signature (to dissociation based artifacts in mouse and human tissue) is present in post-mortem microglia and astrocytes, across all snRNA-seq datasets analyzed, although it is highly variable between subjects. ​ Using acutely-resected neurosurgical tissue, we performed single-nucleus RNA-seq and reveal that a similar signature can be detected in microglia following prolonged exposure to room temperature. Tissue handling and methods details, as well as sequencing and analysis details) can be found in the methods section of related manuscript (Marsh et al., 2022). Together, these results suggest that the presence of this signature in post-mortem brain samples may be the result of a combination of acute pre-mortem (agonal state, cause of death, comorbidities, etc.) and post-mortem (post-mortem interval (PMI), storage time, RNA quality, etc.) variables and may not represent normally present cell state.

• Comparison of single/pooled CTCs and bulk exome sequencing

  Single cell technologies allow the interrogation of tumor heterogeneity, providing insights into tumor evolution and treatment resistance. To better understand whether circulating tumor cells (CTCs) could complement metastatic biopsies for tumor genomic profiling, we characterized 11 single CTCs and 10 pooled CTC samples at the mutational and copy number aberration (CNA) levels, and compared these results with matched synchronous tumor biopsies from 3 metastatic breast cancer patients with triple-negative (TNBC), HER2-positive and estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) tumors. Similar CNA profiles and the same patient-specific driver mutations were found in bulk tissue and CTCs for the HER2-positive and TNBC tumors, whereas different CNA profiles and driver mutations were identified for the ER+ tumor, which presented two distinct clones in CTCs defined by mutations in ESR1 Y537N and TP53, respectively. Furthermore, de novo mutational signatures derived from CTCs described patient-specific biological processes. These data suggest that tumor tissue and CTCs provide complementary clinically relevant information to map tumor heterogeneity and tumor evolution.

• Convergent somatic evolution from early life in a germline ribosomopathy

  Clonal tracking of stem cells and their progeny by whole genome sequencing permits exploration of evolutionary genetics in human disease. In this study, we performed phylogenetic reconstruction of haematopoiesis using somatically acquired mutations in 323 single haematopoietic stem and progenitor cell-derived colonies from 10 individuals with an inherited disorder of ribosome assembly, Shwachman-Diamond syndrome. We observed numerous clonal expansions, with recurrent acquisition of mutually exclusive mutations (EIF6, TP53, RPL5, RPL22, PRPF8, chromosomes 7 and 15) in multiple different clones in utero or early childhood converging on the p53-dependent nucleolar surveillance pathway that monitors ribosome integrity. In contrast to clones carrying biallelic TP53 mutations, genomes derived from colonies carrying mono-allelic TP53 mutations displayed no increase in mutation burden or specific mutational signatures. Our study highlights striking loss of clonal diversity with convergent somatic evolution on the p53-dependent nucleolar surveillance pathway from early life to offset the deleterious effects of a germline mutation in a Mendelian haematopoietic disorder.

• Familial breast cancer targeted sequencing with ONT

  A large cohort of 600 cases with familial breast cancer as classified by the Spanish Society of Medical Oncology (SEOM) Clinical Guidelines Update that were recruited during 6 years at Hospital Universitario Morales Meseguer (Murcia, Spain) were retrospectively evaluated to select 16 cases with no positive finding in NGS analysis of 20 genes implicated in this disease. These 16 cases were selected for further investigation using nanopore sequencing. This method involved the use of adaptive sampling enrichment, targeting a panel of 18 human genome regions, which contained the 20 genes (PTEN, ATM, BRCA2, PALB2, CDH1, TP53, NF1, RAD51D, BRCA1, RAD51C ,BRIP1, STK11, CHEK2, EPCAM, MSH2, MSH6, BARD1, MLH1, PMS2, NBN). In 5 samples (P1, P2, P4, P15 and P16) no selection of long reads was performed. Additionally, in 3 samples (P7, P9 and P10), both procedures were performed in two independent runs, and for the second run of P7, the DNA was previously fragmented using g-TUBE Covaris® (ref 520079) according to the protocol for 6 kb fragments.

