• Whole Exome Sequencing of monomorphic epitheliotropic intestinal T-cell lymphoma and enteropathy associated T-cell lymphoma

  Background : Enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma (EATL) and monomorphic epitheliotropic intestinal T-cell lymphoma (MEITL) are aggressive malignancies with limited treatment options and poor prognosis. Our research on MEITL has uncovered its genetic portrait including hallmark SEDT2 mutations, expanded its pathological spectrum, and identified molecular biomarkers influencing patients’ outcome. In this study, we aimed to establish and clarify the similar and diverging features of EATL. Methods : A large combined cohort of patients with EATL (n=30) and MEITL (n=52) was assembled and tumor samples were used for whole-exome and RNA sequencing profiling.

• Understanding_hematopoietic_stem_cell_mobilization_and_engraftment_

  This study looks at patients undergoing gene therapy for genetic blood and immune disorders, in particular sickle cell disease. From each patient, single blood HSPC colonies are grown from patient blood mononuclear cells, bone marrow mononuclear cells, or CD34+ at multiple time points: pre gene transduction, post-transduction, and post-infusion (at several time points). Whole-genome sequencing will be performed on DNA from these colonies and somatically-acquired mutations will be called. Using these mutations, a phylogeny of these cells can be inferred and further inferences can be made about the gene therapy transduction and engraftment steps.

• Cross-site Concordance Evaluation of Tumor DNA and RNA Sequencing Platforms of CIMAC-CIDC Network

  The Cancer Immune Monitoring and Analysis Centers (CIMACs) and the Cancer Immunologic Data Commons (CIDC)  has engaged in efforts to harmonize Whole-exome (WES) and RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) data from three different experimental platforms (MD Anderson, NCI MoCha lab, and Broad Institute) and are using a series of developed pipelines to process the early trial samples. To evaluate the consistency of tumor WES and RNA-seq profiling platforms across different centers, the CIMACs-CIDC conducted a systematic harmonization study. DNA and RNA were centrally extracted from fresh frozen (FF) and formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) tumors and distributed to three centers for WES and RNA-seq profiling

• Genome Asia 100K Project

  The underrepresentation of non-European individuals in human genetic studies so far has limited the diversity of individuals in genomic datasets and led to reduced medical relevance for a large proportion of the world’s population. Population-specific reference genome datasets as well as genome-wide association studies in diverse populations are needed to address this issue. Here we describe the pilot phase of the GenomeAsia 100K Project. This includes a whole-genome sequencing reference dataset from 1,739 individuals of 219 population groups and 64 countries across Asia. We catalogue genetic variation, population structure, disease associations and founder effects. We also explore the use of this dataset in imputation, to facilitate genetic studies in populations across Asia and worldwide.

• TDP43 proteinopathy leads to divergent cryptic splicing in the cortex and spinal cord

  Mislocalization of the nuclear TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP43) is a hallmark of ALS and FTD which leads to de-repression and inclusion of cryptic exons, promising biomarkers of TDP43 pathology in a spectrum of neurodegenerative diseases. However, most cryptic exons to date have been identified from in vitro models or a single cortical FTD dataset, and little is known about cryptic splicing in the spinal cord, or within different neuronal subtypes. We meta-analyzed published bulk RNAseq datasets representing 1,778 RNAseq profiles of ALS and FTD post-mortem tissue, and in vitro models with experimentally depleted TDP43. We identified 142 cryptic splices, including 76 novel events. We found a novel pattern of spinal cord cryptic splicing, validated in an independent cohort by qPCR, which differed significantly from cortical and in vitro splicing. Finally, leveraging multiple public single-nucleus RNAseq datasets of ALS and FTD motor and frontal cortex, we confirmed the elevation of cortical-enriched splices in disease and localized them to layer-specific neuronal populations. This catalog of cryptic splices could inform efforts to develop biomarkers for tissue-specific and cell type-specific TDP43 pathology.

