• Combination Therapies for Personalised Cancer Medicine in drug resistant EGFR mutant lung cancer

  This study involves mutagenizing a range of different cell lines with ENU to identify those mutations which engender resistance to targeted treatment. In the last decade we have begun to move towards the use of targeted therapeutics in the clinic, often resulting in dramatic response rates in cancer patients. However, clinical experience has demonstrated time and time again that such responses are invariably followed by the development of drug resistance. Identification of the underlying mechanisms may enable us to reverse such resistance. Traditional methods of modelling this resistance in vitro can lead to a plethora of potential resistance mechanisms that can be difficult to decipher.

• Development, maturation and maintenance of human prostate inferred from somatic mutations

  Stem cells within prostate epithelium frequently undergo malignant transformation, but there is limited information on their clonal dynamics and mutation burden in healthy human prostates. We sequenced whole genomes from 409 microdissections of prostate epithelium across 8 donors, using phylogenetic reconstruction with spatial mapping in a 59-year-old man’s prostate to provide high-resolution reconstruction of tissue dynamics across the lifespan. Somatic mutation burden increases linearly with age, at ~16 mutations/year/clone, and is higher in peripheral than peri-urethral regions. The 24-30 independent glandular subunits are established as rudimentary ductal structures during fetal development by 5-10 embryonic cells each. Puberty induces formation of further side branches and terminal acini by local stem cells disseminated through the rudimentary ducts during development. During adult tissue maintenance, clonal expansions are small, with limited geographic scope and minimal migration. Driver mutations are rare in normal ageing prostate epithelium, but the one canonical driver we did observe generated a sizable intraepithelial clonal expansion. By resolving unbiased, continuously occurring lineage-marking mutations, we define stem cell dynamics through embryogenesis, puberty and ageing, with relevance for prostate cancer.

• RNAseq of GEPARSIXTO

  294 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue samples were sent to the UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center Translational Genomics Lab (TGL) for RNA isolation using the Maxwell 16 MDx Instrument (Promega AS3000) and the Maxwell 16 LEV RNA FFPE Kit (Promega AS1260) following the manufacturer’s protocol (Promega 9FB167). 279 total RNA sequencing libraries were prepared at TGL using a Bravo Automated Liquid-Handling Platform (Agilent G5562A) and the TruSeq Stranded Total RNA Library Prep Gold Kit (Illumina 20020599) following the manufacturer’s protocol (Illumina 1000000040499). RNAseq library quality and quantity were measured using a TapeStation 4200 (Agilent G2991AA) and Qubit 3.0 fluorometer (Life Technologies Q33216), pooled at equal molar ratios, and denatured following the manufacturer’s protocol (Illumina 1000000106351). 271 total RNA sequencing libraries were sequenced at TGL on NovaSeq 6000 (Illumina 20012850) S4 flow cells (Illumina 20028313) following the manufacturer’s protocol (Illumina 1000000019358) using a 2x50 bp paired-end configuration and pool sizes of 91 libraries to target a read depth of 110 million clusters per library on average.

• CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing of Schistosoma mansoni acetylcholinesterase

  Here we report successful gene knock-in (KI) in the eggs of Schistosoma mansoni by combining CRISPR/Cas9 with single-stranded oligodeoxynucleotides (ssODNs). We targeted the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) gene of S. mansoni using two synthetic guide RNAs (gRNAs), X5 and X7, respectively. Liver eggs of S. mansoni were exposed to CRISPR-vector containing X5 or X7 by electroporation. Simultaneously, eggs were transfected with a ssODN donor encoding a stop codon in all six frames. Next generation sequencing analysis revealed that CRISPR/Cas9-mediated editing in S. mansoni eggs resulted in Homology-Directed Repair (HDR) when template DNA ssODN provided. Furthermore, soluble egg antigen (SEA) from AChE-modified eggs exhibited markedly reduced AChE activity compared with controls, indicative that programmed Cas9 cleavage mutated the AChE gene. Following injection of modified schistosome eggs into the tail veins of mice, a significant decrease in granuloma size in the lungs of these animals. Notably, an enhanced Th2 response induced by eggs in lung, and splenocytes small intestine-draining mesenteric lymph node cells was also generated in mice injected with X5-KI eggs in different methods. These findings further demonstrate the power and utility of CRISPR/Cas9-based genome editing for undertaking functional genomics studies in schistosomes.