• NEOPREDICT-Lung: longitudinal whole exome sequencing of non-small cell lung cancers under immunotherapy

  In 43 patients pretreatment tumor biopsies, resected tumors and normal tissue of sufficient quality and quantity were obtained to longitudinally explore the mutational profiles of a comprehensive set of cancer-related genes. For tumor samples, one to four FFPE sections (10 µm thickness, number depending on sample size) were lysed for genomic DNA isolation. Isolation was performed semi-automatically on the Maxwell purification system (Maxwell RSC DNA FFPE Kit, AS1450, Promega) as specified by the manufacturer. DNA was eluted in 50 µl RNase-free water and quantified fluorescently for library preparation using a Qubit 2.0 fluorometer (Life Technology) with its appertaining DNA broad-range assay. Corresponding normal DNA was isolated from blood or PBMCs using routinely available QIAGEN technology. DNA was stored at -20°C before use. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) was performed using the Twist Human Core + RefSeq + Mitochondrial Panel (Twist Bioscience), and 2 x 100 bp fragment sizes were sequenced using a NovaSeq6000 (Illumina). Demultiplexing of sequenced reads was achieved using bcl2fastq (version 2.2).

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

  Refractory cancers may arise either through the acquisition of resistance mechanisms or represent distinct disease states. 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 perform single cell mRNA sequencing of T-ALL from 58 children (84 samples) who did, or did not respond to initial treatment. We identify a transcriptionally distinctive blast population, exhibiting features of innate-like lymphocytes, as the major source of refractory disease. Evidence of such blasts at diagnosis heralds refractory disease across independent datasets and is associated with survival in a large, contemporary trial cohort. Our findings portray refractory T-ALL as a distinct disease with the potential for immediate clinical utility. This dataset contains 56 single-cell RNA sequencing data files with corresponding single-cell T cell receptor sequencing data files. The data here form the validation cohort in our paper.

• Gene expression QTL mapping in stimulated iPSC-derived macrophages

  Immune cells sense and respond to external stimuli, initiating an inflammatory response, with genetic variants potentially altering these responses. Traditional QTL mapping often uses naïve cells, missing condition-specific variants detectable post-stimulation. Our study uses a high-throughput platform to map eQTLs across 24 conditions using iPSC-derived macrophages, identifying that 76% of eQTLs in stimulated conditions were also present in naïve cells. We found response eQTLs (reQTLs) vary widely across conditions, with rare single-condition reQTLs being overrepresented among disease-colocalizing eQTLs. This study nominates 21.7% more disease effector genes at GWAS loci through reQTL colocalization, with 38.6% not found in the GTEx catalogue, highlighting the importance of condition-specific regulatory variation in understanding disease risk alleles. Our findings underscore the value of condition-specific studies in elucidating the genetic mechanisms underlying complex diseases. This data is part of a pre-publication release.

• DNMT3A-R882 mutations intrinsically drive dysfunctional neutropoiesis from human haematopoietic stem cells

  Clonal haematopoiesis (CH) arises from the expansion of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) carrying leukaemia-associated somatic mutations. CH is linked to pathological immune dysregulation and a greater risk of age-related inflammatory diseases. Yet, how CH mutations impact HSC differentiation into immune effector cells remains understudied. Here, we report a single-cell resolution functional and multi-omic investigation of HSC clonal and differentiation dynamics in individuals with DNMT3A-R882 CH. DNMT3A-R882 reshapes the clonal architecture of haematopoiesis towards an aged phylogenetic structure. Functionally, DNMT3A-R882 HSCs produce decreased monocytic output but more abundant and mature neutrophil progeny compared to WT HSCs in the same individual. Whereas DNMT3A-R882 myeloid progenitors display attenuated inflammatory transcriptional programmes, DNMT3A-R882 mature neutrophils acquire proinflammatory and immunomodulatory features typical of maladaptive immunity and CH co-morbidities. Our findings, validated in humanised mice, identify aberrant DNMT3A-R882 HSC-driven neutropoiesis as a key link between CH, immune dysregulation and risk of inflammatory disease.

• Mitochondrial DNA sequencing in samples of Huntington’s disease patients

  Mitochondrial dysfunction is found in the brain and peripheral tissues of Huntington’s disease (HD) patients, which connects many pathological features of HD. In this project, we conducted a large-scale study of mtDNA variations with a sensitive mtDNA-targeted sequencing method called STAMP, at a median coverage of 4000-fold, in lymphoblast and blood samples of HD patients. mtDNA sequence variations and copy numbers were compared between samples from HD patients and healthy control individuals, and were assessed in relation to HD stages, and changes of HD phenotypes in longitudinal samples.

