• Genome, epigenome and RNA sequences of monozygotic twins discordant for multiple sclerosis

  Monozygotic (MZ) twins have been widely employed for dissection of the relative contributions of genetics and environment in disease. In multiple sclerosis (MS), an autoimmune demyelinating disease that commonly causes neurodegeneration and disability in young adults, disease discordance in MZ twins has been interpreted to indicate environmental importance in pathogenesis. However, genetic and epigenetic differences between MZ twins have been described, challenging the accepted experimental paradigm in disambiguating effects of nature and nurture. Here, we report the genome sequences of one MS-discordant MZ twin pair and messenger RNA (mRNA) transcriptome and epigenome sequences of CD4+ lymphocytes from three MS-discordant, MZ twin pairs. No reproducible differences were detected between co-twins among ~3.6 million single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) or ~0.2 million insertion-deletion polymorphisms (indels). Nor were any reproducible differences observed between siblings of the three twin pairs in HLA haplotypes, confirmed MS-susceptibility SNPs, copy number variations, mRNA and genomic SNP and indel genotypes, or expression of ~19,000 genes in CD4+ T cells. Only two to 176 differences in methylation of ~2 million CpG sites were detected between siblings of the three twin pairs, in contrast to ~800 differences in methylation between T cells of unrelated individuals and several thousand differences between tissues or normal and cancerous tissues. In the first systematic effort to estimate sequence variation among MZ co-twins, we did not find evidence for genetic, epigenetic or transcriptome differences that explained disease discordance. These are the first female, twin and autoimmune disease genome sequences reported.

• Colorectal cancer organoid-stroma biobank cohort

  In colorectal cancers (CRC) the tumor microenvironment plays a key role for prognosis and therapy efficacy. Patient-derived tumor organoids (PDTOs) show enormous potential for preclinical testing, however, purely epithelial cultures features including the ‘consensus molecular subtypes’ (CMS) are largely eradicated. To better reflect the cell type heterogeneity, we established the CRC organoid-stroma biobank of matched PDTOs and cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) from 30 patients. Whole exome sequencing and transcriptome analysis in various in vitro and in vivo contexts was performed to study the influence of the TME on the CRC phenotype.

• Human CD4 Memory T Cell Activation Time Course

  We performed a high-resolution time course RNA-seq experiment on CD4+ memory T cells during activation with anti-CD3/CD28 beads. We performed this in 24 adult individuals of European ancestry with no autoimmune diseases. We used 1 million cells as starting material, per time point (up to 8 time points per individual from 0 to 72 hours). We identified widespread dynamic allele-specific expression (dynASE) across the genome, i.e. ASE that changes with time after activation, which reflects cell state-dependent genetic regulatory effects. DynASE events were enriched in risk loci for multiple autoimmune diseases. This highlights the importance of studying multiple cellular states in order to elucidate the mechanisms of autoimmune disease. It also provides a successful framework to do it in other cellular systems relevant for other traits. We also showed an unprecedented amount of regulatory variation for HLA genes. HLA-DQB1 has 3 distinct regulatory haplotypes with expression profiles that could come from 3 different genes. We performed ATAC-seq in replicate for CD4+ memory T cells stimulated for 72 hours from another healthy individual. These data, together with genetic fine-mapping, CRISPR editing, EMSA and luciferase assays, helped us find a SNP in the promoter of HLA-DQB1 that causes at least part of the large cell state-dependent change in expression, at the RNA and protein levels.

• Human data for chromatin accessibility (ATAC-Seq and scATAC-Seq) and transcriptome (RNA-Seq and scRNA-Seq) in eight B-cell precursors, from HSC to Naive B cells

  We generated paired transcriptomic (RNA-Seq) and chromatin accessibility (ATAC-Seq) profiles from 8 immune cell populations representing the early lymphoid hematopoietic differentiation stages along the B cell lineage: HSC, CLP, pro-B, pre-B, Immature B, Transitional B, Naive B CD5-, Naive B CD5+. Cell populations were isolated from healthy adult human bone marrow precursors and peripheral blood (n=13) following a predefined sorting strategy. For each donor, a subset of different cell type populations was obtained. Additionally, to explore the continuous dynamic of RNA and ATAC, we generated a single-cell sample of human CD34+ B cell precursors.