• Defined Lifestyle and Germline Factors Predispose Asian Populations to Gastric Cancer

  Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the leading causes of cancer mortality throughout the world, with the highest incidence in east-Asia. Although the somatic genetics of GC has extensively been characterized by recent advances in cancer genome sequencing, the germline and environmental effects on GC and their ethnic differences have poorly been understood. Here, we performed genomic scale trans-ethnic analysis of 531 GC cases (319 Asian and 212 non-Asians), by integrating east-Asian and public GC datasets. There is one distinct GC subclass with clear alcohol-associated mutation signature and strong Asian specificity, and almost all the cases in the subclass are attributable to alcohol intake behavior, smoking habit, and Asian-specific ALDH2 defective allele. Alcohol-related GCs have low mutation burden and a characteristic immune profile of increased B-cell infiltration into the tumor area in relation to cancer cell-intrinsic CXCL13 chemokine expression. In addition to germline variants of genes involved in BRCA pathways, we found frequent (7.4%) germline CDH1 variants among Japanese GCs. Most of them were attributed to a few recurrent SNVs shared by both Japanese and Koreans, suggesting the existence of common ancestral events and widespread distributions of these pathogenic variants among east-Asian populations. Specifically, approximately one-fifth of diffuse-type GCs were attributable to the combination of alcohol intake and defective-ALDH2 allele or to germline CDH1 variants. These results revealed uncharacterized impacts of germline variants and their interplays with lifestyles in the high incidence areas.

• Effect of ETS2 modulation on chromatin accessibility and enhancer activity in inflammatory (TPP) macrophages

  This dataset consists of H3K27ac ChIP-seq and ATAC-seq in primary human macrophages following modulation of ETS2 expression. There are three datasets: H3K27ac ChIP-seq in ETS2-edited and unedited inflammatory (TPP) macrophages, H3K27ac ChIP-seq in ETS2-overexpressing and control M0 macrophages, and ATAC-seq in ETS2-edited and unedited inflammatory macrophages. For editing experiments, monocytes were transfected with CRISPR-Cas9 ribonucleoproteins containing a gRNA that was validated to edit ETS2, or a non-targeting control gRNA. Inflammatory macrophage differentiation was 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). For overexpression experiments, controlled overexpression of ETS2 mRNA or control mRNA (an equivalent amount of mRNA encoding the reverse complement of ETS2 – thereby controlling for the quantity, length and purine/pyrimidine composition of the transfected RNA but with a transcript that would not be translated) was induced in resting, non-activated (M0) macrophages by transfecting 500ng mRNA. To minimise non-specific activation due to the transfected RNA, in vitro transcription was performed using co-transcriptional capping (to minimise uncapped products), and incorporating modified, minimally immunogenic nucleotides (replacing uridine with N1-methyl-pseudouridine and cytidine with methylcytidine). After 18 hours, transfected cells were were activated with low dose LPS and harvested 6 hours later. For H3K27ac ChIP-seq, cells were harvested, 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 on an Illumina NovaSeq 6000. Raw data are provided as raw and aligned sequencing reads from H3K27ac-bound DNA and the input chromatin. ATAC-seq in TPP macrophages was performed using the Omni-ATAC protocol (Corces et al 2017) with the following modifications: cell number was increased to 75,000 cells, cell lysis time was increased to 5 minutes; volume of Tn5 transposase in the transposition mixture was doubled; duration of the transposition step was extended to 40 minutes. Sequencing libraries were prepared by PCR with the NEBNext Ultra II Q5Master Mix (NEB) as described previously (Corces et al 2017). Amplified libraries were cleaned using AMPure XP beads (Beckman Coulter). Sequencing reads were trimmed using TrimGalore! (Phred score 24), filtered to remove reads < 20 bp and aligned to the human genome (hg19) using Burrows-Wheeler Aligner (BWA). Aligned reads were converted to BAM files, sorted and indexed using SAMtools (Li et al, 2009). PCR duplicates and unmapped reads were removed, and the resulting BAM files were re-sorted and indexed. Raw data are provided as 100 bp paired-end Illumina reads from n = 3 donors for each experiment. BAM files are also provided.

