• Genomic analysis of HGSOC using long read sequencing

  High-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) is characterized by widespread genomic instability, but genomic and epigenomic alterations within repetitive regions remain poorly understood. This study aims to investigate genomic and epigenomic variations in HGSOC using Oxford Nanopore long-read sequencing technology. High-molecular-weight DNA was extracted from cryopreserved, pre-treatment tumor samples and matched blood specimens. The objectives include developing a robust long-read sequencing analysis pipeline, identifying novel genomic and epigenomic variations, and exploring potential applications in future clinical and basic research.

• Genetic differences between primary colorectal cancer and its paired synchronous and metachronous metastases

  In this study we present for the first time the genetic differences associated with different chronicity of colorectal cancer liver metastases identified by whole-exome sequencing of 210 CRC samples. We focus on differences in primary tumors as we hypothesize that these are the cause of the differences in the time course of the disease. The results suggest that distinct tumor progression pathways account for different chronicity outcomes with ultimate impact on patient’s prognosis

• WES sequencing of metastatic colorectal cancer patient-derived xenografts with known response to irinotecan.

  Chemotherapy is the standard-of-care treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) and benefits some patients, but what distinguishes responders from non-responders is unclear. In this study, we expand a pre-existing collection (https://doi.org/10.1158/2159-8290.CD-24-0556) of molecularly annotated patient-derived xenografts to uncover functional predictors of response to 5-FU and irinotecan combination therapy (FOLFIRI) in mCRC. We complemented previous mutational profiles with whole exome sequencing for 46 xenografts with known response to irinotecan.

• Spatial Profiling of Patient-Matched HER2 Positive Gastric Cancer Reveals Resistance Mechanisms to Trastuzumab and Trastuzumab Deruxtecan Sequencing

  HER2-positive gastric cancer (HER2+ GC) exhibits significant intra-tumoral heterogeneity and frequent development of resistance to HER2-targeted therapies. This study aimed to characterize the spatial tumor microenvironment (TME) and identify mechanisms of resistance to HER2 blockade including trastuzumab and trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) in HER2+ GC, with the goal of informing novel therapeutic strategies. We performed spatial transcriptomics on pre- and post-treatment samples from patients with HER2+ metastatic GC who received trastuzumab-based therapy.

• Multifocal cohort analysis unveils cell types associated with regional lymph node seeding in prostate cancer

  The aim of this project was to assess the effect of intratumor heterogeneity on pathological and molecular markers in locally advanced prostate cancer. We demonstrate how primary lesions with a higher metastatic potential more closely resemble the state in the metastatic lymph nodes, for some biological signatures. Finally, we developed a statistical procedure to identify the most likely seeding lesion and introduced a statistical testing procedure to leverage the intratumor heterogeneity to identify signatures that characterize the seeding lesion.

• AML_targeted_resequencing_study

  Genomic libraries will be generated from whole genome amplified genomic DNA derived from 3,000 myeloid neoplasms. Targeted capture will be performed by multiplexing 16 barcoded samples in each library. Pools of 96 DNA samples will be subjected to 1-2 lanes of HiSeq 75bp sequencing. Reads will be mapped to the current build of the human reference genome to facilitate the generation of a comprehensive catalog of somatic mutations associated with 116 known myeloid and cancer driver genes.

• MutWP5__CRUK_Mutographs_of_Cancer__Breast__Cancer_Mastectomy__Exome_

  Sequencing of LCM-derived microbiopsies from 30 women who underwent mastectomies due to a breast cancer diagnosis. Goal to assess the mutational burden, spectrum, and clonal dynamics within the tissue. Exome data will be used as a driver and clonality screen, highly clonal or driver-containing samples will subsequently be sent for whole-genome sequencing. Results from this portion of the study will be compared to women who had cosmetic breast reduction surgeries and those with germline BRCA 1/2 mutations.

• Clonal_expansion_of_mutated_cell_population_in_bladder_urothelium_

  1cm biospies of from patients undergoing bladder cystectomy will be collected. The underlying muscle and stroma will be removed and the remaining epithelia dissected into small sequential areas which will be sent for ultra-deep exome sequencing using a panel of known cancer and viral genes. Sequence analysis using similar methods to Martincorena I et al (Science 2015, 348:880) will provide an idea of the somatic mutational landscape in these patient samples. Individual patient muscle samples will also be sequenced as a reference.

• Melanoma_Til_Study_RNAseq

  In this study, mutations present in a series of human melanomas (stage IV disease) will be determined, using autologous blood cells to obtain a reference genome. From each of the samples that are analyzed, tumour-infiltrating T lymphocytes have also been isolated. This offers a unique opportunity to determine which (fraction of) mutations in human cancer leads to epitopes that are recognized by T cells. The resulting information is likely to be of value to understand how T cell activating drugs exert their action.

• Targeted_sequencing_of_genes_recurrently_mutated_in_AML___part2

  Genomic libraries will be generated from total genomic DNA derived from 4000 samples with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia. Libraries will be enriched for a selected panel of genes using a bespoke pulldown protocol. 64 Samples will be individually barcoded and subjected to up to one lanes of Illumina HiSeq. Paired reads will be mapped to build 37 of the human reference genome to facilitate the characterisation of known gene mutations in cancer as well as the validation of potentially novel variants identified by prior exome sequencing.
