• Hereditary Cancer Predisposition Syndromes and Uveal Melanoma

  Uveal melanoma (UM) is a subtype of melanoma characterized by the strong contribution of genetic rather than environmental factors in the pathogenesis of the disease, making it an ideal model disease to study the genetic basis of cancer. The long-term goal of our laboratory is to determine the genes and mechanisms responsible for hereditary cancer predisposition associated with UM. BAP1 has been identified as a candidate gene with definitive association with predisposition to UM. However, pathogenic variants in BAP1 are detected in only a small subset of UM patients even those with strong personal and family history of cancer suggesting the existence of other candidate genes. The goal of this project is to identify novel candidate genes contributing to hereditary predisposition to UM in patients with no detectable germline pathogenic variant in BAP1.

• RNA-seq of Glioblastoma stem cells

  Chromatin accessibility discriminates stem from mature cell populations, enabling the identification of primitive stem-like cells in primary tumors, such as Glioblastoma (GBM) where self-renewing cells driving cancer progression and recurrence are prime targets for therapeutic intervention. We show, using single-cell chromatin accessibility, that primary GBMs harbor a heterogeneous self-renewing population whose diversity is captured in patient-derived glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs). In depth characterization of chromatin accessibility in GSCs identifies three GSC states: Reactive, Constructive, and Invasive, each governed by uniquely essential transcription factors and present within GBMs in varying proportions. Orthotopic xenografts reveal that GSC states associate with survival, and identify an invasive GSC signature predictive of low patient survival. Our chromatin-driven characterization of GSC states improves prognostic precision and identifies dependencies to guide combination therapies.

• Small variants in mtDNA Canary Islands - WGS Illumina (ITER)

  The mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) is of interest for a range of fields including evolutionary, forensic, and medical genetics. Human mitogenomes can be classified into evolutionary related haplogroups that provide ancestral information and pedigree relationships. Because of this and the advent of high-throughput sequencing (HTS) technology, there is a diversity of bioinformatic tools for haplogroup classification. We present a benchmarking of the 11 most salient tools for human mtDNA classification using empirical whole-genome (WGS) and whole-exome (WES) short-read sequencing data from 36 unrelated donors. Besides, because of its relevance, we also assess the best performing tool in third-generation long noisy read WGS data obtained with nanopore technology for a subset of the donors. We found that, for short-read WGS, most of the tools exhibit high accuracy for haplogroup classification irrespective of the input file used for the analysis. However, for short- read WES, Haplocheck and MixEmt were the most accurate tools. Based on the performance shown for WGS and WES, and the accompanying qualitative assessment, Haplocheck stands out as the most complete tool. For third-generation HTS data, we also showed that Haplocheck was able to accurately retrieve mtDNA haplogroups for all samples assessed, although only after following assembly-based approaches (either based on a referenced-based assembly or a hybrid de novo assembly). Taken together, our results provide guidance for researchers to select the most suitable tool to conduct the mtDNA analyses from HTS data.

• Myeloid-specific KDM6B inhibition sensitizes Glioblastoma to PD1 blockade

  This data set include FASTQ files for five experiments: Human scRNA-Seq data (6 samples), Human Visium spatial transcriptomic data (3 samples), Mouse scRNA-seq data (4 samples), Mouse scATAC-seq data (2 samples), Mouse ChIP-seq data (8 samples). For the mouse scATAC-seq data (2 samples), there are originally three FASTQ files, R1, R2 and R3 files. The R1 and R2 FASTQ files were merged into one larger file ("R1R2") per sample for submission as paired-end sequencing setting to follow the EGA guidelines. They can be split into individual R1 and R2 files in order to be processed by Cell Ranger software. The files with IC1 suffix are CHIP-seq Input control for anti-KDM6B antibody pull down experiments and the files with IC2 suffix are CHIP-seq Input control for anti-H3K27ME3 antibody pull down experiments in murine model.

• ChIP sequencing for β-catenin and histone modifications in HCC cell lines and organoids with CTNNB1 mutations

  CTNNB1 mutation is a major driver of HCC, particularly in metabolic-associated subtype. This study utilized patient-derived tumour organoids and cell lines harbouring various endogenous CTNNB1 mutations to comprehensively map the transcriptional repertoire regulated by mutant β-catenin through ChIP-seq under normal and fatty conditions. Genome-wide binding patterns of β-catenin were integrated with ChIP-seq data for histone modifications H3K27ac and H3K27me3 to assess active and repressive chromatin states. Oleic acid treatment was used to model fatty conditions.

• Estonian Microbiome Project second time point dataset

  Out of the 2,509 Estonian Microbiome Project participants, a sub-cohort of over 300 individuals provided an additional stool sample after a median follow-up period of 4.4 years. All participants of the EstMB cohort gave informed consent for the data and samples to be used for scientific purposes. In the second time point, the participants were instructed to send the samples by post immediately after taking the sample and time their sample collection to avoid shipping on the weekends. The median time between sampling and arrival at the freezer in the core facility for the second time point was 53 hours and 1 minute (mean: 59 hours and 22 minutes; minimum: 34 minutes; maximum: 168 hours and 7 minutes [note: additionally, one outlying measurement was 508 hours and 27 minutes. The shotgun metagenomics paired-end sequencing was performed by Novogene Bioinformatics Technology Co., Ltd., using Illumina NovaSeq6000 platform, resulting in 4.62 ± 0.44 Gb of data per sample (insert size 350 bp, read length 2 × 250 bp).

• 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.

• Single cell transcriptional evolution of myeloid leukaemia of Down syndrome – WGS

  Abstract: Children with Down syndrome have a 150-fold increased risk of developing myeloid leukaemia (ML-DS). Unusually for a childhood leukaemia, ML-DS arises from a preleukaemic state, termed transient abnormal myelopoiesis (TAM), and via a conserved sequence of mutations. Here, we examined the relationship between the genetic and transcriptional evolution of ML-DS from a rich collection of primary patient samples through single cell mRNA sequencing, complemented by phylogenetic analyses in progressive disease. We distilled the transcriptional consequence of each genetic step in the evolution of ML-DS, showing that TAM-defining GATA1 mutations account for most of the ML-DS transcriptome, including those of progressive disease. This transcriptional backbone may thus represent a common vulnerability in ML-DS. We extracted the transcriptional difference between TAM and ML-DS which, unexpectedly, reflected features shared across childhood leukaemia. Our approach delineates the transcriptional evolution of ML-DS and provides an analytical blueprint for distilling consequences of mutations directly from patient samples.