• Genome-wide Association Study of Myasthenia Gravis

  The purpose of this project was to conduct a genome-wide associate study to search for the genetic factors that predispose to myasthenia gravis. The rationale for this study lies in the fact that, although the immunological and physiological processes affecting the neuromuscular junctions of myasthenia gravis patients are well understood, the spectrum of genetic factors that predispose to myasthenia gravis and influence its disease manifestations are not well known. Identification of the myasthenia gravis-related genes will shed light on the fundamental cellular events underlying myasthenia gravis, and will provide focus for research aimed at developing therapies that alter the natural course of the disease. A consortium of fourteen institutions in North America collected DNA samples from 1028 people diagnosed with autoimmune myasthenia gravis. Relevant clinical data have been collected for each patient, including age of onset, severity of disease, response to drug therapy, personal and family history of other autoimmune diseases. Genotyping of the case cohort was performed in the Laboratory of Neurogenetics, National Institute on Aging, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD. Genotyping of the case cohort was performed using the HumanOmniExpress-12v1_C SNP array manufactured by Illumina Inc. For the control cohort, we downloaded genotype data from dbGAP (accession phs000196.v2.p1) for 1,998 US neurologically normal individuals. The control cohort had been previously genotyped at the Center for Inherited Disease Research at Johns Hopkins University on HumanOmni1-Quad version 1.0B beadchips (Illumina) as part of the NeuroGenetics Research Consortium GWAS of Parkinson&#39;s disease. Analyses were confined to the 677,673 autosomal SNPs that were common to both chips. Of the 1028 samples which were genotyped, 21 samples were excluded due to mismatched genders, 9 were excluded due to low genotype call rate, 5 samples were excluded as duplicates, and 25 samples were excluded as ethnic outliers. The remaining 972 samples were used in analysis.

• Korea Epigenome Project(KEP), Korea National Research Institute of Health(KNIH)

  The KEP was launched in 2012 to produce 50 epigenomic sets on Korean chronic diseases related target cells with the participation on Internationsl Human Epigenome Consortium(IHEC) of which focus is constructing 1000 reference epigenome map on 250 human cell type. The objective of the KEP was to provide a comprehensive epigenomic map of Korean chronic disease-related target tissues. Single cells were isolated from the pancreas, fat and kidney. Islet, ductal, acinar, and beta cells from the pancreas were purified into a single homogenous cell type using flow-assisted cell sorting technique. Adipocytes and pre-adipocytes were purified from fat, using Percoll gradient centrifugation technique. Mesangial, distal tubule, proximal tubule, podocytes, and collecting duct cells from the kidney were collected using mechanical sieving and immunostaining methods. Each cell type was derived from normal tissue or those with diabetes, obesity, or chronic kidney disease. Sixty reference epigenome datasets of pancreatic, fat, kidney cells were produced. Cell types such as the islets, and beta from the pancreas, adipocytes, pre-adipocytes from fat tissue, podocyte, mesangial, tubules from kidney were used for primary target to produce a Korean metabolic reference epigenome. And the bisulfite converted-whole genome sequencing, Infinium 450k DNA methylation bead array, mRNA, miRNA-Sequencing were performed to produce a comprehensive epigenomic map. The aim of roadmap reports is preparation of Long-term and Mid-term Technology Roadmaps for Korean Human Epigenome Project towards a competitive execution of International Epigenome Project and successful expansion of the research outcomes. Roadmap reports reviewed on recent technological development of DNA methylation and histone modification analysis, emerging new trends in epigenome medicine, plans for hardware and software analysis systems aimed to epigenome analysis, medical expert opinion on target cells and isolation scheme, bioinformatics expert opinion on analytical tools, new ideas for a putative epigenome studies, trends in single cell epigenome analysis. In conclusion, roadmap report suggested several projects for the future KNIH epigenome research in collaboration with epigenome research group. These are including refocusing the goals of KNIH-driven research in identification of disease mechanism, development of new studies on GWAS-EWA, higher priority on the epigenomic studies of human primary cells, establishment of collaborative relationship with tissue banking centers, establishment of mapping centers and data analysis portals, establishment of Korean Epigenome Research Consortium, establishment of steering committee governing both research and funding, launching of additional funding for epigenomic researches.

• Genome-wide Rare Variant Score Associates With Morphological Subtypes of Autism Spectrum Disorder

  Defining different genetic subtypes of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) can help predict developmental outcomes. Based on minor physical and major congenital anomalies, we categorized 325 Canadian children with ASD into dysmorphic and non-dysmorphic subgroupings. We developed a method to calculate a genome-wide rare variant score (GRVS) from whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data for each ASD proband. GRVS is a sum of the number of variants in morphology-associated coding and non-coding regions, weighted by their effect sizes. Probands with dysmorphic ASD had a significantly higher GRVS compared to those with non-dysmorphic ASD (P= 0.027). Using the polygenic transmission disequilibrium test, we observed an over-transmission of ASD-associated common variants in non-dysmorphic ASD probands (P= 2.9×10-3). We replicated our findings using 442 ASD probands that had accompanying morphology data in the Simons Simplex Collection. Our findings provide support for an alternative genomic classification of ASD subgroups using morphology data, which may inform intervention protocols.

