Detection and genomic analysis of BRAF fusions in Juvenile Pilocytic Astrocytoma through the combination and integration of multi-omic data
Juvenile Pilocytic Astrocytoma (JPAs) are highly vascular tumors and show pervasive immune infiltration, which can lead to low tumor cell purity in clinical samples. In some instances, this results in gene fusions that are difficult to detect with conventional omics approaches including RNA-Seq. To this effect, we applied RNA-Seq as well as linked-read whole-genome sequencing and in situ Hi-C as new approaches to detect and characterize low-frequency gene fusions at the genomic, transcriptomic and spatial level. Overall, we demonstrate the power of integrating multi-omic datasets to identify low frequency fusions and characterize the JPA genome at high resolution.

T cell reactivity of MHC epitopes
By using >36,000 immunogenicity assay results, we developed a method to identify peptide-MHC complexes whose structural alignment facilitates T cell reaction. Our method accurately predicted neoepitopes for MHC II as well as MHC I that were responsive to checkpoint blockade when applied to >1,200 samples of various tumor types and on-therapy melanoma samples. To investigate selection by spontaneous immunity at the single epitope level, we analyzed the frequency spectrum of >25 million mutations in >9,000 treatment-naïve tumors in association with >100 immune phenotypes. MHC II immunogenicity specifically lowered variant frequencies in tumors under high immune pressure particularly with high TCR clonality and MHC II expression.

Transcriptomic analysis of cell-of-origin CNS neuroblastoma, FOXR2 activated
The transcription factor FOXR2 is the universal driver of childhood central nervous system neuroblastoma, FOXR2 activated (NB-FOXR2). NB-FOXR2 tumors arise exclusively in the brain hemispheres, and despite morphological similarities to other pediatric brain tumors, they are a molecularly distinct entity based on DNA methylation profiling. The cell-of-origin is unknown. Here, we profiled a cohort of rare NB-FOXR2 tumors by bulk and single-cell transcriptomics. Through systematic comparative analyses, we delineate tumor transcriptional states and candidate cell-of-origin. More broadly, we demonstrate systematic molecular profiling of childhood cancers to orient oncogenic targeting for in vivo modeling, a critical resource for the study of rare tumors and development of therapeutics.

Genomic profiling of IBC
We collected matched pretreatment blood and tumor samples from 19 patients with primary TN-IBC enrolled in a phase II clinical trial (NCT02876107). Patients were treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) or the anti-EGFR antibody panitumumab (PmAb) plus NAC (PmAb/NAC). We conducted whole-exome sequencing, RNA sequencing, and CIBERSORT analyses for these TN-IBC samples and compare the genetic and molecular profiles with similarly analyzed stage III TN-non-IBC patient samples. We also compared the genetic and molecular characteristics of TN-IBC in patients who had a pathologic complete response (pCR) to NAC or PmAb/NAC treatment, a suitable surrogate endpoint for IBC, with those who did not have pCR (non-pCR).

Genetic landscape of pediatric Medulloblastoma
Medulloblastoma is a heterogenous disease made up of at least four distinct subtypes of disease which appear to exploit and disrupt naturally occurring developmental pathways of cellular growth and hindbrain development. To better understand the driver mutations of this disease, we performed whole genome sequencing of 37 medulloblastomas and the corresponding normal DNA of the 37 affected children treated at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. We have found several novel mutations which appear subtype specific. These mutations were checked for frequency in a separate tumor cohort of 56 children with medulloblastoma, also treated on the St. Jude Medulloblastoma 2003 trial, and were tested in several animal models of medulloblastoma for proof of oncogenic potential.

Oncogenic FOXL2C134W has gain-of-function chromatin remodeling activity that reprograms glucocorticoid receptor occupancy to promote ovarian granulosa cell tumor growth
Adult type ovarian granulosa cell tumors (AGCTs) are rare malignancies with near universal somatic mutation c.C402G (p.Cys134Trp) in FOXL2, a forkhead box-family transcription factor important for ovarian function. Relapsed AGCT is incurable and the mechanism of the unique FOXL2 mutation remains incompletely understood. To identify FOXL2C134W-dependent pharmacologic synergies, we created and characterized endogenous FOXL2 isogenic AGCT cells and an AGCT tumoroid biobank. A drug screen identified that glucocorticoids promote FOXL2C134W-dependent AGCT growth. Epigenetic investigation revealed that the Cys134Trp mutation exposes latent DNA sequence-specific pioneering activity in FOXL2, a unique oncogenic mechanism. FOXL2C134W pioneering activity redirects glucocorticoid receptor chromatin occupancy to drive hyaluronan synthase 2 gene expression and increase extracellular hyaluronan secretion. Treatment of AGCT models with hyaluronidase reduces viability and this effect can be rescued by dexamethasone. Thus, gain-of-function pioneering activity contributes to the oncogenic mechanism of FOXL2C134W and creates a potentially targetable synergy with glucocorticoid signaling.