• Analyzing the expression profiles of genes in ureters with and without indwelling stents using RNAseq 

  The objective of the work is to explore the pathways and mechanisms driving inflammation and fibrosis in stented ureters. In total, 6 pigs underwent cystoscopic unilateral ureteral stent insertion for 14 days. Ureteral tissue was harvested in 3 pigs, while the remaining 3 pigs had their stents removed, and were recovered for 7 days. Three separate pigs served as controls. Stents cause significant inflammation and fibrosis of ureters. Gene set enrichment analysis confirmed fibrotic changes and tissue proliferation and suggests that epithelial-mesenchymal transition is a driver of fibrosis.

• Copy-Number Analysis of Understudied Black Women Ovarian Cancers

  Two general types of genetic alterations drive cancer progression: mutations and copy number alterations (CNAs). With the exception of p53, single nucleotide variant mutations (here, simply "mutations") are not drivers of 80% of tumors within the most frequent and deadly histotype of ovarian cancer: serous ovarian cancer (SOC). Rather, CNAs are more prevalent in SOC than any other cancer type studied by phs000178 The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Fully two-thirds of genes are altered by CNAs in the average SOC. Bioinformatic methods have shown that these CNAs modulate specific molecular pathways, such as autophagy, and this finding enabled effective pathway-targeted therapies1. Unfortunately, TCGA ovarian cancer data lacks racial diversity. Only 6% of SOC tumors (n=32) studied are from African origin. Black women diagnosed with ovarian cancer are more likely to die from their disease than white women. Five-year survival after diagnosis is 31% among blacks versus 42% among whites, and this disparity is seen in every age group and tumor stage distribution. Dr. Kelemen examined data from 365 white and 95 black ovarian cancer patients from the Hollings Cancer Center (HCC) Cancer Registry between 2000 and 2015 and found that black women had an 81% higher risk of death after diagnosis compared to white women (HR 1.81, 95% CI 1.35-2.43), independent of diagnosis center (98% were treated at HCC but half were diagnosed elsewhere), tumor stage, histology, extent of residual tumor remaining following surgery, insurance status, smoking, type of treatment for ovarian cancer, and age-adjusted Charlson comorbidity index. This disparity remained even when restricted to women who received the standard of care, surgery-chemotherapy sequence (HR 1.79, 95% CI 1.10-2.89). Despite receiving the same treatment, black race was still associated with inferior survival. A similar disparity has been reported by others, indicating that the HCC experience is representative of national data. Here, an additional set of high-grade serous ovarian cancer primary tumors were acquired from biorepositories with a focus on expanding data originating from African American women. Data were analyzed for copy-number alterations using exome sequencing and control-FREEC software.

• Exome Sequencing of Statin-Induced Myopathy Cases

  Severe myopathic events occur in 0.1-0.5% of patients taking statins. Although genetic association studies have identified some possibly associated gene loci, these have not been reproducible in additional studies with independent patient cohorts. A more reasonable explanation for susceptibility to statin-induced myopathy is the presence of rare pathogenic variants in genes important for skeletal muscle structure and function. In support of this, we have previously reported an increased incidence of pathogenic variants in genes causing metabolic myopathies in patients with statin-induced myopathy (Vladutiu et al.,2006). We also reported a patient with statin myopathy who had an RYR1 variant known to be causative of malignant hyperthermia susceptibility (MHS) (Vladutiu et al., 2011). There are a number of genes associated with metabolic myopathies triggered by various factors such as extreme exercise, fasting, extremes in temperature, viral infection and exposure to volatile anesthetics. In addition, many of the genes causing congenital myopathies, myofibrillar myopathies and muscular dystrophies have overlapping phenotypes with these genes. We propose that statins act as an additional trigger inducing myopathic symptoms and many patients with severe statin-induced myopathy have causative genetic variants within similar genes associated with MHS and congenital myopathy. We have analyzed the resultant data using a disease model in which rare pathogenic variants, possibly within multiple genes, are causative of statin-induced myopathy. In this study, we have identified potentially causative genetic variants in greater than 50% of the statin-induced myopathy cases and in particular, rare and possibly pathogenic in the RYR1 and CACNA1S genes were present in 25% of the patient samples studied.

