Project description:To assess variation and inheritance of genome-wide patterns of DNA methylation simultaneously in humans, we applied reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (RRBS) to somatic DNA from six members of a three-generation family. Reduced representation bisulfite sequencing was applied to genomic DNA from leukocytes of 6 family members and two unrelated individuals.
Project description:To determine the influence of in vivo tumor growth and antitumor immune responses on the generation of tumor neoepitopes, we performed whole exome sequencing (WES) on the mT3-2D cell line, WT tumors and SCID tumors
Project description:The Family Colorectal Cancer Awareness and Risk Education Project (Family CARE Project) is designed to determine whether a personalized telephone plus mailed print cancer risk assessment and behavior change counseling intervention is more effective than a targeted mailed print intervention in promoting risk appropriate screening in individuals with a family history of the disease. The project targets people residing in both rural and urban areas, allowing an examination of differential intervention effects with regard to place of residence.
Project description:Whole exome sequencing (the SureSelectXT Mouse All Exon Kit) was done on leukemias from NP23-NHD13 double transgenic mice with strain background designated “C57Bl6-NIH”.
Project description:Blood samples from patients with myeloid malignancies were analyzed using whole exome sequencing (WES). Data set from genotyping by microarray of the same samples has been deposited in ArrayExpress under accession number E-MTAB-1845 (https://www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress/experiments/E-MTAB-1845/).
Project description:Potocki-Shaffer syndrome (PSS) is a rare contiguous gene deletion syndrome marked by haploinsufficiency of genes in chromosomal region 11p11.2p12. Approximately 50 cases of PSS have been reported; however, a syndrome with a PSS-like clinical phenotype caused by 11p11.12p12 duplication has not yet been reported. We first report the 11p11.12p12 duplication in a family with intellectual disability and craniofacial anomalies. 11p11.12p12 duplication syndrome was identified by karyotype analysis. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) analysis clarified the location of the chromosomal variations, which was confirmed by chromosome microarray analysis (CMA). Whole-exome sequencing (WES) was performed to exclude single nucleotide variations (SNVs). The raw data of NGS analysis and WES have been submitted to SRA, the accession number is PRJNA713823.
Project description:Single Gland Whole-exome sequencing: building on our prior description of multi-region WES of colorectal tumors and targeted single gland sequencing (E-MTAB-2247), we performed WES of multiple single glands from different sides (right: A and left: B) of two tumors in this study (tumor O and U) on the illumina platform using the Agilent SureSelect 2.0 or illumina Nextera Rapid Capture Exome kit (SureSelect or NRCE, as indicated in the naming of fastq files). Colorectal Cancer Xenograft Whole-exome sequencing: The HCT116 and LoVo Mismatch-Repair-deficient colorectal adenocarcinoma cell lines were obtained from the ATCC and cultured under standard conditions. For both cell lines, a single âfoundingâ cell was cloned and expanded in vitro to ~6M cells. Two aliquots of ~1M cells were subcutaneously injected into opposite flanks (right and left) of a nude mouse and tumors allowed to reach a size of ~1B cells (1cm3) before the animal was sacrificed. Tumor tissue was collected separately from the right and left lesions and DNA was extracted for WES using the illumina TruSeq Exome kit or Nextera Rapid Capture Exome expanded Kits (Truseq or NRCEe), as was DNA from the first passage population (a polyclonal tissue culture for HCT116 and a polyclonal xenograft sample for LoVo), which were employed as a control to study mutation accumulation in culture and post xenotransplantation.
Project description:Esophageal cancer is one of the most aggressive cancers and the sixth leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Approximately 70% of the global esophageal cancers occur in China and over 90% histopathological forms of this disease are esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Currently, there are limited clinical approaches for early diagnosis and treatment for ESCC, resulting in a 10% 5-year survival rate for the patients. Meanwhile, the full repertoire of genomic events leading to the pathogenesis of ESCC remains unclear. Here we show a comprehensive genomic analysis in 158 ESCC cases, as part of the International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC) Research Projects (http://icgc.org/icgc/cgp/72/371/1001734). We conducted whole-genome sequencing in 17 ESCC cases and whole-exome sequencing in 71 cases, of which 53 cases and additional 70 ESCC cases were subjected to array comparative genomic hybridization (a-CGH) analysis. We conducted whole-genome sequencing in 17 ESCC cases and whole-exome sequencing in 71 cases, of which 53 cases and additional 70 ESCC cases were subjected to array comparative genomic hybridization (a-CGH) analysis.