Machine learning to detect the SINEs of cancer
We previously described an approach called RealSeqS to evaluate aneuploidy in plasma cell-free DNA (cfDNA) through the amplification of ~350,000 repeated elements with a single primer. We hypothesized that an unbiased evaluation of the large amount of sequencing data obtained with RealSeqS might reveal other differences between plasma samples from patients with and without cancer. This hypothesis was tested through the development of a novel machine-learning approach called Alu Profile Learning Using Sequencing (A-PLUS) and its application to samples from 5108 individuals, 2037 with cancer and the remainder without cancer. Samples from cancer patients and controls were pre-specified into four cohorts used for: 1) model training, 2) analyte integration and threshold determination, 3) validation, and 4) reproducibility. A-PLUS alone provided a sensitivity of 40.5% across 11 different cancer types in the Validation Cohort, at a specificity of 98.5%. Combining A-PLUS with aneuploidy and 8 common protein biomarkers detected 51% of 1167 cancers at 98.9% specificity. We found that part of the power of A-PLUS could be ascribed to a single feature – the global reduction of AluS sub-family elements in the circulating DNA of cancer patients. We confirmed this reduction through the analysis of another independent dataset obtained with a very different approach (whole genome sequencing). The evaluation of Alu elements therefore has the potential to enhance the performance of several methods designed for the earlier detection of cancer.

Analysis of CD20 loss in patients treated with Mosunetuzumab
CD20 is an established therapeutic target in B-cell malignancies. The CD20xCD3 bispecific antibody mosunetuzumab has significant efficacy in B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL). Since target antigen loss is a recognized mechanism of resistance, we evaluated the contribution of CD20 expression to clinical response in patients with relapsed and/or refractory NHL in the phase 1/2 GO29781 trial (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02500407) investigating mosunetuzumab monotherapy. CD20 was studied using immunohistochemistry (IHC), RNA sequencing, and whole-exome sequencing performed centrally in biopsies collected prior to treatment, or as paired samples at pre-dose and on-treatment, or at-progression. Prior to treatment, most patients exhibited a high proportion of tumor cells expressing CD20; however, the proportion of CD20+ tumor cells in 14/293 (6%) patients was <10%. Analyses of paired biopsies from patients during treatment revealed that CD20 levels were maintained in 29/30 (97%), vs patients with samples at-progression, in which 11/32 (34%) showed CD20 loss. Reduced transcription or acquisition of truncating mutations explained most but not all cases of CD20 loss. In vitro modeling confirmed the effect of CD20 variants identified in clinical samples on reduction of CD20 expression and confirmed missense mutations in the extracellular domain that could block mosunetuzumab binding. This study expands knowledge about the occurrence of target antigen loss after anti-CD20 therapeutics to CD20-targeting bispecific antibodies and elucidates the underlying mechanisms for reduced CD20 expression at disease progression that may be generalizable to other anti-CD20 targeting agents. These results also establish the utility of readily-available IHC staining for CD20 as a tool to inform clinical decisions.

Identification_of_drug_resistance_genes_in_cancer_cell_lines_by_insertional_mutagenesis
Our aim is to identify genes involved in resistance to anti-cancer therapies. In order to do this we have taken advantage of a lentiviral vector (LV)-based insertional mutagen to mutagenize cancer cell lines. LV-transduced cell lines were then treated with anti-cancer therapies and the emergence of resistant clones scored. DNA from pools of resistant clones was collected, subjected to custom capture by baits designed against the LV sequence, and then sequenced to identify the LV-genomic junction. We hope that the identification of recurrently targeted genes in resistant cell population will allow us to identify genes that mediate drug resistance.

