• Immunogenomic analysis of tumor infiltrating B cells in gastric cancer

  Despite the accumulating evidences of the significance of humoral cancer immunity, its molecular mechanisms have largely remained elusive. This study aimed at profiling the global picture of the humoral cancer immunity in view of immune repertoire characteristics of tumor-infiltrating B cells. In this study, we investigated B-cell repertoire (BCR) / immunoglobulin (Ig) sequencing of tumor infiltrating B cells in 102 clinical gastric cancers. First, total RNAs were extracted from frozen gastric cancer tissues and corresponding normal gastric mucosa; then, BCR/Ig repertoires of tumor-infiltrating B cells were amplified by target PCR using multiplex primer sets available from iRepertoire(R), inc. Subsequent next-generation sequencing data obtained by the Illumina platform were aligned onto human BCR/Ig repertoire sequence. This dataset contains the repertoire sequencing data of 102 gastric cancer cases analyzed in this study.

• A Comprehensive Catalogue of Somatic Mutations from a Human Cancer Genome

  We have carried out complete sequencing of the genome of the human male maligant melanoma cell line COLO-829 using the Illumina Genome Analyzer II. We generated a sequencing library with a median insert size of ~200 bp following random fragmentation and gel fractionation of the genomic DNA. We sequenced 75 bases from both ends of these templates to cover the COLO-829 genome to an average depth of more than 40x. We have carried out purity-filtering (PF) to remove mixed reads, where two or more different template molecules are close enough on the surface of the flow-cell to form a mixed or overlapping cluster. No other filtering of the data has been carried out prior to submission. We have also submitted sequence data for a lymphoblastoid control cell line COLO-829BL from the same individual.

• The Simons Genome Diversity Project: 300 genomes from 142 diverse populations

  Here we report the Simons Genome Diversity Project data set: high quality genomes from 300 individuals from 142 diverse populations. These genomes include at least 5.8 million base pairs that are not present in the human reference genome. Our analysis reveals key features of the landscape of human genome variation, including that the rate of accumulation of mutations has accelerated by about 5% in non-Africans compared to Africans since divergence. We show that the ancestors of some pairs of present-day human populations were substantially separated by 100,000 years ago, well before the archaeologically attested onset of behavioural modernity. We also demonstrate that indigenous Australians, New Guineans and Andamanese do not derive substantial ancestry from an early dispersal of modern humans; instead, their modern human ancestry is consistent with coming from the same source as that in other non- Africans.

• CD49f single-cell methylomes

  Single-cell DNA methylation has emerged as a powerful tool to study molecular heterogeneity within cellular populations. We report the development of a bisulfite based whole genome protocol suitable for use on single index sorted primary mammalian cells. Application of this protocol to human hematopoietic stem cells provided quantitative DNA methylation measurements of up to 5.7 million CpGs in a single cell. Analysis of cis CpG methylation states in single cells revealed a loss of concordance beyond 2kb, which supported the development of a new analytical framework (PDclust) for single-cell DNA methylation datasets that considers heterogeneity of methylation states at single CpG resolution. PDclust identified epigenetically distinct subpopulations within highly purified and functionally defined human stem cell populations. In silico merging of the methylation states from the single cells allowed us to ascribe function to these epigenetically distinct subpopulations on the basis of their epigenetic states.

• Validation_of_a_Haloplex_platform_for_targeted_re_sequencing_of_the_exons_of_25_genes

  We recently used the Agilent SureSelect platform to re-sequence a set of genes known to bemutated in human AML. The results from 10 AML DNA samples were very satisfactory, butthe effort required was significant.Thus, we decided to re-sequence the same genes using the Haloplax system for targetenrichment in 48 AML samples. We planned to do this using MiSeq and have data from apilot of 3 samples. The data is promising but coverage appears pathcy so far.However, in order to get a better understanding of the data we will need deeper sequencing. Wewill need two lanes of HiSeq to get the same degree coverage as Sureselect.his data is part of a pre-publication release.

• Ongoing_mutagenesis_RNAseq

  One of the key questions to be explored is whether the biological processes generating specific mutational signatures continue to operate in the human cancer cell lines or simply reflect past mutagenic activity which is no longer operative. To address this question, we have extracted mutational signatures from 1,000 cancer cell lines of diverse cancer types. Several cell lines with mutational signatures of interest were selected, subcloned over a defined period of time and their genomes sequenced. The increased load of the mutations representative of a specific mutational signature within the genome of a subclone when compared to its parental clone was informative of the on-going mutational processes. To further study the recent observation that some of the clones belonging to a same cell line acquired differencet numbers of mutations over a set period of time, their RNA will be subjected to RNA-sequencing to study their differences.

• Recapitulation of genetic predisposition to medulloblastoma in human neuroepithelial stem cells

  Human neural stem cell cultures provide progenitor cells that are potential cells of origin for brain cancers. However, the extent to which genetic predisposition to tumor formation can be faithfully captured in stem cell lines is uncertain. Here we evaluated neuroepithelial stem (NES) cells, representative of cerebellar progenitors. We transduced NES cells with MYCN, observing medulloblastoma upon orthotopic implantation in mice. Significantly, transcriptomes and patterns of DNA methylation from xenograft tumors were globally more representative of human medulloblastoma compared to a MYCN-driven genetically engineered mouse model. Orthotopic transplantation of NES cells generated from Gorlin syndrome, patients predisposed to medulloblastoma due to germline mutated PTCH1, also generated medulloblastoma. We engineered candidate cooperating mutations in Gorlin NES cells, with mutation of DDX3X or loss of GSE1 both accelerating tumorigenesis. These findings demonstrate that human NES cells provide a potent experimental resource for dissecting genetic causation in medulloblastoma.