• Transcriptional Profiling of Macrophages In Situ in Metastatic Melanoma Reveals Localization-Dependent Phenotypes and Function

  Therapeutic interventions modulating immune function at the tumor site could improve outcomes in cancer. Here we analyzed metastatic melanoma, a tumor type highly responsive to T-cell based therapies, and found that the tumor-infiltrating T cells are localized closely to CD14+ monocytes/macrophages rather than to melanoma cells. Using novel immunofluorescence-guided laser capture micro-dissection, we analyzed transcriptomes of CD3+ T cells, CD14+ monocytes/macrophages and melanoma cells in non-dissociated tissue. CD14+ cells localized in tumors beds displayed specific transcriptional signatures distinct from CD14+ cells that were localized in tumor stroma.The 8 distinct metastatic melanoma samples are from the Cooperative Human Tissue Network (CHTN). 64 RNA-seq files are available from 16 intraCD14+, 16 stromaCD14+, 16 cancer cells, 8 intraCD3+ and 8 stromaCD3+ cells. 2 LCM harvests were completed for the CD14+ and cancer cells on two sections of the samples. One harvest was done for the CD3+ samples.The processed data (TPM/raw counts tables) are available on GEO under GSE180124.

• HiDEF-seq Single-Molecule Sequencing of Single-Strand Mismatches and Damage

  Our study sought to resolve, with single-molecule resolution, the mismatches and damage events that precede DNA mutations. Using a novel single-molecule, long-read sequencing method (HiDEF-seq) we detected base substitutions when present in either one or both DNA strands. We compared the fidelity for dsDNA mutations to that of the same samples profiled by NanoSeq duplex sequencing. We also detected cytosine deamination, a common type of DNA damage, with single-molecule resolution. We profiled 134 samples from diverse tissues, including from individuals with cancer predisposition syndromes. These samples revealed single-strand mismatch and damage signatures. Since double-strand DNA mutations are only the endpoint of the mutation process, our approach enables new studies of how mutations arise in a variety of contexts, especially in cancer and aging.The data available via dbGaP includes raw HiDEF-seq sequencing files (Pacific Biosciences subreads in BAM format), raw NanoSeq sequencing files (Illumina FASTQ format), and raw germline sequencing files (Illumina FASTQ format).The HiDEF-seq main publication contains a supplementary table with a list of accession IDs for each sample's files.

• Pediatric Low-Grade Glioma RNA and Targeted Sequencing

  Pediatric low-grade gliomas (pLGG) are frequently driven by genetic alterations in the RAS/MAPK pathway yet show unexplained variability in their clinical outcome. To address this, we characterized a cohort of >1,000 clinically annotated pLGG. 84% of cases harbored a driver alteration, while those without an identified alteration also often exhibited up-regulation of the RAS/MAPK pathway. pLGG could be broadly classified based on their alteration type. Rearrangement-driven tumors were diagnosed at a younger age, enriched for WHO grade I histology, infrequently progressed, and rarely resulted in death as compared to SNV-driven tumors. Further sub-classification of clinical-molecular correlates stratified pLGG into risk categories. These data highlight the biological and clinical differences between pLGG subtypes and opens avenues for future treatment refinement.

• Multifocal cohort analysis unveils cell types associated with regional lymph node seeding in prostate cancer

  The aim of this project was to assess the effect of intratumor heterogeneity on pathological and molecular markers in locally advanced prostate cancer. We demonstrate how primary lesions with a higher metastatic potential more closely resemble the state in the metastatic lymph nodes, for some biological signatures. Finally, we developed a statistical procedure to identify the most likely seeding lesion and introduced a statistical testing procedure to leverage the intratumor heterogeneity to identify signatures that characterize the seeding lesion.

• Evolutionary analysis of primary tumors and metastatic lesions from 20 breast cancer patients (99 samples in total) using exome sequencing data.

