We performed an unbiased genome-wide expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) mapping study to identify common regulatory (expression) single nucleotide polymorphisms (eSNPs) in mid-secretory endometrium, corresponding to the luteal phase of the ovarian cycle. Biopsies were collected from 58 women with two or more early pregnancy losses and 53 of these samples passed all quality control. RNA was extracted from endometrial biopsies and DNA was extracted for sequencing from blood. Gene expression data can be found at NCBI GEO Series GSE77688.

Characterization of CNS Metastases

Metastatic disease to the central nervous system (CNS) is devastating, with a poor prognosis. There are limited treatment options for patients with CNS metastases, and in particular with leptomeningeal carcinomatosis (LMD). In this study, we evaluated the molecular and cellular features of parenchymal brain metastases and LMD. We used single-cell RNA and cell-free DNA profiling of CSF from patients with LMD receiving immunotherapy to demonstrate shifts in the liquid LMD tumor microenvironment. We also characterize the tumor microenvironment of parenchymal brain metastases using single cell sequencing, before and after treatment with immunotherapy.

Transcriptome and TCR Sequencing of T Cells from Metastectomies

T cells were sorted from metastatic tumors (colon, rectal, breast, anal, melanoma primary histologies) following tumor dissociation and single-cell sequencing was performed (RNAseq and TCRseq). For samples from tumors that had been previously studied, cells were analyzed comparing known neoantigen-reactive TCR-expressing cells to other T cells. For samples without previously identified neoantigen reactivity, TCRs were predicted on the basis of T cell transcriptomic states. To determine candidate neoantigen screening, exome and RNA sequencing were performed on fragments of matched tumors from which T cells were sequenced

Identification of Putative Neoantigens in Stage III Melanoma

This study of three metastatic melanoma patients utilized exome sequencing and RNA sequencing to help identify putative neoantigen peptides that could be further validated by standard immunological assays before design of a personalized vaccine. For each set of neoantigens identified and verified by standard assays, we designed GMP peptides that correspond to the top neoantigens, then used these to condition dendritic cell isolates from each patient. The conditioned dendritic cells were used as the vaccine in three rounds of vaccination, followed by monitoring for T cell memory response to each of the neoantigens.

Genomic Translation for ALS Care (GTAC) - WGS

To look for genetic correlates of disease progression, the GTAC study recruited patients with motor neuron disease from 13 academic medical center clinics and followed them longitudinally for up to 5 years. Participants were regularly assessed for changes in respiratory function, the ALS Functional Rating Scale, and the ALS Cognitive Behavioral Scale. Participants underwent PCR-free whole genome sequencing on the Illumina NovaSeq, as well as repeat-prime PCR assessment of the C9ORF72 repeat expansion. Participants had PBMCs and whole blood RNA banked for future correlative studies.

Genomic and transcriptomic characterization of chordoma

In this study, we performed paired tumor/normal whole exome and shallow long insert whole genome sequencing, as well as tumor RNAseq, from archival chordoma specimens collected from four patients at the Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix, AZ. The purpose of this analysis was to identify potential therapeutic targets. In three patients, we observed that although different DNA and RNA changes were present in each tumor, alterations fell on converging pathways. In the fourth patient, constitutional DNA demonstrated potentially pathogenic alterations that may have predisposed the patient to chordoma.

Genetic measurement of memory B-cell recall using antibody repertoire sequencing

We developed an improved high throughput sequencing approach to measure the quantities and sequences of the repertoire of antibody heavy chain RNA in a blood sample. Using this approach we analyzed the antibody repertoire in response to yearly vaccinations with influenza vaccines TIV and LAIV in healthy adults in two subsequent years. We determined vaccine response patterns specific to LAIV and TIV and found antibody sequences that were shared between two samples of the same individuals following influenza vaccination in subsequent years, thereby providing a genetic measurement of B-cell memory recall.

Single-Cell Analysis of the Multiple Myeloma Microenvironment after Gamma-Secretase Inhibition and CAR T-Cell Therapy

We examined the effects of gamma-secretase inhibition (GSI) on the bone marrow microenvironment in multiple myeloma patients before anti-B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) CAR T-cell therapy. Single-nuclei RNA and ATAC sequencing revealed significant changes in gene expression and chromatin accessibility, especially in monocytes and tumor cells, following exposure to GSI. The findings suggest that GSI influences not only BCMA signaling but also broader cellular interactions within the tumor microenvironment. De-identified sequencing data from the study is available through dbGaP.

