• A Somatic Reference Standard for Cancer Genome Sequencing

  In this study, we separately performed PCR-free whole genome sequencing on the paired tumor/normal melanoma COLO-829 and lymphoblastoid COLO-829BL cell lines across three separate institutions (TGen, Illumina, Genome Sciences Centre at the British Columbia Cancer Agency). We performed a meta-analysis of all data, in combination with the originally reported analysis of these cell lines by Pleasance et al., and report a somatic reference standard based on consensus events. This standard can be used as a reference for tumor/normal whole genome analyses.

• Resistance studies in Lung Cancer

  The purpose of the study was to compare gene expression profiles from a cohort of crizotinib-resistant ALK-rearranged lung tumors and a cohort of treatment-naive ALK-rearranged lung tumors. Expression profiles were generated by RNA-seq. In parallel, gene expression profiles were obtained from ALK-rearranged lung cancer cell lines in the presence or absence of the ALK inhibitor TAE684. Gene expression profiles were also obtained from ALK-rearranged cells ectopically expressing genes associated with ALK inhibitor resistance that were identified from a functional genetic study.

• Molecular Biomarkers of Obesity and Metformin Response in Endometrial Cancer: Analysis of GOG-0286B

  The primary endpoint for the phase 2 study was progression free survival (PFS), and the primary endpoint for the phase 3 study was overall survival (OS). Data from phase 2 were included in the phase 3 analysis. Tissue was collected from patients with endometrial cancer who participated in the study (NCT02065687). The tissue will be analyzed for genetic data and combined with the clinical data to see if some gene variants are associated with longer PFS or OS, particularly on the metformin arm of the study.

• Deep Sequencing of 3 Cancer Cell Lines on 2 Sequencing Platforms (Illumina HiSeqX and NovaSeq)

  To test the performance of a new sequencing platform, develop an updated somatic calling pipeline and establish a reference for future benchmarking experiments, we performed whole-genome sequencing of 3 common cancer cell lines (COLO-829, HCC-1143 and HCC-1187) along with their matched normal cell lines to great sequencing depths (up to 278X coverage) on both Illumina HiSeqX and NovaSeq sequencing instruments. This dataset can be used for benchmarking purposes by the genomic community and as a reference call set for scientists using these 3 cell lines.

• Gastrointestinal Cancer Treatment Responders

  Comprehensive genomic profiling of colon adenocarcinomas has revealed multiple recurrent alterations that may inform new treatment strategies. Clinical trials of these agents are ongoing, although the mechanisms of response and resistance to these agents are not well characterized. The goal of this study is to perform comprehensive profiling of pre-treatment and post-resistance tumor and germline samples obtained from patients with colon cancer who receive these agents by carrying out whole exome sequencing and RNA sequencing, and to use these data to identify mechanisms of response and resistance.

• Acquired Cross-Resistance in Small Cell Lung Cancer Patient-Derived Xenografts

  Here we present whole genome sequencing and RNA sequencing of patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models of small cell lung cancer (SCLC). These models were derived at a variety of clinical time points from either biopsy/resection samples, malignant effusions, or circulating tumor cells (CTCs), and grown in the subcutaneous flank of NSG (NOD.Cg-Prkdcscid Il2rgtm1Wjl /SzJ) mice. The first analysis published with these data was to determine the genomic and transcriptomic features of PDX models derived after relapse that demonstrated in vivo resistance to multiple chemotherapy regimens (cross-resistance).

• Molecular counting enables accurate and precise quantification of methylated ctDNA for tumor-naive cancer therapy response monitoring

  Personalized cancer treatment can significantly extend survival and improve quality of life for many patients, but accurate and real-time therapy response monitoring remains challenging. To overcome logistical and technical challenges associated with therapy response monitoring via imaging scans or assays that track the variant allele fraction (VAF) of somatic mutations in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), we developed a tumor-naive liquid biopsy assay that leverages Quantitative Counting Template (QCT) technology to accurately and precisely quantify methylated ctDNA (Northstar ResponseTM).

• Whole Exome Sequencing of Human Gastro-esophageal Cancer PDXs

  The current study investigates biomarkers of response to anti-EGFR therapies in gastro-esophageal cancer. Whole exome sequencing was performed on 26 tumors to explore potential factors influencing treatment outcomes. As part of the analysis, somatic mutations in EGFR, ERBB2, and key downstream signaling genes (KRAS and PIK3CA) were examined to exclude the presence of known mutations conferring sensitivity/resistance. The study aims to contribute to the identification of patients who may benefit from lower-toxicity regimens, improving treatment personalization and minimizing adverse effects.

• Evaluation of Local Response of Prostate Cancer to Irradiation Using Multiparametric MRI and MR-Guided Biopsies

  The purpose of this study was to determine the rate of local recurrence in patients with intermediate and high risk prostate cancer treated with radiotherapy. In this study, multiparametric MRI was first performed, and biopsy tissue was acquired from cancerous regions detected on MRI. Blood samples were also taken. DNA and RNA were extracted from tissue taken at baseline. DNA was used for whole exome sequencing (WES). RNA was used for gene expression microarray. Each patient then received radiation therapy with androgen deprivation therapy.

• Comprehensive peripheral blood immunoprofiling reveals five immunotypes with immunotherapy response characteristics in cancer patients

  The lack of comprehensive diagnostics and consensus analytical models for evaluating the status of a patient’s immune system has hindered a wider adoption of immunoprofiling for treatment monitoring and response prediction in cancer patients. To address this unmet need, we developed an immunoprofiling platform that uses multiparameter flow cytometry and RNA-seq to characterize immune cell heterogeneity in the peripheral blood of healthy donors and patients with advanced cancers. Using unsupervised clustering, we identified five immunotypes with unique distributions of different cell types, and gene expression profiles.
