• Diagnostic utility of clinical genome reanalysis in rare pediatric disorders using long-read sequencing

  More than half of presumed genetic disease cases remain undiagnosed following exome and/or short-read genome sequencing (SR-GS). Long-read genome sequencing (LR-GS) has emerged as a promising next step for uncovering etiologies missed by current standard-of-care SR genetic testing. However, structural variant (SV) interpretation remains a major challenge in LR-GS clinical pipelines, owing to limitations in SV call reliability, population allele frequency estimation, and evaluation of functional impact. To further develop strategies for the effective clinical use of LR-GS, we performed LR-GS using PacBio HiFi technology on 20 families with developmental disorders of suspected genetic origin and prior negative or inconclusive genetic testing (including exome and/or genome sequencing). Analysis was performed using a comprehensive pipeline integrating phased assembly– and read-based variant calling with LR-GS population allele frequency filtering. Phenotype-driven variant prioritization using Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) terms was performed using a combination of tertiary analysis solutions, including publicly (SvAnna) and commercially (Illumina Emedgene) available tools. Definitive diagnostic findings were identified in 1/20 (5%) families. Variants of suspicious diagnostic significance were identified in 6/20 (30%). All findings of diagnostic significance were clinically confirmed using the proband’s prior clinical SR sequencing results, demonstrating the value of reanalysis and highlighting differences in clinical interpretation. One case harbored a homozygous ~50 kb deletion of initial interest that was only detected with LR-GS; however, it was ruled inconclusive based on frequency data from LR-GS population databases, underscoring the necessity of population filtering for structural variant clinical interpretation. Collectively, the observed increase in diagnostic yield (by 35% including suspicious findings) in this exome-/SR-GS-negative clinical cohort was driven primarily by genome reanalysis rather than identification of variants unique to LR-GS data. Additional functional studies are necessary to elucidate the clinical relevance of suspicious findings.

• Whole_Genome_Sequencing_of_hiPS_cells

  Human induced pluripotent stem (hiPS) cells hold great promise for regenerative medicine. Safety issues of use of hiPS cells however remain to be addressed. One of such issues is mutations derived from somatic donor cells and introduced during genome manipulation. We sequence whole genomes of hiPS cells and analyzed mutations. Our study brings hiPS cell technology one step closer to application to regenerative medicine.

• The mutational landscape and its longitudinal dynamics in relapsed and refractory Hodgkin lymphoma

  In classical Hodgkin-lymphoma (cHL), only a few cases recur, and only a limited fraction of patients is primary-refractory to standard-polychemotherapy. Underlying genomic features of unfavorable clinical courses remain sparsely characterized. Here, we investigated the genomic characteristics of primary-refractory/relapsed cHL in contrast with long-term-responders (LTR). In total, data from 84 samples were submitted.

• Sample Multiplexing Oligo Comparison

  In this study, we compared various multiplexing reagents, including MULTI-Seq, Hashtag antibody, and CellPlex, in patient-derived xenografts (PDXs). We found that all multiplexing reagents worked well in cell types robust to ex vivo manipulation but suffered from signal-to-noise issues in more delicate sample types. We also compared the performance of fixed scRNA-Seq kits and CRISPR-based destruction of non-informative genes.

• Myocardial Infarction Genetics Exome Sequencing Consortium: Precocious Coronary Artery Disease Study

  The Precocious Coronary Artery Disease (PROCARDIS) study is an international, multicenter case-control study aimed at discovering the genetic contributors to premature coronary artery disease. All exome sequencing was performed at the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT; samples sequence capture was performed using Agilent SureSelect Human All Exon Kit v2 and sequencing was performed on an Illumina HiSeq 2000 or 2500.

• Ciliopathies Exome Sequencing Initiative

  The study is aimed at identifying new genes involved in pediatric brain disorders from inbred families originating predominantly in the Middle East. Each patient analyzed to date has a specific and highly unique neurodevelopmental disorder that is likely to be recessive in nature. Many patients have one of the diseases along the "ciliopathy" spectrum of diseases, with evidence of kidney failure, retinal blindness and cerebellar ataxia.

• Genetic Analysis of Limb Malformation Disorders: Freeman Sheldon Syndrome Exome Sequencing Study (LMD-FSS)

  The overall goal of this project is to investigate the etiology and pathogenesis of malformations (i.e., birth defects) of the limb, concentrating on abnormalities of limb patterning such as limb deficiency/duplications and multiple congenital contractures. The exome sequences of four unrelated individuals were obtained by massively parallel DNA sequencing. The three individuals were affected with Freeman Sheldon syndrome (OMIM: 193700).

• Developmental Dynamics of Translation in the Human Brain

  We performed ribosome profiling and RNA sequencing from a total of 43 adult brain and 30 prenatal brain samples. The age of adult brain donors ranged from 18 to 82 years (average 39.5 years), with an average post-mortem interval of 9.9 hours. The gestational age of prenatal cortex samples ranged from 12 to 23 weeks, with a mean of 19.9 weeks.

• Integrative Analysis of Lung Adenocarcinoma in Never Smokers

  We performed whole genome sequencing of lung cancers from never smoker subjects from Institut universitaire de cardiologie et de pneumologie de Québec - Université Laval (IUCPQ-UL) (N=125), Université Côte d'Azur (Nice) (N=47), the Environment And Genetics in Lung cancer Etiology (EAGLE) study (N=27), Yale University (N=22), and Moffitt Cancer Cente (N=11).

• Single Cell Omics Resolves Transcriptional Alterations in Sjogren's Syndrome

  Single cell omics resolves transcriptional alterations in Sjogren's Syndrome. This data compares the single cell transcriptional profiles of the minor salivary glands between Sjogren’s Syndrome patients and non-Sjogren’s Syndrome subjects. Portions of this data were reported in two separate publications: Huang & Perez, et al., 2021 Nature Medicine and Yin, et al., 2021, Frontiers in Immunology .
