• Emirati Haploid Single-Sample-Assemblies (30 Individuals, 60 Assemblies)

  This dataset provides 27 phased diploid genome assemblies for Emirati trios, delivered in FASTA format. Assemblies were built with hifiasm (trio mode) from PacBio HiFi reads at ≥25× coverage for each parent and offspring, then scaffolded with NTLink and reference-guided merging using RagTag against CHM13v2. As part of the same program, a complementary set of single-sample diploid assemblies for 30 individuals (yielding 60 haplotypes) is being generated from deep PacBio HiFi data to expand a population-matched pangenome reference. Together, these resources capture Emirati genomic diversity and support downstream variant discovery and annotation.

• RNA sequencing data for Molecular Characterization of ETMRs

  The dataset contains two samples from one patient. As a representative FFPE tissue sample, ET174 was histologically iden- tified, targeted and microdissected with a puncher for nucleic acid extraction. RNA was extracted using the automated Maxwell system with the Maxwell 16 LEV RNA FFPE Kit (Promega), according to the manufacturer’s instructions. To evaluate FFPE RNA quality, we used the percentage of RNA fragments >200 nt fragment determination value (DV200). Only RNA samples with DV200 > 70% were included for sequencing on a NextSeq 500 (Illumina). Eight lanes have been sequenced resulting in 16 Fastq files (paired end).

• Transcriptome and Exome from longitudinal samples of human glioblastoma

  We obtained paired longitudinal specimens from a total of 38 glioblastoma (GBM) patients (34 primary and 4 secondary GBM patients). Treatment-naive initial tumors were available for 35 cases; for the other 3 cases, we used the first available recurrent tumors in lieu of initial tumors. Tumor specimens were subjected to whole-exome sequencing (27 of 38 cases, with the matched normal/blood for 22 of the 27 cases) and transcriptome sequencing (30 of 38 cases).

• PKD1 capture-by-hybridization resequencing for genetic diagnostics of polycystic kidney disease

  We established and validated a sequence capture based NGS testing approach for PKD1. The presence of six PKD1 pseudogenes and tremendous allelic heterogeneity make molecular genetic testing of PKD1 variants challenging. In the publication accompaying this dataset (An efficient and comprehensive strategy for genetic diagnostics of polycystic kidney disease, Eisenberger et.al., PLoS one), we demonstrate that the applied standard mapping algorithm specifically aligns reads to the PKD1 locus and overcomes the complication of unspecific capture of pseudogenes. This dataset contains the raw PKD1 reads of all patients from the publication.

• Development of Novel Chondrosarcoma Organoid Models for Drug Discovery

  Chondrosarcoma is a rare and aggressive malignant bone tumor characterized by resistance to conventional chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Its pathogenesis remains poorly understood, although recurrent mutations such as IDH1 have been implicated in tumor development. We treated patients with chondrosarcoma at the Osaka International Cancer Institute and established two organoid cultures from resected tumor specimens using a modified air-liquid interface method. After serial passaging, the organoids were successfully xenografted into NOD-scid IL2Rgnull (NSG) mice. The established organoids retained key histological features and genetic characteristics of the original tumors. These organoid models provide a novel and reliable platform for studying the biology of chondrosarcoma and may facilitate the development of effective therapeutic strategies for this treatment-resistant tumor.

• Epigenetics of Cocaine and Nicotine Addiction

  This project characterizes DNA methylation and gene expression changes that occur in the human brain, specifically in neurons from the rostral striatum. Major advances from NIDA funded initiatives for noninvasive neuroimaging studies have made it possible to study neuroanatomical, neurochemical and functional changes in the human brain that contribute to the vulnerability to abuse drugs, together with the neurotoxic consequences of years of drug misuse. Animal models have been developed to explain the fundamental behavioral and biological mechanisms of addiction, including reward, tolerance and dependence. From these studies, we learned that cocaine abuse not only alters the epigenetic status of genes, but also induces particular epigenetic modifications depending on the frequency of the drug's administration. Certain genes are switched on by infrequent (short-term exposure) administration, while others are switched on only after chronic administration (addiction/dependence). Animal studies have also suggested that cocaine-seeking habits modeling chronic cocaine addiction in humans depend upon dopamine-dependent serial connectivity linking the ventral (nucleus accumbens) with the dorsal striatum (caudate nucleus). The primary goal of this study is to identify DNA methylation and gene expression changes that occur in the transition from recreational cocaine use to cocaine addiction. High throughput sequencing studies were designed to investigate unique postmortem human brain specimens from individuals that met criteria for cocaine dependence, as compared to unaffected age-matched controls. Brain biospecimens were available from the University of Miami Brain Endowment BankTM, from a collection of phenotypically well-characterized postmortem tissues sampled from chronic cocaine abusers that came to autopsy. This biobank of postmortem brain specimens and annotated genomic data serve as a research resource to support NIDA's scientific mission.