• Coverage bias and sensitivity of variant calling for four whole-genome sequencing technologies

  Massively parallel sequencing has revolutionized research in cancer genetics and genomics and enhanced our understanding of natural human genetic variation. Recently, Lam et al. have performed a detailed comparison of two next-generation sequencing technologies with respect to their sensitivity to call single nucleotide variants (SNV) and indels. Here, we sequenced two tumor/normal pairs obtained from two paedriatic medulloblastoma patients with Life Technologies’ SOLiD 4 and 5500xl SOLiD, Illumina’s HiSeq2000, and Complete Genomics’ technology. We then compared their ability to call SNVs with high confidence. As gold standard for SNV calling, we used genotypes determined by an Affymetrix SNP array. Additionally, we performed a detailed analysis of how evenly each technology covers the genome and how the reads are distributed across functional genomic regions. Finally, we studied how a combination of data from different technologies might help to overcome the limitations in SNV calling by any of the four technologies alone.

• High Density SNP Association Analysis of Melanoma: Case-Control and Outcomes Investigation

  This research builds upon an extensive resource of melanoma cases and hospital based controls collected over several years at the U.T. M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. The goal of this research is to identify novel susceptibility and outcome-related genes for melanoma using a systematic genome-wide association-based approach. Our goal is to conduct high-density SNP association and outcome studies. This dbGaP study contains samples from 2000 European ancestry cases and 1000 European ancestry controls using the Illumina OMNI1-Quad SNP chip. As a part of an ongoing R01 project, we have epidemiological data together with candidate gene results for 1000 of the melanoma cases and the controls. With regard to the outcome aspect of our design, as part of our melanoma Specialized Program of Research Excellence (SPORE) grant, our MelCore database contains comprehensive, prospectively maintained clinical information from all melanoma patients included in the study cohort, including primary tumor histopathology and staging information, standard and investigational blood tumor markers, details of surgical and systemic therapies, and extensive follow-up information, including time to relapse or recurrence, pattern of recurrence and survival duration. Finally, we intend to collaborate with the GenoMEL collaboration so we can jointly evaluate each other&#39;s findings. The goal of our analysis will be to identify novel genetic factors predisposing the development of melanoma, as well as genetic factors controlling melanoma stage at presentation, recurrence and progression. This study is part of the Gene Environment Association Studies initiative (GENEVA, http://www.genevastudy.org) funded by the trans-NIH Genes, Environment, and Health Initiative (GEI). The overarching goal is to identify novel genetic factors that contribute to melanoma through large-scale genome-wide association studies of 2000 European ancestry cases and 1000 European ancestry controls. Genotyping was performed at the Johns Hopkins University Center for Inherited Disease Research (CIDR). Data cleaning and harmonization were done at the GEI-funded GENEVA Coordinating Center at the University of Washington.

• Error-corrected flow-based sequencing at whole genome scale and its application to circulating cell-free DNA profiling

  Differentiating sequencing errors from true variants is a central genomics challenge calling for error suppression strategies that balance costs when sparse material or ultra-rare variants require high-accuracy methods. For example, circulating cell-free DNA (ccfDNA) sequencing for cancer monitoring is limited by sparsity of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), abundance of genomic material in samples, library preparation error rates and sequencing errors. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) can overcome the low abundance of ccfDNA by integrating signal across the mutation landscape, but higher cost limits adoption compared with targeted panels, where ccfDNA abundance limits maximal coverage depths. Here we applied deep (~120x) lower-cost WGS (Ultima Genomics) with analytic error correction for tumor-informed ctDNA detection within the part-per-million range. We further developed high-coverage duplex error-corrected WGS of ccfDNA, achieving 7.7x10-8 error rates, to assess disease burden in melanoma and urothelial cancer patients without matched tumor sequencing. Together, we show that deeply sequenced error-corrected WGS accurately calls somatic variants, demonstrating the feasibility of WGS for tumor-informed and tumor-agnostic ctDNA detection.