  Metastatic breast cancers are still incurable. Characterizing their evolutionary landscape including the role of metastatic axillary lymph nodes to seed distant organ metastasis can provide rational basis for effective treatments. Here, we describe the genomic analyses of the primary tumors and metastatic lesions from 20 breast cancer patients (99 samples). Our evolutionary analyses revealed diverse spreading and seeding patterns governing tumor progression. Although linear evolution to successive metastatic sites was common, parallel evolution from the primary tumor to multiple distant sites was also evident. Metastatic spreading was frequently coupled with polyclonal seeding, where multiple metastatic subclones originated from primary tumor and/or other distant metastases. Synchronous axillary lymph node metastasis, a well-established prognosticator of breast cancer, was not involved in seeding distant metastasis, suggesting haematogenous route for cancer dissemination. Clonal evolution coincided frequently with emerging driver alterations and evolving mutational processes, notably a significant increase in apolipoprotein B mRNA editing enzyme, catalytic polypeptide-like (APOBEC) associated mutagenesis. Our data provide the first genomic evidence regarding the role of axillary lymph node metastasis in seeding distant organ metastasis and elucidates the evolving mutational landscape during cancer progression.

• Assessment of cannabidiol and Δ9-tetrahydrocannabiol in mouse models of medulloblastoma

  Phytocannabinoids Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) have been demonstrated to exhibit anti-cancer activity in preclinical models of brain cancer leading to new clinical trials for adults with glioblastoma. We describe here the first report that has investigated a role for THC and CBD in paediatric brain cancer. Cannabinoids had cytotoxic activity against medulloblastoma and ependymoma cells in vitro, functioning in part through the inhibition of cell cycle progression and the induction of autophagy. Despite these effects in vitro, when tested in orthotopic mouse models of medulloblastoma or ependymoma, no impact on animal survival was observed. Furthermore, cannabinoids neither enhanced nor impaired conventional chemotherapy in a medulloblastoma mouse model. These data show that while THC and CBD do have some effects on medulloblastoma and ependymoma cells, are well tolerated and have minimal adverse effects, they do not appear to elicit any survival benefit in preclinical models of paediatric brain cancer.

• Spatial multiomic analyses reveal carcinogenic pathways in end-stage renal disease

  Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) are at increased risk for acquired cystic kidney disease (ACKD) and renal tumours, but the molecular basis of such disorders remains elusive. Here, we performed spatial immunogenomic analyses on specimens from 43 patients with ACKD and associated tumours. In this study, we characterized the genomic and transcriptomic features of renal tumours in ESRD. Second, we elucidated the genetic background and microenvironment of cysts in ACKD via comprehensive spatial transcriptomics.

• Enhancer profiling identifies epigenetic markers of endocrine resistance and reveals therapeutic options for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer patients (LuCaP cell line data)

  Androgen Receptor (AR) signaling inhibitors, including enzalutamide, are treatment options for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), but resistance inevitably develops. Using metastatic samples from a prospective phase II clinical trial, we epigenetically profiled enhancer/promoter activities with H3K27ac chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing, before and after AR-targeted therapy. We identified a distinct subset of H3K27ac-differentially marked regions that associated with treatment responsiveness. These data were successfully validated in mCRPC patient-derived xenograft models (PDX). In silico analyses revealed HDAC3 as a critical factor that can drive resistance to hormonal interventions, which we validated in vitro. Critically, we identified the pan-HDAC inhibitor, vorinostat to be effective in decreasing tumor cell proliferation both in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, we uncovered evidence for HDAC3 working together with Glucocorticoid Receptor (GR) as a potential mechanism for this therapeutic effect. These findings demonstrate rationale for new therapeutic strategies including HDAC inhibitors to improve patient outcome in advanced stages of mCRPC. Project Goal: We identified H3K27ac regions associated with resistance in patient samples. Extensive analysis of these regions suggested that HDAC3 may play a role in resistance. To test this, we analyzed ChIP-seq and RNA-seq from cell lines generated from PDX LuCaP samples (recapitulating resistant and non-resistant) to validate findings in patient samples. ChIP-seq samples were used to verify the signals identified from specific factors, such as H3K27ac, AR, FOXA1, GR and HDAC3, their association with resistance and possible mechanisms of action. RNA-seq samples were analyzed to determine the effect of AR signaling in these samples in specific genes in the H3K27ac resistance-associated regions.