• A molecular cell atlas of the human lung from single cell RNA sequencing

  Although single cell RNA sequencing studies have begun providing compendia of cell expression profiles, it has proven more difficult to systematically identify and localize all molecular cell types in individual organs to create a full molecular cell atlas. Here we describe droplet- and plate-based single cell RNA sequencing applied to ~75,000 human lung and blood cells, combined with a multi-pronged cell annotation approach, which have allowed us to define the gene expression profiles and anatomical locations of 58 cell populations in the human lung, including 41 of 45 previously known cell types or subtypes and 14 new ones. This comprehensive molecular atlas elucidates the biochemical functions of lung cell types and the cell-selective transcription factors and optimal markers for making and monitoring them; defines the cell targets of circulating hormones and predicts local signaling interactions including sources and targets of chemokines in immune cell trafficking and expression changes on lung homing; and identifies the cell types directly affected by lung disease genes and respiratory viruses. Comparison to mouse identified 17 molecular types that appear to have been gained or lost during lung evolution and others whose expression profiles have been substantially altered, revealing extensive plasticity of cell types and cell-type-specific gene expression during organ evolution including expression switches between cell types. This atlas provides the molecular foundation for investigating how lung cell identities, functions, and interactions are achieved in development and tissue engineering and altered in disease and evolution.

• Transcriptomics-driven classification of ALAL

  Acute leukemia of ambiguous lineage (ALAL) is a rare, poor-prognosis subtype of acute leukemia that cannot be assigned to a single hematopoietic lineage. Although ALAL patients are typically treated with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) regimens, optimal treatment choice is hindered by their lineage ambiguity. Therefore, we investigated the added value of transcriptomics for improving lineage assignment, currently based mainly on surface markers. First, we used an in-house pipeline to comprehensively detect genetic lesions in RNA-sequencing data (n=23) with a sensitivity >90%, as confirmed by targeted DNA sequencing. Second, we compared ALAL gene expression profiles (GEPs) with representative AML (n=145), B-ALL (n=223) and T-ALL (n=85) cases. In a principal component analysis, ALALs did not form a separate group, but clustered with AML, B-ALL or T-ALL. Accordingly, a machine learning classifier trained with GEPs of acute leukemias segregated 20/23 ALALs into myeloid-, B- or T-lymphoid leukemia. These 20 cases harbored genetic abnormalities consistent with the classifier-assigned leukemia. Furthermore, ALAL GEPs were deconvoluted with single-cell transcriptional profiles of normal hematopoietic cells using CIBERSORTx, revealing enrichment for signatures of lineages corresponding to the leukemic type predicted by our algorithm. The classifier was validated on an external ALAL cohort (n=24), assigning 75% of the patients to a lineage matching their immunophenotypic and methylation profiles. In conclusion, integrative analysis of RNA-sequencing data can accurately classify most ALAL cases. The pipeline and classifier developed in our study are valuable tools to improve ALAL diagnosis and guide therapeutic decisions.

• Genomic Analysis of Pediatric Low Grade Gliomas

  Pediatric low-grade gliomas (PLGGs) are among the most common solid tumors in children but, apart from mutations or duplications in the BRAF kinase in specific subclasses, few genetic driver events are known. Diffuse PLGGs compose a set of uncommon subtypes that exhibit invasive growth and are therefore especially challenging clinically. These tumors are particularly poorly understood. We performed high-resolution copy-number analysis of 44 diffuse PLGGs to identify recurrent alterations. Diffuse PLGGs exhibited fewer such alterations than adult low-grade gliomas, but we identified several significantly recurrent events. The most significant event, 8q13.1 gains, was observed in 28% of diffuse astrocytoma WHO grade II (DA2) and resulted in partial duplication of the transcription factor MYBL1 with truncation of its C-terminal negative-regulatory domain. A similar recurrent deletion-truncation breakpoint was identified in two angiocentric gliomas in the related gene MYB on 6q23.3. Whole genome sequencing of a MYBL1-rearranged diffuse astrocytoma grade II demonstrated MYBL1 tandem duplication and few other events. Two truncated MYBL1 transcripts identified in this tumor induced anchorage-independent growth when expressed in 3T3 cells and tumor formation in nude mice. Truncated transcripts were also expressed in two additional tumors with MYBL1 partial duplication. Our results define clinically relevant molecular subclasses of diffuse PLGGs and highlight a potential role for the MYB family in the biology of low-grade gliomas.

• Expression Quantitative Trait Locus Mapping Studies in Mid-Secretory Phase Endometrial Cells Identifies HLA-F and TAP2 as Fecundability-Associated Genes

  We performed an unbiased genome-wide expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) mapping study to identify common regulatory (expression) single nucleotide polymorphisms (eSNPs) in mid-secretory endometrium, corresponding to the luteal phase of the ovarian cycle. Biopsies were collected from 58 women with two or more early pregnancy losses and 53 of these samples passed all quality control. RNA was extracted from endometrial biopsies and DNA was extracted for sequencing from blood. Gene expression data can be found at NCBI GEO Series GSE77688.
