• Genomes of Relapsing Neuroblastoma

  Neuroblastoma is a malignancy of the developing sympathetic nervous system that is often lethal when relapse occurs, but the molecular mechanisms behind this process are poorly defined. We here used whole-exome sequencing, mRNA expression, array CGH and DNA methylation analysis to holistically characterize 16 paired samples from neuroblastoma patients at diagnosis and relapse. The mutational burden significantly increased in relapsing tumors accompanied by altered mutational signatures and reduced subclonal heterogeneity. Global allele frequencies at relapse indicated clonal mutation selection during disease progression. Promoter methylation patterns were consistent over disease course and patient-specific. Recurrent alterations at relapse included mutations in the putative CHD5 neuroblastoma tumor suppressor, chromosome 9p losses, DOCK8 mutations, inactivating mutations in PTPN14 and a relapse-specific activity pattern for the PTPN14 target gene, YAP. Recurrent new mutations in HRAS, KRAS, DOCK8 and genes mediating cell-cell interaction in 13/16 relapse tumors also indicate disturbances in signaling pathways mediating mesenchymal transition. Our data shed first light on genetic alteration frequency, identity and evolution in neuroblastoma.

• The demographic history and mutational load of African hunter-gatherers and farmers

  The distribution of deleterious genetic variation across human populations is a key issue in evolutionary biology and medical genetics. However, the impact of different modes of subsistence on recent changes in population size, patterns of gene flow, and deleterious mutational load remains unclear. Here, we report high-coverage exomes from various populations of rainforest hunter-gatherers and farmers from central Africa. We find that the recent demographic histories of hunter-gatherers and farmers differed considerably, with population collapses for hunter-gatherers and expansions for farmers, accompanied by increased gene flow. We show that purifying selection against newly arising deleterious alleles is of similar efficiency across African populations, in contrast with Europeans where we detect weaker purifying selection. Furthermore, the per-individual mutation load of rainforest hunter-gatherers is similar to that of farmers, under both additive and recessive models. Our results indicate that differences in the cultural practices and demographic regimes of African populations have not resulted in large differences in mutational burden, and highlight the beneficial role of gene flow in reshaping the distribution of deleterious genetic variation across human populations.

• RNA-Sequencing of cervical cancers

  We used RNA sequencing of 81 cervical cancer specimens to developed an immune-based gene expression signature to predict distant metastasis in cervical cancer patients treated with RT/cisplatin. Our 55-gene risk score, validated across independent cohorts, was strongly linked to higher rates of metastasis and lower survival. The score also correlated with higher copy-number alteration and a less immune-responsive tumor microenvironment, indicating its potential in identifying high-risk patients and informing targeted therapies.

• Multiome_HB

  Hepatoblastoma (HB) cells display strong phenotypic heterogeneity with a major impact on drug response, but the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, we use a single-cell multi-omic strategy to unravel the molecular determinants of this plasticity. HB display a continuum of single-cell states between hepatocytic (scH), liver progenitor (scLP) and mesenchymal (scM) differentiation poles, with an intermediate scH/LP population bordering scLP and scH areas in spatial transcriptomics. Chromatin accessibility landscapes reveal the gene regulatory networks of each differentiation pole, and the sequence of transcription factor activation underlying cell state transitions. Single-cell mapping of somatic alterations reveals the clonal architecture of each tumor, showing that each genetic subclone displays its own range of cellular plasticity across differentiation poles. The most scLP subclones, overexpressing stem cell and DNA repair genes, proliferate faster after neo-adjuvant chemotherapy. These results highlight how the interplay of clonal evolution and epigenetic plasticity shapes the potential of HB subclones to respond to chemotherapy.

• Full AfricanNeo ModernDNA Study

  With the largest genomic dataset to date of Bantu-speaking populations, including newly generated data of modern-day and ancient DNA from previously unsampled regions in Africa, we shed fresh light on the expansion of peoples speaking Bantu languages that started ~4000 years ago in western Africa. We have genotyped 1,763 participants, including 1,487 Bantu speakers from 143 populations across 14 African countries. Our comprehensive genetic analysis of the expansion of people speaking Bantu languages reveals a complex history of serial founder events, variable levels of contact with local groups, and spread-over-spread events.

