• CaBagE: a Cas9-Based Background Elimination Strategy for Targeted, Long-Read DNA Sequencing

  While repeat-expansion polymorphisms are known to underlie several developmental and neurological disorders, technological limitations have inhibited the ability to resolve accurate genotypes for these variants. A pertinent example is the (CCCCGG)n repeat expansion in C9orf72 that segregates with up to 40% of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) cases. There is a clear relationship between this repeat expansion and neurodegeneration. However, widely-used short-read sequencing is ill-suited to characterize the C9orf72 repeat expansion due to polymerase slippage over low complexity sequences and the inherently limited mapping/haplotype resolution of redundant short sequences. Consequently, researchers and physicians must rely on crude variant characterization methods (e.g. Southern blots), which limit direct genotype-phenotype associations and create challenges for the diagnosis of disease in patients with atypical clinical presentation. In contrast, ultra-long (e.g., 10-150kb) sequencing reads generated by Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) enable direct measurement of loci containing complex structures without being subject to amplification or alignment bias. We are therefore developed a molecular and computational framework for targeted sequencing and quantification of pathogenic repeat expansions by combining Cas9 and amplification-free sequence capture methods with Nanopore long-read sequencing technology. First, extracted high molecular weight DNA is bound by Cas9 on either side of a DNA target. Bound Cas9 protects the target DNA from challenge by processive exonucleases. Unprotected (off-target) DNA is degraded with exonucleases and the remaining sample is sequenced using the ONT MinION sequencer. Then, base-called reads are aligned to the target locus and repeat copy number genotypes are estimated using a Gaussian Mixture Model. We applied this molecular and computational framework to 2 ALS patients with C9orf72 repeat expansions with biospecimens available from the NINDS collection from Coriell. Genotype estimates produced with CaBagE were commensurate with genotypes derived from repeat-primed PCR for each individual.

• Single-cell RNA-seq of human kidney tumors

  Fresh nephrectomy samples were collected from a total of 5 untreated ccRCC patients. Out of these 5 patients, 7 samples were obtained. Two samples consisted of fresh versus frozen single cells from the primary tumor site of one patient. Two other samples consisted of matched primary and distant thrombus sites (the vena cava) of a second patient. The three remaining samples came from the primary tumor sites of three distinct ccRCC patients. Single-cells were captured into 10x barcoded gel beads and RNA-sequencing library preparation was done using Chromium Single Cell 3' v2 chemistry. Sequencing was performed on a Illumina HiSeq 4000 sequencer.

• Genomic and epigenomic characterization of juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML)

  Juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) is an aggressive myeloproliferative disorder of early childhood. While some cases show spontaneous remission, allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) remains the only curative treatment option for the majority of patients, however, the 5-year event-free survival reaches only about 50%. Hyperactive RAS signaling is assumed to be the main driving event in JMML. It is caused by genetic alterations in CBL, KRAS, NF1, NRAS, or PTPN11 in about 90% of patients. So far, there is no clear understanding of how RAS pathway mutations relate to the heterogeneous disease biology and variable clinical outcome seen in JMML patients. As a consequence, established clinical and genetic markers fail to fully represent the observed disease heterogeneity. We hypothesized that DNA methylation profiling, either alone or in combination with genetic alterations, might provide a molecular basis for disease classification. Genome wide DNA methylation analysis using the HumanMethylation450 Bead Chip array was performed in a discovery cohort of 20 patients (19 JMML, 1 Noonan syndrome). The clinical relevance of our findings was assessed in an unselected sample set consisting of 147 consecutive patients with JMML (n=129) or Noonan syndrome (n=18) associated myeloproliferative disorder (n=18) registered in the EWOG-MDS 1998 & 2006 trials. Data integration was performed in a subset of patients with available exome sequencing (n=50) and expression profiling (n=15) data. This integrated approach identified three JMML subgroups characterized by distinct clinical and biological features. This analysis further suggested a molecular mechanism by which additional genetic events, presumably further activating the RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK pathway, mediate DNA hypermethylation via up-regulation of DNMTs in more aggressive JMML cases.

