Colorectal cancer, the second most commonly diagnosed cancer is a biologically heterogeneous disease. To characterize the molecular attributes of colorectal tumors, we conducted targeted sequencing at the Center for Inherited Disease Research (CIDR) on 4,518 tumor and matched normal DNA samples from the Genetics and Epidemiology of Colorectal Cancer Consortium (GECCO) and the Colon Cancer Family Registry (CCFR). These consortia are based on cohort and population-based case-control studies.
Hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) aging involves heterochromatin reorganization. These repressive marks together with DNA methylation are essential for suppressing transposable elements (TEs). In this study we analyze heterochromatin and transcriptomic changes occurring at genes and TEs in HSCs from chronic myelomonocytic leukemia, a severe myeloid malignancy affecting the elderly, compared to age-matched cells, and in the presence or absence of a combination of epidrugs.
Single-cell RNA-sequencing of brain organoids at day 120 grown in four distinct growth protocols designed to generate dorsal (D) and ventral (V) forebrain, midbrain (M) and striatum (S) tissue using eight different pluripotent stem cell lines. Per per cell line-protocol combination two organoids (biological replicates) were grown. For cell line 176 the experiment was conducted in two independent biological replicates (repititions E1 and E2).
We newly sequenced whole-genome of Korean participants by using long- and short-read sequencing platforms (n = 3 and n = 100 for long- and short-read sequencing, respectively). With these data, generated by Sequel II HiFi system (Pacific Bioscience) and DNBSEQ-T7 (MGI) sequencers, we identified a set of structural variations common in Korean population as well as the genetic features distinct from other ethnicities.
Methylome and transcriptome data of non-proliferating and autoproliferating memory B cells (CD27+) from Multiple sclerosis patients under natalizumab treatment, that have been generated and analyzed for the study "T-bet+ CXCR3+ B cells drive hyperreactive B-T cell interactions in multiple sclerosis". Aim is to understand epigentic and transcriptional differences in activated memory B cells in MS and how epigentic differences translated in transcriptional changes in the same patient.
99 FFPE derived tumor tissue DNA, 9 circulating tumor DNA samples and 38 paired germline DNA were used. A library containing whole exome regions was used to isolate the DNA for sequencing (SureSelect XT Human All Exon V6 (Agilent technologies)). Sequencing on a NovaSeq 6000 instrument (Illumina, paired end, 2x100, mean 566Gb per FlowCell) at the National Genomic Analysis Center (CNAG, Barcelona, Spain) was performed.
This dataset comprises targeted sequencing data of 52 genes previously implicated in severe COVID-19 outcomes. The study includes samples from 764 individuals with severe COVID-19 and 3,939 population-based controls from the GCAT cohort (Spain). Molecular Inversion Probes (MIPs) were utilized for cost-effective and precise sequencing of the selected genes. The targeted genes include: Inflammasome/IL-1/TNF Pathway: NLRP3, CASP1, CASP8, IL1B, TNF, RIPK1, RIPK3, MYD88, TNFRSF13B SARS-CoV-2 Entry/Replication: ACE2, TMPRSS2, FURIN, SLC6A20, DDX1, DDX58, TLR4, FYCO1, CTSB, CTSL, ADAM17 Complement System: MBL2, CFH, CFI, CFB, ADAM10, CD46 Interferon Signaling: TLR3, IFIH1, IFITM3, TBK1, TLR7, IL10RB, IFNAR1, IFNAR2, SIGLEC1, MYD88, IFNGR1 Chemokine Receptor Signaling: CCR1, CCR3, CCR2, CCR9, IL8, CXCL3, CXCL10, CXCR6, XCR1, CCL2, CCL20 Immunodeficiency Genes: CASP8, CD46, CFB, CFH, CFI, IFNAR1, IFNAR2, IFNGR1, IFIH1, MYD88, NLRP3, RIPK1, TBK1, TLR3, TLR7
Ichthyosis introduces multiple sources of disturbance to the skin, including the direct biochemical consequences of the genotype, the phenotypic changes in skin physiology, and an altered skin microbiome. The association between changes in the skin microbiome and the disease's genotypic and phenotypic effects are historically obscured. Here we characterize the skin microbiome of healthy participants and ichthyosis patients, before assessing the association between these microbiome features and the ichthyosis genotype and phenotype while adjusting for contextual host covariables.
The overall protocol for the samples used in this study collects medical information, blood, and biopsy samples from children with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) over time to understand clinical characteristics and disease pathogenesis. Our patient population has confirmed EoE and symptoms of esophageal dysfunction characteristic endoscopic findings of EoE. Fibroblasts isolated from esophageal tissue samples from 2 subjects with active EoE and 2 control subjects were evaluated using single cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq).