• Spatiotemporal single-cell roadmap of human skin wound healing

  Wound healing is vital for human health, yet the details of cellular dynamics and coordination in human wound repair remain largely unexplored. To address this, we conducted single-cell and spatial transcriptomics analyses on human skin and acute wound tissues through inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling phases of wound repair from the same individuals, monitoring the cellular and molecular dynamics of human skin wound healing at an unprecedented spatiotemporal resolution. Comparison with single-cell data from venous and diabetic foot ulcers uncovers a link between failed keratinocyte migration and impaired inflammatory response in chronic wounds.

• Sequence data to study genomic CNVs that drive apoptotic resistance and relapses on immune checkpoint inhibitors

  This project investigates the genomic mechanisms underlying acquired resistance to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) across tumor types, addressing the critical clinical problem of treatment relapses where the molecular basis remains poorly understood. Through integrative genomic analyses of longitudinal clinical melanomas, functional CRISPR-Cas9 screens, and human and murine melanoma models, the study demonstrates that copy-number variant (CNV)-driven subclonal evolution is a primary driver of clinical relapses. The research identifies resistance-driver genes targeted by CNVs, including pro-apoptotic gene deletions and anti-apoptotic gene amplifications, which collectively downregulate apoptotic priming in resistant cells. The findings establish that modulating the apoptotic threshold can prevent or reverse ICI resistance, positioning CNV evolution as a key driver of acquired resistance and identifying apoptotic regulation as a therapeutic target to combat resistance evolution.

• Whole-exome and targeted sequencing of pediatric hyperdiploid B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia

  High hyperdiploidy defines the largest genetic entity of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Despite its relatively low recurrence risk, this subgroup generates a high proportion of relapses. The cause and origin of these relapses remains obscure. We therefore explored the mutational landscape in high hyperdiploid (HD) ALL with whole-exome (n=19) and subsequent targeted deep sequencing of 60 genes in 100 relapsing and 51 non-relapsing cases. We identified multiple clones at diagnosis that were primarily defined by a variety of mutations in receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK)/Ras pathway and chromatin-modifying genes. The relapse clones consisted of reappearing as well as new mutations, and overall contained more mutations. Although RTK/Ras pathway mutations were similarly frequent between diagnosis and relapse, both intergenic and intragenic heterogeneity was essentially lost at relapse. CREBBP mutations, however, increased from initially 18-30% at relapse, then commonly co-occurred with KRAS mutations (P<0.001) and these relapses appeared primarily early (P=0.012). Our results confirm the exceptional susceptibility of HD ALL to RTK/Ras pathway and CREBBP mutations, but, more importantly, suggest that mutant KRAS and CREBBP might cooperate and equip cells with the necessary capacity to evolve into a relapse-generating clone.

• Acral Melanoma PDXs from the admixed Brazilian Population - filtered PDX sample BAM files - RNAseq

  BAM files containing the whole exome data for the Patient Derived Xenograft samples mapped to build GRCh38. All files have been processed with XenofilteR to remove mouse reads. Acral melanoma (AM) is an aggressive melanoma subtype with limited therapeutic options and poor outcomes. In non-European descent and admixed populations, like in Latin America, it can account for a significant proportion of cutaneous melanoma cases. Here, we performed comprehensive genomic and functional profiling of AM from a uniquely diverse Brazilian cohort. Whole-exome and transcriptome sequencing was performed on both tumours and patient-derived xenograft (PDX) samples. The PDX were obtained from a comprehensive collection of patient-derived xenograft (AM-PDX) models that we established which faithfully retained the histopathological and genomic features of the original tumours.

• NHLBI TOPMed: Stanford Cardiovascular Institute iPSC Biobank Study (SCVI)

  The proposed Stanford Cardiovascular Institute (SCVI) Biorepository will curate and manage an expanded collection of human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines and provide investigators with iPSC materials generated using standardized protocols, with the overall objective of promoting the continued adoption and development of iPSC technology in cardiovascular research. Human iPSCs have revolutionized disease modeling, drug screening, and therapeutic research. However, it is also recognized that the need for specialized technical expertise and the associated cost have largely prevented individual research laboratories from adopting iPSC models in their inquiries, particularly in studies requiring multiple cell lines. To address this bottleneck, the proposed Biorepository will maintain our existing collection of iPSC lines and further expand the collection of iPSCs by recruiting 1,000 healthy, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) donors of both sexes and diverse racial/ethnic backgrounds (African Americans, Asians, Hispanics, and Whites).

