• Contribution of systemic and somatic factors to clinical response and resistance in urothelial cancer: an exploratory multi-omic analysis

  Patients with metastatic urothelial cancer (n=29) were treated with atezolizumab (anti-PD-L1). All 29 patients had T-cell receptor sequencing (TCR-seq) of the pre-treatment blood; 24 also had TCR-seq on at least one post-treatment blood sample. 24 patients had TCR-seq of their pre-treatment tumors. TCR-seq data can be found at http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.546110. 26 patients also had RNAseq of their tumors and whole exome sequencing (WES) of their tumors and matched normal blood. WES results for one sample were excluded from our analysis after failing to meet coverage requirements.

• Characterization of Prostate Cancer Organoids

  Using models from the LuCaP series as well as those generated at the National Cancer Institute, we have established organoids for in vitro mechanistic testing, including drug screening and genetic manipulation. The major findings from these continuing studies is the durability of organoids for maintaining complex subpopulation and intratumoral heterogeneity and the parallels between in vitro testing and patient outcomes. Existing data from prior releases includes whole-genome sequencing, whole-exome sequencing, single-cell and bulk RNA-seq, single-cell ATAC-seq, and SNP array. New data in this release is ChIP-seq data from three models and RNA-seq data from one model.

• Radiation-Related Genomic Profile of Papillary Thyroid Cancer after the Chernobyl Accident

  The April 26, 1986 accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in northern Ukraine resulted in the release of radioactive contaminants, which were deposited in the surrounding areas in Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia. The main radiation-related health effect resulting from these exposures is the increased occurrence of thyroid cancer among individuals who were children at the time of the accident or born shortly thereafter. The purpose of this study was to conduct a comprehensive genomic landscape analysis of papillary thyroid tumors arising in individuals who were exposed as children to radioactive iodine (I-131) from the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident.

• Sensitive urothelial cancer detection via high volume urine DNA analysis

  Cystoscopy and imaging are the gold standard for urothelial cancer (UC) detection and surveillance, but cystoscopy is an uncomfortable procedure associated with adverse effects and a low diagnostic yield as only 10% of hematuria patients have UC. Urine tumor DNA (utDNA) is a non-invasive UC biomarker that has suffered from poor sensitivity for Ta stage tumors (<80%). We hypothesized that high urine volume analysis with a multi-gene panel could overcome these limitations, and developed a 100 mL utDNA laboratory platform (UroScout) that analyzes 25 commonly mutated UC genes and 8 copy number-altered loci for somatic alterations to detect UC.

• Single-Cell Genomic Analysis of Gastrointestinal Cancer

  Our study aimed to define the heterogeneity of gastrointestinal cancers at a single-cell resolution. We subjected single-cell suspensions derived from surgical resections of gastrointestinal cancer tissue, paired normal tissue, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) or their ex vivo cultures to high-throughput microfluidics based single-cell RNA and DNA sequencing. We analyzed the features of the tumor microenvironment including fibroblasts, endothelial cells, macrophages and lymphocytes to determine their contribution to tumor growth and progression. We also characterized the mechanisms of immunosuppression in these tumors. This analysis led to novel insights into the biology of the microenvironment and also enabled the identification of new treatment targets.

• plasma DNA LINE-1 targeted bisulfite sequencing: a new non-invasive multi-cancer detection marker

  The detection of circulating tumor DNA, which allows non-invasive tumor molecular profiling and disease follow-up, promises optimal and individualized management of patients with cancer. However, detecting small fractions of tumor DNA released when the tumor burden is reduced remains a challenge. We developed a PCR-based targeted bisulfite method coupled to deep sequencing to detect methylation patterns of L1PA elements,which we named DIAMOND (for Detection of Long Interspersed Nuclear Element Altered Methylation ON plasma DNA). We used sodium bisulfite chemical conversion to achieve base-pair resolution analysis and designed a multiplexed PCR based on 8 amplicons covering L1PAs .

• DNTR sequencing data of paediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia

  This study used the DNTR-seq method in leukaemia samples to profile the whole-genome and mRNA jointly in single cells. Direct tagmentation is used in a collection of single-cell whole genome sequencing (scWGS) methods, including DNTR-seq, which provide high quality data at ultra-low to low coverage. The overall goal was to characterize the genetic and transcriptional heterogeneity of cancer samples. To infer clonal structure and evolutionary history, copy number analysis based workflows were implemented. Bone marrow mononuclear cells from pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia samples were FACS sorted into 384 plates to generate the DNA and RNA profiles.

• scRNAseq analysis of CD8 T cells infiltrating the bladder and tumor of 4 non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer patients, before and after BCG treatment.

  We performed scRNAseq analysis of CD8 T cells infiltrating the bladder and tumor of 4 non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer patients, before and after BCG treatment. In order to identify tumor-specific T cells, we selected CD8 T cells that were enriched in the tumor of the patient. We also selected CD8 T cells appearing in the bladder after BCG treatment, with the hypothesis that BCG treatment stimulates tumor-specific CD8 T cells. Next, we cloned the TCR of these T cells in a Jurkat cell line and tested these TCR for recognition of tumor-specific antigens.

• Identification of cis-regulatory mutations generating de novo edges in personalized cancer gene regulatory networks

  The identification of functional non-coding mutations is a key challenge in the field of genomics. Here we introduce μ-cisTarget to filter, annotate and prioritize cis-regulatory mutations based on their putative effect on the underlying ‘personal’ gene regulatory network. We validated μ-cisTarget by re-analyzing the TAL1 and LMO1 enhancer mutations in T-ALL, and the TERT promoter mutation in melanoma. Next, we re-sequenced the full genome of ten cancer cell lines and used matched transcriptome data and motif discovery to identify master regulators with de novo binding sites that result in the up-regulation of nearby oncogenic drivers.

• Rapid response of APC/TP53/KRAS mutated stage IV colorectal cancer under FOLFIRI + Bevacizumab detected by liquid biopsy: a case report

  In our non-interventional liquid biopsy study, a male patient in his fifties diagnosed with stage IV colorectal cancer and polytope liver metastases rapidly progressed after completing chemotherapy and deceased 8 months after diagnosis. Retrospective cell free DNA testing showed that the APC/TP53/KRAS major clone responded quickly after 3 cycles of FOLFIRI + Bevacizumab. Retrospective exome sequencing of pre-chemotherapy and post-chemotherapy tissue samples including metastases confirmed that the APC/TP53/KRAS and other major clonal mutations (GPR50, SLC5A, ZIC3, SF3A1 and others) were present in all samples. After the last chemotherapy cycle,
