Genome and transcriptome sequencing of cancer of unknown primary tumours

Genome and transcriptome sequencing of cancer of unknown primary tumours was used to determine yield of clinical biomarkers for a molecular guided trial or for resolving cancer type of origin. This study includes profiling of germline DNA and tumour DNA by whole genome sequencing of tissue and cfDNA biopsies, as well as targeted genome sequencing using two panels, including Comprehensive cancer panel (CCP) and TruSight Oncology 500 (TSO500). This study also includes profiling of tumour RNA by whole transcriptome sequencing.

Dataset ID	Description	Technology	Samples
EGAD50000000655	This database includes comprehensive cancer panel (CCP) on paired tumour and germline DNA from cancer of unknown primary samples, all of which are matched to WGS data under this study. This data was used to compare biomarker yield against what was achieved with WGS. This dataset contains n=34 tumour-germline paired samples. All samples are in BAM format aligned with GRCh38 reference genome.	Illumina NovaSeq 6000	68
EGAD50000000656	Whole genome and transcriptome sequencing of cancer of unknown primary tumours was used to determine yield of clinical biomarkers for a molecular guided trial or for resolving cancer type of origin. This study includes profiling of germline DNA and tumour DNA and RNA by whole genome and transcriptome sequencing. All samples are in BAM format aligned with GRCh38 reference genome. This dataset includes: 1. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) of 78 cancer of unknown primary tumour samples and 73 matched germline DNA. 2. Whole transcriptome sequencing (WTS) of 69 cancer of unknown primary tumour samples (matched to WGS cases) 3. Whole genome sequencing of 22 cell-free DNA samples from cancer of unknown primary patients and matched Germaine DNA(8 samples matched to tumour WGS)	Illumina NovaSeq 6000	264
EGAD50000000657	TruSight Oncology 500 (TSO500) cancer panel sequencing data on paired tumour and germline DNA from cancer of unknown primary samples. All of the samples in this dataset are matched to WGS data. This data was used to compare biomarker yield against what was achieved with WGS and contains n=51 tumour-only samples. All samples are in BAM format aligned with GRCh38 reference genome.	Illumina NovaSeq 6000	51