• Patient-derived organoids as a novel tool to study cervical cancer

  Cervical cancer is the most prevalent gynecological malignancy worldwide, often caused by infection with a high-risk human papillomavirus. Currently, there are only limited number of human-derived culture systems available that enable to study the viral infection for short-term. Here, we report on establishment of long-term human-derived organoid cultures from both healthy ecto- and endocervical epithelia that closely recapitulate the tissues of origin by maintaining the authentic histological and tissue-specific gene expression profiles. Additionally, using material from patients’ Pap-brush material, a successful panel of long-term patient-derived cancer organoids was established that maintain the causative viral infection in vitro and show differential response to common chemotherapy regimens. This study provides a promising platform for cervical cancer research and studying direct virus-host interactions.

• Paired DNA and RNA sequencing uncovers common and rare genomic variants regulating gene expression in the human retina

  In this study, we uncovered common and rare genomic variants shaping retinal expression profiles. This includes 1,483,595 significant cis-expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) impacting 9,959 and 3,699 genes in NSR and RPE, respectively, with associated genomic variants enriched to cis-candidate regulatory elements and notable shared eGenes between NSR and RPE. We also detected 1051 expression outliers and prioritised 299 rare non-coding single-nucleotide, structural variants or copy number variants as plausible drivers for 28% of outlier events. This study increases understanding of gene expression regulation in the human retina.

• Metabolic context regulates the competitive fitness of oncogenic PIK3CA mutant clones in the normal esophagus

  Activating mutations in PIK3CA generate large clones in the aging human esophagus. Here we investigate the underlying cellular mechanisms regulating their expansion by lineage tracing. Expression of an activating heterozygous Pik3caH1047R mutation in single progenitor cells of the mouse esophagus tilts cell fate towards proliferation, generating mutant clones that outcompete their wild type neighbours. The mutation leads to increased aerobic glycolysis through the activation of Hif1α transcriptional targets. In vitro and in vivo interventions that level out differences in activation of the PI3K/HIF1α/aerobic glycolysis axis between wild type and Pik3caH1047R cells attenuate the competitive advantage of the mutants. In contrast, metabolic conditions that alter Insulin/PI3K signalling, such as type-1 diabetes or diet-induced insulin resistance, further increase Pik3caH1047R mutant competitiveness in mice. Consistently, the density of activating PIK3CA mutations in human esophagus is increased in overweight individuals. We conclude that the metabolic environment influences the mutational landscape of normal epithelia. Clinically feasible interventions that even out signalling imbalances between wild type and mutant cells may therefore limit the expansion of oncogenic mutants in normal tissues.

• Single cell RNA sequencing and Whole Genome Sequencing on different cells from the same sample for a triple negative patient derived xenograft and ovarian cancer cell lines.

  Measuring gene expression of genomically defined tumour clones at single cell resolution would associate functional consequences to somatic alterations, as a prelude to elucidating pathways driving cell population growth, resistance and relapse. In the absence of scalable methods to simultaneously assay DNA and RNA from the same single cell, independent sampling of cell populations for parallel measurement of single cell DNA and single cell RNA must be computationally mapped for genome-transcriptome association. Here we present clonealign, a robust statistical framework to assign gene expression states to cancer clones using single-cell RNA-seq and DNA-seq independently sampled from an heterogeneous cancer cell population. We apply clonealign to triple-negative breast cancer patient derived xenografts and high-grade serous ovarian cancer cell lines and discover clone-specific dysregulated biological pathways not visible using either DNA-Seq or RNA-Seq alone.

• Pervasive H3K27 acetylation and ERV expression in H3.3K27M gliomas present a therapeutic vulnerability

  High-grade gliomas (HGG) defined by histone 3 K27M driver mutations exhibit global loss of H3K27 trimethylation and reciprocal gain of H3K27 acetylation, respectively shaping repressive and active chromatin landscapes. We generated tumor-derived isogenic models bearing this mutation and show that it leads to pervasive H3K27ac deposition across the genome. In turn, active enhancers and promoters are not created de novo and instead reflect the epigenomic landscape of the cell of origin. H3K27ac is enriched at repeat elements, resulting in their increased expression, which in turn can be further amplified by DNA demethylation and histone deacetylase inhibitors providing an exquisite therapeutic vulnerability. These agents may therefore modulate anti-tumor immune responses as a therapeutic modality for this untreatable disease.