Heterogeneous Genomic Evolution and Immune Microenvironments in Metastatic Lung Cancer
The mechanism underlying the occurrence of lung cancer metastasis to different tissues/organs remains elusive. We investigated the genomic evolution and immune microenvironments of paired primary-metastatic tumors by employing multi-region whole-exome sequencing in 179 samples of 106 tumors from 51 lung cancer patients and subsequent immunohistochemistry assays in 70 of them. Our data revealed differences in genomic landscapes, molecular determinants, evolutionary dynamics, and lymphocyte infiltration among different metastatic sites. We demonstrated commonly late arising of metastatic seeding of lung cancer with quantitative evidence. Most distant metastases originated from independent origins of earlier lymph node spreads. Immune-heterogeneity and -homogeneity were primarily driven by arm-level and focal copy number events in primary tumors, respectively. These findings implied the combinatorial role of multiple factors in shaping patterns of dissemination and advanced the clinical evaluation and intervention of lung cancer metastasis.

Germline variants in the SEMA4A gene predispose to familial colorectal cancer type X
Familial colorectal cancer type X (FCCTX) is characterized by clinical features of hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer with a yet undefined genetic background. Here, using an integrative genomics strategy, we identify the SEMA4A p.Val78Met germline mutation in an Austrian kindred with FCCTX. Compared with wild-type protein, SEMA4AV78M demonstrates significantly increased MAPK/Erk and PI3K/Akt signaling as well as cell cycle progression of SEMA4A deficient HCT-116 colorectal cancer cells. In a cohort of 53 patients with FCCTX we depict two further SEMA4A mutations, p.Gly484Ala and p.Ser326Phe, and the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) p.Pro682Ser. This SNP is highly associated with the FCCTX phenotype exhibiting increased risk for colorectal cancer (OR 6.79, 95% CI 2.63 to 17.52). Our study shows previously unidentified germline variants in SEMA4A predisposing to FCCTX which has implications for surveillance strategies of patients and their families.

CLL_cancer_Sample_Sequencing
Genomic libraries (500 bps) will be generated from total genomic DNA derived from CLL cancer samples and subjected to total of eight lanes of 37 bp, paired end sequencing on the llumina GA. Paired reads will be mapped to build 37 of the human reference genome to facilitate the generation of genome wide copy number information, and the identification of novel rearranged cancer genes and gene fusions.

Low T cell diversity is associated with poor outcome in bladder cancer - Total RNAseq data
T cells are crucial effector cells in the endogenous defense against cancer, yet the clinical impact of their quantity, diversity, and dynamics remains underexplored. In this study we performed total RNAseq on blood samples from 8 patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer. The goal was to compare blood T cell subtype composition between patients with low and high TCR diversity.

Canadian prostate cancer samples (CPC-GENE) for PanProstate study
CPC-GENE has sequenced the genomes of 350 intermediate risk prostate cancers to identify genetic signatures that differ in cancers that responded well to treatment compared with those that did not. CPC-GENE also has sequenced multiple regions of prostate cancer from the same gland to determine if and how the genetic make-up of prostate cancer varies within an individual man’s prostate

Analysis of Loose Ends in Cancer Genome Structure
Short-read sequencing (SRS) forms the basis of our understanding of cancer genome evolution, yet it is widely thought to be inadequate for detecting structural variants (SVs). To understand the nature of cancer SVs missed by SRS, we introduce the concept of "loose ends" - sites of missing rearrangements revealed by balancing copy number (CN) across the genomic intervals and adjacencies of a genome graph.

Renal_Follow_Up_Series
This study's purpose is to use data generated in Renal whole genome and exome Cancer sequencing to target specific areas in multiple other Renal Cancer samples. These areas will then be subjected to bespoke pull downs, tagged and then pool the resultant amplicons. These amplicons will then be sequenced. This is hoped to show the prevalence of previous findings in multiple individuals in a high throughput method.

ANGIOPREDICT - an FP7-funded project enabling personalised medicine for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.
In ANGIOPREDICT, academic cancer biologists and industry-based biotechnology researchers will work together with clinicians to identify biomarkers to predict whether individual metastatic colorectal cancer patients will respond positively to Avastin® combination therapy. Diagnostic tests using these biomarkers will also be developed to provide clinicians with the means to predict patient treatment responses in the future.
