• Targeted panel data for newly diagnosed myeloma patients.

  Genomic abnormalities in MM are common and can affect a patients outcome. Here we have performed targeted sequencing on xx patient tumor samples and matched control DNA. The targeted panel consists of ~160 genes and copy number regions, as well as key regions of chromosomal translocation including IGH, IGK, IGL and MYC. Using mutation, copy number, and translocation information we have been able to identify abnormalities that affect prognosis including bi-allelic inactivation of TP53 and rearrangements involving MYC.

• Human pan-cancer plasma cfRNA study - raw data

  This study contains mRNA capture sequencing data from plasma of 266 different human donors. The first, pan-cancer, cohort covers 25 high-grade to metastatic cancer types (8 cancer patients per type) and a control group (8 healthy donors). The validation cohort comprises additional plasma samples from ovarian, prostate and uterine cancer patients (12 per type) as well as additional samples from controls (22 new and 8 repeated). Samples were sequenced on a NovaSeq 6000 and are provided in FASTQ format.

• Clonal dynamics of normal hepatocyte expansions in homeostatic human livers and their association with the biliary epithelium

  BAM files containing paired-end mtDNA sequencing data from morphologically normal human liver. CCO-proficient hepatocytes acquired from livers in which clonal CCO-deficient hepatocyte patches had been previously identified. Individual BAM files are named according to their patch, line and sample location, where PT denotes tissue near to the portal triad (PT), central hepatic vein (CV) and midway between these two structures (Mid). "Stroma" control samples were used for identifying germ-line variants. Sequenced on NextSeq 500 platform.

• cfDNAme allows early prediction of PE

  Preeclampsia (PE) is a leading cause for peripartal morbidity, especially if developing early in gestation. To enable prophylaxis to prevent PE, it is essential that pregnancies at risk of PE are identified early, in the first trimester. To identify patients at risk, we profiled methylomes of plasma-derived cell-free DNA (cfDNA) from pregnant women. We detected DNA methylation differences between control and PE pregnancies that enable risk stratification of patients, at PE diagnosis but also presymptomatically, around 12 weeks of gestation.

• snRNA-seq analysis in multinucleated myogenic FSHD cells identifies heterogeneous FSHD transcriptome signatures associated with embryonic-like program activation and oxidative stress-induced apoptosis

  The sporadic nature of DUX4 expression in FSHD muscle challenges comparative transcriptome analyses between FSHD and control samples. A variety of DUX4 and FSHD-associated transcriptional changes have been identified, but bulk RNA-seq strategies prohibit comprehensive analysis of their spatiotemporal relation, interdependence and role in the disease process. In this study, we used single-nucleus RNA-sequencing of nuclei isolated from patient- and control-derived multinucleated primary myotubes to investigate the cellular heterogeneity in FSHD. Taking advantage of the increased resolution in snRNA-sequencing of fully differentiated myotubes, two distinct populations of DUX4-affected nuclei could be defined by their transcriptional profiles. Our data provides insights into the differences between these two populations and suggests heterogeneity in two well-known FSHD-associated transcriptional aberrations: increased oxidative stress and inhibition of myogenic differentiation. Additionally, we provide evidence that DUX4-affected nuclei share transcriptome features with early embryonic cells beyond the well-described cleavage stage, progressing into the 8-cell and blastocyst stages. Altogether, our data suggests that the FSHD transcriptional profile is defined by a mixture of individual and sometimes mutually exclusive DUX4-induced responses and cellular state-dependent downstream effects.

• Transcriptomic profiling of fragile X syndrome unmethylated full mutation carriers

  Total RNA sequencing of fibroblasts from two unrelated FMR1 unmethylated full mutation carriers, a fragile X patient and a control individual. The existence of rare, unmethylated full mutation carriers who carry the mutation that causes fragile X syndrome but do not gain methylation at the locus offers a rare opportunity to study the mechanisms underlying fragile X syndrome. This study aims to compare the transcriptomes of these four individuals in order to elucidate the mechanism behind the methylation a the FMR1 CGG repeat expansion that causes Fragile X syndrome.

• Whole-exome ultra-high throughput sequencing in brain samples of suicide victims who had suffered from major depressive disorder and control subjects who had died from other causes

  We carried out whole-exome ultra-high throughput sequencing in brain samples of suicide victims who had suffered from major depressive disorder and control subjects who had died from other causes. This study aimed to reveal the selective accumulation of rare variants in the coding and the UTR sequences within the genes of suicide victims. We also analysed the potential effect of STR and CNV variations, as well as the infection of the brain with neurovirulent viruses in this behavioural disorder. As a result, we have identified several candidate genes, among others three calcium channel genes that may potentially contribute to completed suicide. We also explored the potential implication of the TGF-β signalling pathway in the pathogenesis of suicidal behaviour. To our best knowledge, this is the first study that uses whole-exome sequencing for the investigation of suicide.

• Robust detection of translocations in lymphoma FFPE samples using Targeted Locus Capture-based sequencing - NGS targeted capture control cohort

  In routine diagnostic pathology, cancer biopsies are preserved by Formalin-Fixed, Paraffin-Embedding (FFPE) procedures for examination of (intra-) cellular morphology. Such procedures inadvertently induce DNA fragmentation, which compromises sequencing-based analyses of chromosomal rearrangements. Yet, rearrangements drive many types of hematolymphoid malignancies and solid tumors, and their manifestation is instructive for diagnosis, prognosis and treatment. Here, we present FFPE-Targeted Locus Capture (FFPE-TLC) for targeted sequencing of proximity-ligation products formed in FFPE tissue blocks, and PLIER, a computational framework that allows automated identification and characterization of rearrangements involving selected, clinically-relevant, loci. FFPE-TLC, blindly applied to 149 lymphoma and control FFPE samples, identifies the known and novel rearrangement partners. It outperforms fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) in sensitivity and specificity, and shows clear advantages over standard capture-NGS methods, finding rearrangements involving repetitive sequences which they typically miss. FFPE-TLC is therefore a powerful clinical diagnostics tool for accurate targeted rearrangement detection in FFPE specimens.