• DNA Methylation age and mortality in the Lothian Birth Cohorts of 1921 and 1936

  The study examined the association between DNA methylation age and mortality. Methylation age was estimated in 4 cohorts (including the Lothian Birth Cohorts of 1921 and 1936) and related to subsequent time-to-death. Across all four cohorts there was a strong correlation between predicted methylation age and chronological age. For individuals with a 5 year age acceleration (DNA methylation age - chronological age = 5), there was a meta analysed hazard ratio of mortality of 1.21 [1.14, 1.29]. Phenotype data associated with the study are available through dbGaP, the methylation raw data are available through the European Genome-phenome Archive (EGA; accession number EGAS00001000910).

• Tracing the molecular route to progression in miRNA biogenesis-defective thyroid lesions

  Alterations in the DICER1 and DGCR8 microprocessor genes confer risk to the development of benign and malignant thyroid lesions. The involvement of 2 miRNA biogenesis genes in benign and malignant thyroid tumors highlights the key role of miRNAs in the thyroid gland. We traced the progression from benignity to malignancy in DICER1- and DGCR8-mutated thyroid lesions by performing a multiomic characterization of these lesions aiming to uncover unique features characterizing either form for potential use as biomarkers. This multiomic characterization included whole exome sequencing (WES) (N=18), miRNA profiling (N=38), spatial transcriptomics (N=2) and/or methylome (N=281).

• Conjunctival fibrosis and the innate barriers to Chlamydia trachomatis intracellular infection: a genome wide association study

  This data comes from a genome-wide association study in 1090 cases of scarring trachoma and 1531 controls from a non-selected multi-ethnic sampling of The Gambia. The data constitutes hard base calls at 1457295 features from the HumanOmni2.5-8 (Omni2.5) BeadChip. Three genotype-calling algorithms were used : Illuminus (Bioinformatics 2007, 23:2741–6), GenCall (Patent US7035740, 2006) and GenoSNP (Bioinformatics 2008, 24:2209–14). Data from each calling algorithm was filtered to retain only SNPs with a call rate ≥ 0.98. To obtain a merged set of SNPs, all genotypes that matched across call-sets were retained, whilst those that mismatched between call-sets were set to missing. Genotypes that were present in one call set and missing in others were also retained. The merged SNP set contained 1467876 SNPs, which were filtered for call rate ≥ 0.99 and Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium P value < 5 x 10-8. The case and control groups were approximately equivalent with respect to gender and ethnicity. 70% of cases and 63% of controls were female. Self-described ethnic composition of the cases was 29% Jola, 27% Mandinka, 21% Wolof, 10% Fula and 13% other/no data. In controls the composition was 25% Jola, 24% Mandinka, 21% Wolof, 8% Fula and 22% other/no data. Median age was 49 (range 32-60) in cases and 37 (range 12-52) in controls (t = -3.6019, P = 0.0003). This data set has substantial levels of population structure, which reflects extensive networks of pairwise kinship between participants. First pass tests of association in EMMAX (Nat Genet 2010, 42:348–54) led to genome-wide deflation of the test statistics (λ = 0.982 SE = 1.74e-05) that could be directly attributed to the differing age and gender distributions between cases and controls. Modelling the phenotype to adjust for age and gender successfully controlled for this and no genome-wide deviation from the null was subsequently observed (λ = 1.001, SE = 8.7 x 10-7). Neither principal components analysis (PCA) nor tests of proportional identity by state (IBS) variance in PLINK identified significant levels of within or between group genetic variance. The phenotypes submitted in the phenotypes file include both uncorrected (case/control status) and corrected (age and gender corrected case/control status) phenotypes, as well as age and self-described ethnicity.

• comparing the snRNA-seq from placentas of mothers with or without obesity

  Obesity poses risks to maternal health and increases the likelihood of short- and long-term adverse pregnancy outcomes in the offspring. The placenta, a key organ at the maternal-fetal interface, responds to maternal obesity and regulates fetal growth. To investigate the molecular features of physiological adaptation, we perform single-nuclei RNA-seq on human placentas and compared the transcriptomic profiles of women with obesity delivering appropriate- or large-for-gestational age (i.e., AGA and LGA) babies with those from normal-weight healthy controls with AGA babies. The snRNA-seq libraries were generated with Chromium Single Cell 3’ kit v3.1 (10X Genomics) and sequenced on Illumina NovaSeq 6000 at Novogene.