• Type 1 Diabetes Genetics Consortium (T1DGC): ImmunoChip Study

  The Type 1 Diabetes Genetics Consortium (T1DGC) was formed to address issues of limited sample size and consistency of phenotyping that had limited genetic investigations on risk of type 1 diabetes (T1D). The T1DGC first collected affected sib pair (ASP) families from four geographic networks (Asia-Pacific, Europe, North America, United Kingdom). In addition, T1D cases and controls were ascertained from existing and de novo collections. The T1DGC assembled 2,601 T1D ASP families and 69 Parent-T1D offspring trios, T1D cases from the UK Genetic Resource Investigating Diabetes (UKGRID, N=6,670), and controls from the British 1958 Birth Cohort (B58BC, N=6,523), the UK National Blood Services collection (NBS, N=2,893) and the NIHR Cambridge Biomedical Research Centre BioResource (CBR, N=2,846). All samples included in this series have reported or self-declared European ancestry. All DNA samples were collected after approval from relevant institutional research ethics committees. Genotyping was performed using a custom Illumina Infinium high-density genotyping array, ImmunoChip (Illumina, Inc; CA) according to manufacturer's protocols. The ImmunoChip was designed to densely genotype, using 1000 Genomes and any other available disease specific resequencing data, immune-mediated disease loci identified by common variant GWAS. The ImmunoChip Consortium selected 186 distinct loci containing markers meeting genome wide significance criteria (P<5x10-8) from twelve such diseases (autoimmune thyroid disease, ankylosing spondylitis, Crohn's disease, celiac disease, IgA deficiency, multiple sclerosis, primary biliary cirrhosis, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, T1D and ulcerative colitis). All 1000 Genomes Project pilot phase CEU population variants (Sept 2009 release) within 0.1cM (HapMap3 CEU) recombination blocks around each GWAS region lead marker were submitted for array design. No filtering on correlated variants (linkage disequilibrium) was applied. Additional content included regional resequencing data (submitted by several groups) as well as a small proportion of investigator-specific undisclosed content including intermediate GWAS results. After data cleaning and quality control, a total of 154,939 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from 186 loci on ImmunoChip were scored. Case-control and family data were analyzed independently and combined by meta-analysis.

• Profiling Genome-Wide Circulating ncRNAs for the Early Detection of Lung Cancer

  Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounting for approximately 85% of all cases. Although imaging techniques such as low-dose computed tomography (LDCT), combined with tissue biopsies, have improved early detection rates, current diagnostic approaches are often limited by high false-positive rates, invasiveness, and radiation exposure, which lead to misdiagnosis and increased patient burden. Therefore, there is an urgent need for minimally invasive, accurate, and safe diagnostic biomarkers, particularly those derived from liquid biopsies such as blood-based exosomal RNA.This dataset specifically focuses on plasma-derived exosomal small non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs).A total of 233 de-identified plasma samples were obtained from Rush University Medical Center, including 116 NSCLC patients and 117 non-cancer controls. Exosomes were isolated from plasma, RNA was extracted, and small RNA sequencing was performed using the Illumina NextSeq 500 platform. Data available through dbGaP include individual-level raw sequencing files (FASTQ) and basic phenotype annotations of the plasma cohort.A diagnostic model was initially developed using small RNA-seq data from 1,446 tissue samples obtained from TCGA and GEO, identifying a robust sncRNA signature that distinguished NSCLC from non-cancer samples with an AUC of 0.90 in hold-out tissue validation. This signature was subsequently validated in the plasma exosome cohort, achieving an AUC of 0.84 in independent validation. The model demonstrated consistent diagnostic performance across subgroups stratified by age, sex, smoking history, cancer stage, and NSCLC subtype. Survival and functional analyses further supported the clinical and biological relevance of the identified sncRNAs. It is hoped that this resource will contribute to a better understanding of the sncRNA expression landscape in NSCLC and promote the development of non-invasive biomarkers for early cancer detection. These data may be applied to the investigation of transcriptomic and other risk factors, provide insight into cancer screening, tumor progression mechanisms, and prognosis prediction, and ultimately support precision medicine for NSCLC.