• A benchmark of DNA methylation deconvolution methods for tumoral fraction estimation using DecoNFlow

  In cancer patients, circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) originates from both healthy and cancer cells, and the proportion of tumor-derived cfDNA serves as a surrogate marker of tumor burden. Tumoral cfDNA can be identified using patient-specific mutations or more general tumor-specific DNA methylation patterns that are preserved in cfDNA, enabling non-invasive cancer detection and monitoring. Accurately estimating tumor fractions remains challenging due to the heterogeneous mixture of cfDNA sources in body fluids. Computational DNA methylation deconvolution methods can address this by estimating tumoral fraction with or without reference methylomes. Here, we benchmarked 10 reference-based and 2 reference-free DNAm deconvolution tools and provide the data generated for this benchmarking, consisting of 10 neuroblastoma cell lines and one healthy cfDNA sample (pooled from 15 healthy cfDNA samples), profiled using cfRRBS.

• Measuring the level of relatedness between NGS datasets

  Sequencing technologies are providing increasingly detailed insight in genetic makeup are paving their way into molecular diagnostics. The field will benefit from rigorous and bias-free measures for the quality of sequence data and for the proper representation of the complexity of the original samples. While current methodologies rely on the availability of a well-characterized reference genome, we propose kMer profiling for alignment-free assessment of the quality, comparability, and complexity of sequencing datasets. We show that kMer detects technical artefacts such as high duplication rates, library chimaeras, and differences in library preparation protocols in whole-genome, whole-exome, and RNA sequencing data. Additionally, it successfully captures the complexity and diversity of microbiomes. Thus, kMer allows for a robust evaluation of the quality and complexity of sequencing data without relying on any prior information and opens the way to a more reliable biological reasoning.

• VIKING Health Study - Shetland

  The Viking Health Study – Shetland, together with ORCADES collectively termed VIKING, aims to identify genes influencing risk factors for common diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, glaucoma and stroke. The genetic research cohort study in Shetland was established to identify genetic variants, both common and rare, increasing risk of disease. This isolated population has a number of characteristics, the most important being the very large number of distant relatives, which are favourable for the identification of rare variants influencing disease risk. This study describes PCR-free paired end whole genome sequencing (TruSeq DNA PCR-Free, Illumina) run on a HiSeqX platform at 30X coverage on 500 individuals from VIKING. Unrelated individuals from the largest families were selected first, followed by those from smaller families, until eventually related individuals were selected to best represent the variation in the full cohort.

• Characterization of Cell Free Plasma Methyl-DNA From Xenografted Tumors to Guide the Selection of Diagnostic Markers for Early-Stage Cancers

  Circulating cell-free methyl-DNA (mcfDNA) contains promising cancer markers but its low abundance and possibly diverse origin pose challenges toward the accurate diagnosis of early stage cancers. By whole-genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) from about 0.5 mL plasma of mice xenografted with human tumors, we obtained and aligned the reads to the human genome, filtered out the mouse and carrier bacterial sequences, and confirmed the tumor origin of methyl-cfDNA (mctDNA) by methylation-sensitive restriction enzyme digestion prior to species-specific PCR. We estimated that human tumor-specific reads (ctDNA) or mctDNA comprised about 0.29 or 0.01%, respectively of the xenograft mouse cfDNA, and about 0.029 or 0.001% of the cfDNA of human early stage cancer patients. Similar WGBS of early stage (0-II, node- and metastasis-free) breast, lung or colorectal cancer samples identified hundreds of specific DMRs (differentially methylated regions) compared to healthy controls. Their association with tumourigenesis was supported by stage-dependent methylation, tumor suppressor or oncogene clusters, and genes also identified in the xenograft samples. Using 20 three-cancer-common and 17 colorectal cancer-specific DMRs in combination (top 0.0018% of the WGBS methylation clusters) was sufficient to distinguish the stage I colorectal cancers from breast and lung cancers and healthy controls. Our data thus confirmed the tumor origin of mctDNA by sequence specificity, and provide a selection threshold for authentic tumor mctDNA markers toward precise diagnosis of early stage cancers solely by top DMRs in combination.