Reconstitution of Human Brain Cell Diversity in Organoids via Four Protocols [time-course bulkRNAseq]

Time-course bulk-RNA sequencing of brain organoids grown in four distinct growth protocols designed to generate dorsal (D) and ventral (V) forebrain, midbrain (M) and striatum (S) tissue at days 13 (for dorsal and ventral)/16 (for midbrain and striatum), 25, 40, 80 and 120. Per per cell line-protocol-timepoint combination three organoids (biological replicates) were grown. For reference, also three samples of the pluripotent stem cells across cell lines, not yet exposed to any protocol, were sequenced (day 0, pluripotent).

Characterization of the molecular signature of human monocytes in aging and myelodysplastic syndrome

Deep immunophenotypic profiling of peripheral blood immune cells from young and older control subjects as well as patients with MDS was initially performed, using mass cytometry to identify monocyte subpopulations. Abundance of monocyte subpopulations separated the samples from patients with MDS from elderly control subjects was identified. Therefore, targeted immunophenotyping of monocytes was also performed with flow cytometry and RNA sequencing from isolated CD14+ peripheral blood longitudinally in 26 subjects, six young healthy individuals, nine older healthy individuals and eleven patients with MDS.

Epigenetic landscape reorganization and reactivation of embryonic development genes are associated with malignancy in IDH-mutant astrocytoma

Accurate grading of IDH-mutant gliomas is crucial for determining patient prognosis and guiding treatment decisions. However, histological grading can be challenging, so we aimed to identify objective molecular markers. To this end, we conducted bulk RNA sequencing on primary IDH-mutant astrocytomas (n=138) from the prospective CATNON trial, which evaluated the prognostic impact of adjuvant and concurrent temozolomide. Using this data, we sought to identify molecular markers linked to increased malignancy in IDH-mutant astrocytomas to establish objective grading criteria.

Sequencing of in vitro generated macrophages and T cells

Monocyte derived macrophages were polarised into M1 or M2 using IFNg+ ILP or IL-4 respectively (n =4) . Pan T cells were cultured with or without IL-2 for 4 days (n=4 - 6). Pan T cells were co-cultured with THP1 tumour cells for 20 hours in the presence or absence of ImmTAC molecules and in the presence or absence of M2 macrophages. Sorted T cells and macrophage populations prior and post co-culture were analysed by bulk RNA sequencing (60 million reads per sample) using the Illumina NovaSeq system.

Deciphering the complex clonal heterogeneity of polycythemia vera and the response to interferon alpha

We integrated colony formation and differentiation assays with single-cell RNA sequencing and single-cell genotyping in PV patient-derived cells vs. healthy controls to dissect how IFNa targets diseased clones during erythroid differentiation. Our findings indicate that PV-derived clones either undergo apoptosis or pass through their typical differentiation cycle, contributing to the long-term exhaustion of mutant cells in the bone marrow. The pivotal roles of ribosomal genes and clonal prerequisites in the therapeutic mechanism of IFNa are underscored by our study.

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.

Single cell transcriptome sequencing of the developing human embryonic meninges

There are no effective medical therapies for meningiomas, partly due to our limited understanding of their cellular origin and composition For this purpose, we generated data to make a comprehensive reference single cell and spatial transcriptomic atlas of human fetal meninges. Samples of meninges from human embryos of post-conceptional week (PCW) 5.0-13.0 were dissected and subject to 10Xgenomics chromium single cell RNA sequencing with the purpose of identifying cell types and gene expression programs for normal meninges development, Furthermore, this dataset should help discover cells of origin for meningiomas.

Gene expression data of 2D duodenum organoids with or without continuous flow

We developed a monolayer culture system for small intestinal organoids, and then placed the culture plate on a rotator to generate a constant flow in the overlay medium. This mechanical stimulation facilitated the formation of villus-like structures from the monolayer of small intestinal organoids. We analyzed gene expression of 2D normal duodenum organoids with or without medium rotation. Total RNA was extracted from organoids with or without a four-day medium rotation, and after 0, 1, 2 or 4 days of medium rotation, and sequenced with HiSeq X Ten (Illumina).

Genomic Landscape of Pediatric Myelodysplastic Syndromes

Pediatric myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are a rare disease and unlike their adult counterpart, very little is known about their genomic landscape. We characterized a cohort of patients from a single institution by whole exome sequencing, as well as a subset of patients by whole genome sequencing, RNA-sequencing and targeted deep sequencing. We found a spectrum of mutations, both somatic and germline, that are distinct from those observed in adult MDS. In turn, we observed mutations commonly observed in other pediatric myeloid tumors.
