Oropharynx cancers sequencing study (RNA-seq from FFPE)

This is a study of transcriptomics in HPV-associated oropharynx tumors. The goals of this study were to characterize HPV+ oropharynx tumor subtypes and to examine HPV integration events and their downstream effects. HPV-host fusion transcripts and recurrent HPV integration genes were identified. Various alternative isoforms and splicing events of HPV genes were also studied. Multiple potential biomarkers of prognosis were associated with clinical outcomes.

EGAD50000001306	This dataset consists of 67 bulk RNA-seq data (sorted aligned BAM files) from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) oropharynx tumor samples from the University of Michigan (UM). Samples were collected as part of the UM Head and Neck SPORE between 2008-2014. Library preparation was performed using the ribo-depletion method with the FastSelect kit and sequenced on the NovaSeq 6000 at the UM Advanced Genomics Core, resulting in 150bp paired-end reads. Raw reads were trimmed using Cutadapt (v3.4) and aligned to hg38 and high-risk HPV genomes using STAR (v2.7.9a). 62 of 67 samples were determined to be HPV RNA-positive.	Illumina NovaSeq 6000	67
