The Genomic DNA Clean & Concentrator kit (ZYMO Research) was used to remove EDTA from the DNA samples. Sample libraries were prepared using 100 ng of input according to the KAPA HyperPlus Kit (Roche) using Unique Dual Index adapters (Integrated DNA Technologies, Inc.). Exomes were captured using the SeqCap EZ MedExome (Roche Nimblegen) according to SeqCap EZ HyperCap Library v1.0 Guide (Roche) with the xGen Universal blockers – TS Mix (Integrated DNA Technologies, Inc.). The amplified captured sample libraries were paired-end sequenced (2x100 bp) on the Novaseq 6000 platform (Illumina) and aligned to the hg19 reference genome using the Burrows-Wheeler Aligner (BWA)3, v0.7.15-r1140.

Sample libraries were prepped using 500 ng of input RNA according to the KAPA RNA HyperPrep Kit with RiboErase (HMR) (Roche) using Unique Dual Index adapters (Integrated DNA Technologies, Inc.). Amplified sample libraries were paired-end sequenced (2x100 bp) on the Novaseq 6000 platform (Illumina) and aligned against the human genome (hg19) using STAR v2.5.4b2.

ChIP-seq data were generated for a number of selected patients to investigate changes in enhancer and promoter regions. ChIP was performed as described previously with slight modifications27. Briefly, cells were crosslinked with 1% formaldehyde for 10 minutes at room temperature and the reaction was quenched with glycine at a final concentration of 0.125 M. Chromatin was sheared using the Covaris S220 focused-ultrasonicator to an average size of 250–350 bp. A total of 2.5 µg of antibody against H3K27ac (Abcam, ab4729) was added to sonicated chromatin of 2 × 106 cells and incubated overnight at 4 °C. Protein A sepharose beads (GE healthcare) were added to the ChIP reactions and incubated for 2 h at 4 °C. Beads were wa... (Read more)

ATAC-seq data were generated for a number of selected patients to investigate changes in enhancer and promoter regions. ATAC-seq was essentially carried out as described in31. Briefly, prior to transposition the viability of the cells was assessed and 1 × 106 cells were treated in culture medium with DNase I (Sigma) at a final concentration of 200 U ml−1 for 30 minutes at 37 °C. After Dnase I treatment, cells were washed twice with ice-cold PBS, and cell viability and the corresponding cell count were assessed. 5 × 104 cells were aliquoted into a new tube and spun down at 500 × g for 5 minutes at 4 °C, before the supernatant was discarded completely. The cell pellet was resuspended in 50 µl of ATAC-RSB buff... (Read more)