• Single Cell RNA-Seq Reveals Malignant and Stromal Programs Associated with Metastasis in Head and Neck Cancer

  This study of head and neck cancer aimed to profile individual malignant, stromal, and immune cells in treatment-naive oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma, with or without matched metastatic cervical lymph nodes. Clinical and pathologic information was collected on all patients, in addition to a fresh biopsy sample from the primary tumor and/or metastatic lymph node at the time of initial surgery. Biopsy specimens were processed for single cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) and/or whole exome sequencing (WES). A total of ~6,000 single cells from 18 participants were included in the final dataset. Stromal and immune cells had consistent expression programs across patients. Conversely, malignant cells varied within and between tumors in their expression of signatures related to cell cycle, stress, hypoxia, epithelial differentiation, and partial epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (p-EMT). One of the top scoring genes in this program was TGFβ-induced (TGFBI), implicating the classic EMT regulator TGFβ. Cells expressing the p-EMT program spatially localized to the leading edge of primary tumors. By integrating single-cell transcriptomes with bulk expression profiles for hundreds of tumors, we refined Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) subtypes by their malignant and stromal composition, and established p-EMT as an independent predictor of nodal metastasis, grade, and adverse pathologic features. Our results provide insight into the HNSCC ecosystem and define stromal interactions and a p-EMT program associated with metastasis.

• Loss of presentation of estimated neoantigens from mutated genes in ctDNA was essential for fostering primary to recurrent tumors in postoperative colorectal cancer cases

  Specific parameters regarding mutations at primary sites for the detection of postoperative recurrence using circulating tumor (ct)DNA liquid biopsy are lacking. In the current retrospective study, we conducted target resequencing of ctDNA using 47 plasma samples and established a cancer panel carrying the commonly mutated genes between primary and recurrent tumors. We found that mutated genes in ctDNA indicated immune-resistance traits with respect to the impaired ability to present neoantigens by loss of expression or binding affinity to HLA in the primary tumor. Compared with the estimated neoantigens from all mutated genes in primary tumors, the neoantigen peptides from commonly mutated genes between primary and recurrent tumors showed abundant and significant expression with no binding affinity to HLA. Therefore, ctDNA mutations can be frequently and postoperatively detected to identify recurrence; however, these mutated genes were derived from immune-tolerated clones owing to the loss of neoantigen presentation in primary CRC tumors.

• Genomic Alterations in Normal Breast Tissues Preceding Breast Cancer Diagnosis (GANPBC)

  This study was designed to examine the genomic alterations in histologically normal breast tissues of women who subsequently developed breast cancer and compare it to breast tissues from women who did not. Breast core needle biopsy tissues from 160 healthy women at the Susan G. Komen Tissue Bank were requested for this study and sequenced using whole exome sequencing. The samples included tissues from 79 participants who, during the annual follow-up with Susan G. Komen self-reported a subsequent diagnosis of invasive or non-invasive breast cancer after tissue submission; these cases were classified as pre-diagnosis normal tissues. The remaining 81 samples were from women who had no cancer diagnosis at their last follow-up and were classified as healthy control samples. Among the pre-diagnosis samples, the average time from tissue donation to breast cancer diagnosis was 4.7 years (range: 0-11). For the healthy controls, the average time from tissue donation to the last follow up was 6.1 years (range: 0-14).

• Autozygosity pilot - Born in Bradford (2017-05-11)

  The offspring of first cousin marriages have ~6% of their genome autozygous, i.e. homozygous identical by descent, or even more if there was further consanguinity in their ancestry. In the UK there are large populations with very high first cousin marriage rates of 20-50%. Sequencing the exomes of a sample of these individuals has the potential both to support genetic health programmes in these populations, and to provide genetic research information about rare loss of function mutations. This pilot study based on existing cohort samples from the Born In Bradford study will identify homozygous individuals for almost all variants down to an allele frequency around 1%, plus individuals carrying hundreds of new homozygous rare loss-of-function variants, and will support development of community relations and ethics for a wider study currently being designed. The data deposited in the EGA consist of low coverage whole exome sequencing on these samples. This dataset contains all the data available for this study on 2017-05-11.

