• H3K27ac ChIP-seq in primary inflammatory (TPP) macrophages

  We investigated an intergenic haplotype on chr21q22, linked to five different inflammatory diseases, and identified the molecular mechanism by which the risk haplotype increases expression of the causal gene, ETS2. This mechanism was predicted to alter enhancer activity at the disease-associated locus. We therefore performed H3K27ac ChIP-seq in inflammatory macrophages from minor and major allele homozygotes at the causal allele and investigated the effect on enhancer activity. In doing so, we mechanistically delineated how the risk haplotype increases expression of ETS2.

• H3Africa - Consortium WGS

  To address gaps in sequence data for some of the African populations being studied in H3Africa projects, additional sequencing has been carried out through various projects and the data are being made available. The first dataset includes a high coverage whole genome sequence dataset generated at the Baylor College of Medicine with samples provided by H3Africa PIs and collaborators, funded by the National Institutes of Health. The sequence data files are accompanied by minimal metadata, including country, ethnic group (where available) and sex.

• PEACE melanoma 14

  Understanding the evolutionary pathways to metastasis and resistance to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) in melanoma is critical for improving outcomes. Here we present the most comprehensive intra-patient metastatic melanoma dataset assembled to date as part of the PEACE research autopsy programme, including exome, panel-sequenced, RNA-seq, and single-cell whole-genome sequencing samples from 14 ICI-treated patients. The main goals of the project are to decipher the evolutionary dynamics of melanoma metastases and to elucidate mechnisms of resistance to therapies.

• Investigation of different library preparation and tissue of origin deconvolution methods for urine and plasma cfDNA methylome analysis

  In this study, a single- and a double-stranded library preparation approach was evaluated with respect to their technical biases when applied on cfDNA from plasma and urine. This study thus outlines potential limitations of double-stranded library preparation for methylation analysis of cfDNA especially for urinary cfDNA. While the double-stranded method allows jagged end analysis in addition to TOO analysis, it leads to significant methylation bias in urinary cfDNA, which single-stranded methods can overcome.

• MutWP5__CRUK_Mutographs_of_Cancer__Breast__Cancer_Mastectomy__Exome_

  Sequencing of LCM-derived microbiopsies from 30 women who underwent mastectomies due to a breast cancer diagnosis. Goal to assess the mutational burden, spectrum, and clonal dynamics within the tissue. Exome data will be used as a driver and clonality screen, highly clonal or driver-containing samples will subsequently be sent for whole-genome sequencing. Results from this portion of the study will be compared to women who had cosmetic breast reduction surgeries and those with germline BRCA 1/2 mutations.

• Comprehensive single-cell genome analysis at nucleotide resolution using the PTA Analysis Toolbox

  We developed a comprehensive bioinformatic workflow, called the PTA Analysis Toolbox (PTATO), to accurately detect single base substitutions, insertions-deletions (indels) and structural variants in PTA-based WGS data. PTATO includes a machine learning approach and filtering based on recurrency to distinguish PTA-artefacts from true mutations with high sensitivity (up to 90%), outperforming existing bioinformatic approaches. Our results show that PTATO enables studying somatic mutagenesis in the genomes of single cells with unprecedented sensitivity and accuracy.

• Exome_Sequencing__to_Identify_Causes_of_Leukaemia_Predisposing_Congenital_Neutropenias

  The objective of this study is to identify the causative genes in two unrelated congenital neutropenia families. We aim to whole exome sequence the affected individuals, unaffected siblings and parents in both cases in an effort to idenitfy the causative genetic mutation. Exome capture will be performed using Agilent SureSelect system. Subsequently, exome libraries will sequenced using the Illumina HiSeq platform. Sequence variant calling will be done in house and common variants excluded using public databases and data from unaffected family members.

• Genetic landscape of relapsed DLBCL

  Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is a heterogenous malignancy that can arise de novo or can result from histologic transformation from indolent lymphomas. Considerable sequencing effort has been placed on determining the mutations that are common at the time of diagnosis in DLBCL but little is known about the nature of relapsed disease. We have sequenced tumour and matched normal exomes of 38 rrDLBCL patients including 25 de novo DLBCLs and 13 transformed lymphomas to identify somatic mutations and copy number alterations associated with relapse.

• Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage patients with or without vasospasm

  Cerebellar vasospasm is a severe complication of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) occurring for 30% of aSAH patients. To date, no biomarker of vasospasm occurrence exists and thus all aSAH patients undergo a preventive and dangerous treatment. In this study, we explored the miRNome of aSAH patients to detect potential expression differences between the patients developing a vasospasm (VSP+) or not (VSP-). The shared data include raw and normalized count miRNA data in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage patients with or without vasospasm.
