Project description:Using a public reference data set of 82 unique entities, 382 nanopore-sequenced brain tumor samples were classified based on their methylation status through an ad hoc random forest algorithm. As a measure of confidence, score recalibration was performed and platform-specific thresholds were defined.
Project description:In this study nanopore sequencing was applied to obtain sparse DNA methylation profiles from pediatric CNS tumor samples. A neural network was used to classify the tumor based on the obtained methylation profile.
Project description:Renal epithelial neoplasms have characteristic chromosomal imbalances that can be used for classification. We have previously shown that virtual karyotypes (v-karyotype) derived from SNP microarrays can be performed on formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue samples but a direct comparison with karyotypes obtained by conventional cytogenetics has not been done. 20 archival FFPE tumor samples were analyzed with Affymetrix 10K 2.0 or 250K Nsp SNP microarrays.
Project description:We used the nanopore Cas9 targeted sequencing (nCATS) strategy to specifically sequence 125 L1HS-containing loci in parallel and measure their DNA methylation levels using nanopore long-read sequencing. Each targeted locus is sequenced at high coverage (~45X) with unambiguously mapped reads spanning the entire L1 element, as well as its flanking sequences over several kilobases. The genome-wide profile of L1 methylation was also assessed by bs-ATLAS-seq in the same cell lines (E-MTAB-10895).
Project description:Infinium® HumanMethylation450 BeadChip and EPIC arrays were run with the aim of using the methylation profiles (n=986 in total) for sarcoma subtype classification (Paper: Lyskjær et al, 2021, DNA methylation-based profiling of bone and soft tissue tumours: a validation study of the ‘DKFZ sarcoma Classifier’ ). 500ng of DNA from fresh frozen (FT) or formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumour samples were bisulfite converted using the Zymo EZ DNA methylation Gold kit (Zymo Research Corp. Irvine, USA) before hybridisation to the Infinium HumanMethylation450 or EPIC beadchip arrays (Illumina, San Diego, CA) by UCL Genomics. All bisulfite-converted FFPE samples were restored with the Infinium FFPE DNA Restore kit (Illumina).
Project description:Genome-wide DNA methylation profiling of brain metastases from lung cancer, breast cancer, and melanoma samples. The Illumina Infinium 450K Human DNA methylation Beadchip was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 450,000 methylation sites in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples from brain metastases. Samples included 30 breast cancer brain metastases, 18 lung cancer brain metastases, 37 melanoma brain metastases, and 4 samples with brain metastases from patients with uncertain primary.
Project description:Nanopore Sequencing and assembly of Col-0 carrying seed coat expressed GFP and RFP transgenes flanking the centromere of chromosome 3 (CTL 3.9) - additionally, DNA methylation was derived using deepsignal-plant using these reads.
Project description:DNA methylation from human meningioma samples that were also profiled for spatial heterogeneity analysis. Some samples represent spatially distinct regions, punched using a 2mm core punch from FFPE blocks in a given tumor. Other samples represent serial tumor samples at index treatment and then recurrence.