• Custom long non-coding RNA capture enhances detection sensitivity in different human sample types.

  Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a heterogeneous group of transcripts that lack protein coding potential and display regulatory functions in various cellular processes. As a result of their cell- and cancer-specific expression patterns, lncRNAs have emerged as potential diagnostic and therapeutic targets. The accurate characterization of lncRNAs in bulk transcriptome data remains challenging due to their low abundance compared to protein coding genes. To tackle this issue, we describe a unique short-read custom lncRNA capture sequencing approach that relies on a comprehensive set of 565,878 capture probes for 49,372 human lncRNA genes. This custom lncRNA capture approach was evaluated on various sample types ranging from artificial high-quality RNA mixtures to more challenging formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue and biofluid material. The custom enrichment approach allows the detection of a more diverse repertoire of lncRNAs, with better reproducibility and higher coverage compared to classic total RNA-sequencing.

• SHANK2 mutations associated with Autism Spectrum Disorder cause hyperconnectivity of human neurons

  Heterozygous loss-of-function mutations in the synaptic scaffolding gene SHANK2 are strongly associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). To investigate their effect on synaptic connectivity, we generated cortical neurons from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) derived from neurotypic and ASD-affected donors. We developed Sparse coculture for Connectivity (SparCon) assays where SHANK2 and control neurons were differentially labeled and sparsely seeded together on a lawn of unlabeled control neurons. We observed striking increases in dendrite length, dendrite complexity, total synapse number, and frequency of spontaneous excitatory postsynaptic currents. These findings were phenocopied in gene-edited homozygous SHANK2 knockout cells and rescued by gene correction of an ASD SHANK2 muation, supporting a role for SHANK2 as a regulator of connectivity in developing human neurons. Dendrite length increases were exacerbated by IGF1, TG003, or BDNF, and suppressed by DHPG treatment. The transcriptome in these isogenic SHANK2 neurons was deeply perturbed in synapse, plasticity, and neuronal morphogenesis gene sets and ASD gene modules, and activity-dependent dendrite extension was impaired. Our unexpected findings provide evidence for hyperconnectivity and profoundly altered transcriptome in SHANK2 neurons derived from ASD subjects.

• Use of new methodologies to achieve a thorough molecular characterization in pediatric acute leukemia

  In childhood leukemia, a better genetic characterization is needed to define new clinic-biological entities, refine the risk-stratification of patients and help to reduce the toxicity by applying a risk-directed therapy. This project aims to obtain information that will allow us to personalize the management of pediatric patients with leukemia as much as possible, so that we can offer a complete diagnosis, a sensitive follow-up and a more targeted treatment to the real risk of each case. The use of massive genome analysis technologies such as transcriptome sequencing (RNA-Sequencing) will allow a comprehensive biological characterization of pediatric leukemia patients, especially those cases that we have not been able to characterize by conventional diagnostic techniques. We believe that the RNA-Seq technique will allow us to identify new biomarkers that will be useful for: 1) defining new biological entities with their own clinical behavior; 2) refining the stratification of patients into risk groups; 3) finding targets for a better follow-up of MRD and 4) identifying therapeutic targets for the application of targeted therapies to reduce toxicity.

• Field effect of healthy and diseased livers (2019-04-08)

  Recent work in the Campbell group has revealed somatic mutations present in normal, non-cancerous human skin. A subset of the mutations conferred selective advantages to the host cells, leading to clonal expansions and raising the risk for future cancer development. Capturing such somatic mutations in normal tissue is important to advance our understanding about carcinogenesis and could provide prospective medical insights. In this project, our goal is to detect somatic mutations in normal (pre-cancerous) liver tissue. Using Laser Microdissection technology, we will dissect individual liver lobules from patient samples and submit these to sequencing. For each patient sample, we aim to sequence multiple lobules to characterise the mutagenic burden. Samples will be taken from patients with different liver disease aetiologies, including alcoholism and obesity, with a view on distinguishing the prevalent mutation types occurring in each disease context. We will perform targeted sequencing, initially using the WTSI cancer panel. Later we aim to use a novel bait set that captures both cancer genes as well as genes relevant to the non-cancerous samples (ie. genes implicated in hereditary disorders, immune sequences). . This dataset contains all the data available for this study on 2019-04-08.