• Single-cell study of 14 childhood medulloblastoma patients

  Medulloblastoma intra-tumoural genetic heterogeneity and clonal evolution, and their role in disease pathogenesis and clinical behaviour, are poorly understood. We used single-cell whole-genome sequencing (sc-WGS) to reconstruct the natural history and temporal evolution of 14 medulloblastomas, representing its major clinico-molecular sub-classes. We identified wholly-clonal tumours which displayed single-clone expansion (i.e. linear evolution); all were observed in favourable-outcome sub-classes (i.e. MBWNT and infant MBSHH). In contrast, remaining tumours harboured sub-clonal structures which displayed punctuated or gradual trajectories; highest-risk sub-classes, typically characterised by MYC-amplification (MBGroup3) or TP53-mutation (MBSHH), and linked to genomic instability and LCA pathology, were most clonally-diverse. Clinically-adopted biomarkers were typically early-clonal/initiating events, representing exploitable targets for early-disease detection; in analyses of spatially-distinct tumour regions, a single biopsy was sufficient to assess their status. sc-WGS revealed events not previously appreciated in bulk tumour analysis, which arose later and/or sub-clonally and more commonly displayed spatial diversity; their clinical significance and role in disease evolution post-diagnosis now require establishment. In summary, our findings reveal diverse modes of tumour initiation and clonal evolution in the major medulloblastoma sub-classes, highlighting their pathogenic relevance and clinical potential.

• P647 Targeted resequencing project

  In collaboration with Dr Robert Semple we have identified a family harbouring an autosomal dominant variant, which leads to severe insulin resistance (SIR), short stature and facial dysmorphism. This family is unique within the SIR cohort in having normal lipid profiles, preserved adiponectin and normal INSR expression and phosphorylation. DNA is available for 7 affected and 7 unaffected family members across 3 generations. All 14 samples have been genotyped using microsatellites and the Affymetrix 6.0 SNP chip. Linkage analysis identified an 18.8Mb haplotype on chromosome 19 as a possible location of the causative variant. However, Exome sequencing of 3 affected and 1 unaffected family members has not identified the causative variant suggesting the possibility of an intronic or intergenic variant in this region or elsewhere in the genome. We propose to conduct whole genome sequencing of 5 members of the pedigree at a depth of 20X. The chosen samples are two sets of parents plus one member of an unaffected branch of the pedigree who shares the risk haplotype on chromosome 19. Sequencing of the two sets of parents will be used along with the genome-wide SNP data to impute 4 affected children giving an effect sample size of 6 affected individuals.

• Evolution and clinical impact of genetic epistasis within EGFR-mutant lung cancers: multi-timepoint exome sequencing of a single patient's disease

  This dataset is a time-series of EGFR-mutant NSCLC clinical specimens from an individual patient profiled using tumor-based whole exome sequencing and the data is in BAM format. DNA was extracted from FFPE for primary tumor and frozen tumor tissue samples and matched non-tumor tissue using the Qiagen Allprep DNA/RNA Mini Kit.  The library preparation protocol was based on the Agilent SureSelect Library Prep and Capture System. DNA was resuspended in a low TE buffer and sheared (Duty Cycle 5%; Intensity 175; Cycles/Burst: 200; Time: 300s, Corvaris S2 Utrasonicator).  Bar-coded exome libraries were prepared using the Agilent Sure Select V5 library kit per manfucaturer’s specifications. The libraries were run on the HiSeq2500. Raw paired end reads (100bp) in FastQ format generated by the Illumina pipeline were aligned to the full hg19 genomic assembly obtained from USCS, gencode 14, using bwa version 0.7.12. Picard tools version 1.117 was used to sort, remove duplicate reads and generate QC statistics. Tumor DNA was sequenced to median depth of 303X (range 114.39-383.41) and the matched germline DNA to average depth of 231.65.