  It was a single-cell RNA sequencing study on the PBMC samples from four Finnish children at risk of developing Type 1 diabetes and their gender age and HLA matched control children. All four Case children were positive for multiple islet specific autoantibodies and two of them also progressed to clinical disease during the follow up whereas the control children remain negative for all autoantibodies. Single-cell analysis confirmed some of the signatures obtained from the bulk data. It identified that high IL32 in case samples in the bulk RNA-seq was contributed mainly by activated T cells and NK cells. Trajectory analysis of the scRNA-seq data suggested that IL32 expression increased as the T cells moved towards activated state.

• Adult granulosa cell tumor WGS data cohort with corresponding reference germline WGS data

  Adult granulosa cell tumors (AGCTs) harbor a somatic FOXL2 c.402C>G mutation in ~95% of cases and are mainly surgically removed due to limited systemic treatment effect. In this study, potentially targetable genomic alterations in AGCTs were investigated by whole genome sequencing on 46 tumor samples and matched normal DNA. Copy number variant (CNV) analysis confirmed gain  of chromosome 12 and 14, and loss of 22. Pathogenic TP53 mutations were identified in three patients with highest tumor mutational burden and mitotic activity, defining a high-grade AGCT subgroup. Within-patient tumor comparisons showed 29-80% unique somatic mutations per sample, suggesting tumor heterogeneity. FOXL2-wildtype AGCTs had DICER1, TERT(C228T) and TP53 mutations and similar CNV profiles as FOXL2-mutant tumors. Our study confirms that absence of the FOXL2 c.402C>G mutation does not exclude AGCT diagnosis. The lack of overlapping variants in targetable cancer genes, indicates the need for personalized treatment for AGCT patients

• DNA Methylation loss coupled with mitotic cell division promotes immune evasion of tumours with high mutation load

  Mitotic cell division increases tumour mutation burden and copy number load with a positive and inverse correlation, respectively, with the clinical benefit of immunotherapy. Markers of cell division correlate also with genomic demethylation involving methylation loss in late-replicating partial methylation domains. Here we find that immunomodulatory pathway genes are concentrated in these domains and transcriptionally repressed in demethylated tumours with CpG island promoter hypermethylation. Global methylation loss correlated with immune evasion signatures independently of mutation burden and aneuploidy. Methylome data of our cohort (n = 60) and a published cohort (n = 81) in lung cancer and a melanoma cohort (n = 40) consistently demonstrated that genomic methylation alterations counteract the contribution of high mutation burden and increase immunotherapeutic resistance. Higher predictive power was observed for methylation loss than mutation burden. We also found that genomic hypomethylation correlates with the immune escape signatures of aneuploid tumours. Hence, DNA methylation alterations implicate epigenetic modulation as a combination regimens for precision immunotherapy.

• SweGen whole-genome sequencing from the Swedish Twin Registry

  The dataset contains whole-genome sequencing data (aligned read files) in CRAM-format (lossless compression) for a total of 942 DNA samples, selected to represent a cross-section of the Swedish population. The samples originate from the Swedish Twin Registry (STR) and have been obtained from different geographical regions. For each of the 942 individuals, DNA was extracted from a blood sample and subject to whole genome sequencing (WGS). The WGS was performed using 2x150 bp paired-end chemistry on Illumina HiSeq X Ten instrumentation at the SciLifeLab National Genomics Infrastructure (NGI) in Stockholm and Uppsala. FASTQ files generated by WGS were analyzed using the nf-core pipeline Sarek, which includes pre-processing, alignment to the human GRCh38 reference genome, and germline variant calling. All participants gave their written informed consent and the TwinGene study was approved by the regional ethics committee (Regionala Etikprövningsnämnden, Stockholm, dnr 2007-644-31, dnr 2014/521-32). Access to phenotypic information can be requested from the Swedish Twin Registry (http://ki.se/en/research/the-swedish-twin-registry).

• Diverse transcriptomic and mutational patterns but limited functional pathway alterations in patient-derived SS cells

  We profile the whole-transcriptome of 7 patient-derived Sézary Syndrome (SS) cells to identify expression patterns, functional programs and expressed gene mutations that may provide clues on new therapeutic options for SS patients. The libraries were sequenced on NextSeq500 (Illumina) with a paired-end read length of 2x75bp.