• Clonal Evolution and Transcriptional Plasticity Shape Metastatic Dissemination Routes in Prostate Cancer

  This study provides comprehensive insights into the genetic and transcriptomic landscape of prostate cancer, highlighting significant clonal heterogeneity, transcriptional plasticity, and metastatic spread patterns. We examined the clonal evolution and metastatic dissemination of prostate cancer by integrating single-nuclei RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) and low-pass whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data from 43 spatially distinct tumour samples in five patients with locally advanced disease. By reconstructing the evolutionary trajectories of each tumour, we identified distinct patterns of tumour evolution, including both monophyletic and polyphyletic metastatic dissemination, as well as ongoing primary tumour clonal evolution after metastatic spread. We observed converging changes leading to metastatic potential, such as androgen receptor independence and increased activity in the estrogen, WNT, and JAK/STAT pathways in identified seeding areas. These findings enhance our understanding of the disease's progression and may inform future therapeutic strategies.

• Multiple Myeloma Total Therapy trial patient sequencing

  The study of multiple myeloma (MM) genomics has identified many abnormalities that are associated with poor progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Copy number abnormalities have been extensively studied in many datasets with long follow-up, however, the prognostic impact of mutations have not been extensively studied and available datasets have generally had a relatively short follow-up. These analyses have identified a range of mutations that are associated with prognosis, making it important to extend these observations in larger studies with robust diagnostic technologies. Samples from newly diagnosed MM patients enrolled in Total Therapy trials (n=225) were sequenced on a targeted panel consisting of 140 genes and additional regions of interest for copy number, as well as tiling of the Ig and MYC loci for detection of translocations. Samples were sequenced to a median depth of 452x using 2x75 bp paired end reads. Reads were aligned to hg19 and mutations called using Strelka and filtered with fpfilter. Translocations were called by Manta, and copy number determined by read depth ratio and loss of heterozygosity comparison with a patient matched non-tumor sample. DNA was obtained from either CD138+ cells from the bone marrow of multiple myeloma patients (tumor) or from stem cell harvests or peripheral blood cells from the same patient (control). 100 ng of DNA was fragmented, end-repaired, and adapters ligated using the HyperPlus kit (KAPA Biosystems). After PCR amplification the libraries were hybridized with probes against either a targeted panel consisting of 140 genes and chromosomal regions (Nimblegen) using SeqCap reagents (Nimblegen). Hybridized libraries underwent further amplification before being sequenced on a NextSeq500 (Illumina) using 75 bp paired end reads There are 450 (225 tumor and 225 germline) samples in this study. 263 are available as part of this dataset.

• Comprehensive analysis of atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumour (ATRT) using genomic, epigenomic and transcriptomic techniques.

  ATRTs (Atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumours) represent one of the most aggressive pediatric brain cancers, but intriguingly exhibit few other recurrently mutated loci except for SMARCB1/hSNF5. We integrated whole genome (n=15), exome, copy number, gene expression and methylation analyses to comprehensively interrogate 64 ATRTs and observed that structural events were relatively frequent in the ATRT genome (~3 tumour). In addition to SMARCB1, which was targeted by structural events in a majority (49/64) of tumours, recurrent structural alterations targeting the LRP1B, CDH13, BCR and MKL1 loci were observed. We observed novel translocation events, including 2 targeting SMARCB1 which were detected only by NGS analyses. Significantly, integration of gene expression and methylation profiles with genomic analyses revealed ATRT comprise two sub-groups with distinct clinical and genetic features. Group 1 tumours were characterized by supra-tentorial brain location, focal intragenic alterations of SMARCB1 and a pro-neural gene expression signature with evidence of NOTCH pathway activation. While Group 2 ATRTs were characterized by infra-tentorial brain location, broad SMARCB1 alterations and an activation of the BMP signalling pathway. Our findings highlight epigenetic mechanisms as important determinants of ATRT tumour phenotypes, and demonstrate for the first time that ATRTs arising in different anatomical compartments comprise distinct molecular and therapeutic sub-groups.

