Clonal evolution of metastatic colorectal cancer under anticancer therapies

To investigate the clonal evolution of metastatic CRC at the single-cell level, we performed WGS in 58 clonal organoids and 18 fresh-frozen (FT) bulk-tissue samples from surgically resected primary and metastatic tumors before and after anticancer therapies in 6 patients. This approach enabled detailed phylogenetic reconstruction of individual clones. We discovered the timing and burden of treatment-related mutations as well as the heterogeneous evolution in driver mutations and genomic rearrangements in late-stage clonal evolution under anticancer therapies in metastatic CRC.

EGAD50000001493	This dataset consists of WGS fastq files from 58 clonal organoids and 18 fresh-frozen (FT) bulk-tissue samples from surgically resected primary and metastatic tumors before and after anticancer therapies in 6 patients with matched blood control samples from each patient. After DNA extraction from each sample using DNeasy Blood and Tissue Kit (Qiagen), library preparation was done using TruSeq DNA PCR-free kit. Then, paired-end fastq files were generated using Illumina NovaSeq 6000.	Illumina NovaSeq 6000	83