• shallow WGS and deep targeted panel on ctDNA in rhabdomyosarcomas

  The genomic spectrum of rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) progression from primary to relapse is not fully understood. In this study we investigate 35 patients with relapsed RMS from two contributing institutions, 18 fusion-positive (FP-RMS) and 17 fusion-negative RMS (FN-RMS). Targeted DNA or whole exome sequencing (WES) was used to detect alterations in paired primary/relapsed samples. In 10 cases, circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) from multiple timepoints through clinical care and progression was analyzed for feasibility of liquid biopsy in monitoring treatment response/relapse. ctDNA alterations were evaluated using a targeted custom RMS panel (36 genes) at high coverage for single nucleotide variation and fusion detection, and a shallow whole genome sequencing for copy number variation. FP-RMS had a stable genome with relapse, with the most common secondary alterations : CDKN2A/B, MYCN and CDK4 alterations, being already present at diagnosis and impacting overall survival. FP-RMS lacking major secondary events at baseline acquired recurrent MYCN and AKT1 alterations. FN-RMS acquired a higher number of new alterations, most commonly SMARCA2 missense mutations. ctDNA analyses detected pathognomonic variants in all RMS patients at diagnosis, regardless of FP/FN or type of alterations, while at relapse selected alterations were confirmed in 86% of FP-RMS and 100% FN-RMS. Moreover, a higher number of fusion reads was detected with increased disease burden and at relapse in patients following a fatal outcome. These results underscore patterns of tumor progression within a relatively stable genomic landscape and provide rationale for using liquid biopsy to monitor treatment response.

• A practical guide for mutational signature analysis in hematological malignancies

  Analysis of mutational signatures is becoming routine in cancer genomics, with implications for pathogenesis, classification, prognosis, and even treatment decisions. However, the field lacks a consensus on analysis and result interpretation. Using whole-genome sequencing of multiple myeloma (MM), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and acute myeloid leukemia, we compare the performance of public signature analysis tools. We describe caveats and pitfalls of de novo signature extraction and fitting approaches, reporting on common inaccuracies: erroneous signature assignment, identification of localized hyper-mutational processes, overcalling of signatures. We provide reproducible solutions to solve these issues and use orthogonal approaches to validate our results. We show how a comprehensive mutational signature analysis may provide relevant biological insights, reporting evidence of c-AID activity among unmutated CLL cases or the absence of BRCA1/BRCA2-mediated homologous recombination deficiency in a MM cohort. Finally, we propose a general analysis framework to ensure production of accurate and reproducible mutational signature data.

• Comprehensive genomic analysis of colorectal cancer with microsatellite instability

  Microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) colorectal cancers (CRCs) account for 10?15% of all CRCs. MSI-H CRC is characterized by a large number of somatic insertions/deletions (indels) resulting from either mutations within or the silencing of genes involved in the DNA mismatch repair (MMR) system. A subset of MSI-H CRCs is associated with Lynch syndrome (LS), which is caused by germline MMR gene mutations, leading to hereditary cancer predisposition. Other than frequent somatic mutations in BRAF, the transformation mechanisms underlying MSI-H CRC are largely unknown. Here, genomic DNA from 149 MSI-H CRC specimens was analyzed using whole-exome sequencing, and 93 of these samples were subjected to genome-wide DNA methylation analysis. Furthermore, transcriptome sequencing was conducted on 111 samples. Genomic/epigenomic analyses identified three subgroups within our cohort: (1) MSI-H CRCs with silenced MLH1 that share frequent indels, a specific mutation/copy number alteration profile and promoter DNA methylation; (2) LS-associated MSI-H CRCs with MMR genes containing germline mutations; and (3) the remaining MSI-H CRCs with frequent somatic disruptive mutations of MLH1 or MSH2. Unexpectedly, only the first group was found to frequently carry fusion-type protein kinases (15% of this group and 9.9% of all MSI-H CRCs) that are promising therapeutic targets. Thus, MSI-H CRCs can be classified into three subgroups with distinctive genomic as well as epigenomic statuses, probably reflecting the oncogenic processes of these cancers. Fusion-type kinases are enriched in MSI-H CRCs, shedding new light on potential treatment strategies.

• Sequencing data from triple-negative breast cancer tumors

  Autoimmunity and anti-cancer immunity lie on the same biological continuum1,2, but their link remains obscure. The paraneoplastic neurological syndrome anti-NMDA receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis (ANRE) is a paradigm for their connectivity3 given that intratumoral NMDAR expression correlates with the generation of anti-NMDAR antibodies4,5. Here, we verify ectopic expression of GluN1 and GluN2B NMDAR sub-units in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC)6 and model this using orthotopic TNBC tumors with inducible expression of GluN1-GluN2B NMDARs. We show that NMDAR expression is sufficient to induce B cell recruitment and their affinity maturation, consistent with an integrated adaptive immune response. Reconstruction of extended intratumoral B cell phylogenies and cryo-EM structural analyses demonstrated that affinity-matured hypermutated and class-switched antibodies emerged from pre-existing germline-configuration lower-affinity anti-NMDAR antibodies. Distinct matured antibodies targeted specific epitopes and induced conformational rearrangements within the NMDAR amino-terminal domain, predictive of their functional effects, ranging from inhibition to potentiation. Passive transfer of an NMDAR-potentiating antibody caused autonomic dysregulation and lowered the seizure threshold in healthy female mice, recapitulating key diagnostic criteria of ANRE4,5. We further identify a correlation between intratumoral NMDAR expression and anti-NMDAR antibody titers in TNBC patients. Taken together, our data establish a direct connection between intratumoral NMDAR expression, antibody maturation, and the onset of autoimmunity. These findings suggest that germline-encoded anti-NMDAR antibodies contribute to immune surveillance but can also trigger autoimmune disease upon maturation, revealing a mechanistic tradeoff between cancer immunity and neurotoxicity.

• The transition from quiescent to activated states in human hematopoietic stem cells is governed by dynamic 3D genome reorganization

  To elucidate the epigenetic changes which occur when human long-term hematopoietic stem cells (LT-HSC) become activated we performed Bulk ATAC-Seq on 13 sorted bulk hematopoietic populations from cord bloodas well as single-cell ATAC-Seq upon CD34+CD38-CD45RA- cells enriched for HSC as well as CD34+/CD38+ progenitor cells both from cord blood. These studies revealed gains of chromatin accessibility around CTCF binding sites during HSPC activation, as such we additionally performed Low-C to directly profile the 3D conformation of human cord-blood derived LT-HSC and Short-term hematopoietic stem cells (ST-HSC), as well as Hi-C , ATAC-Seq and CTCF ChIP-Seq upon the OCIAML-2 cell line in which CTCF sites gained during LT-HSC activation are enriched. Finally we transduced human cord-blood LT-HSC with an shCTCF vector; in-vitro cultured LT-HSC cells harbouring shCTCF were used to perform RNA-Seq, and scATAC-Seq was performed on CD34+/CD38- human CB cells transduced with shCTCF, four weeks post xeno-transplantation into mice. Collectively these studies have helped us demonstrate the role of 3D chromatin conformation changes during human LT-HSC activation.

• MPNST - WGS FASTQ

  Understanding the spatial and temporal dynamics of tumour evolution is crucial for determining the drivers of cancer progression. Here, we comprehensively profile a primary malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumour (MPNST) and its recurrence with a multi-omic and spatial approach at single-cell resolution. Leveraging the extensive heterogeneity in copy number aberrations (CNAs) as a native barcoding system, we fully resolve the evolutionary tree of this tumour revealing multi-furcations suggestive of ongoing chromosomal instability. We show gene dosage effects contribute to phenotypic diversity and are predominantly linear. Using laser capture microdissection, we performed spatial lineage tracing in a human tumour, elucidating the relationship between local expansions and interactions between tumour cells and the microenvironment.

• Phenotypic Signatures of Circulating Neoantigen-Reactive CD8+ T Cells in Patients with Metastatic Cancers

  Following enrichment of neoantigen-reactive T cells using pHLA tetramers or cell-surface markers, we performed single-cell sequencing (RNA-seq and TCR-seq) of circulating CD8+ T cells from metastatic cancer patient samples (Melanoma, Colorectal, and Breast cancer). In samples from previously studied patients, we identified cells bearing neoantigen-reactive T cell receptors and were able to study their phenotypic program. By studying the circulating neoantigen-reactive T cell program, a gene-signature was derived to identify neoantigen-reactive T cells from blood samples prospectively.
