Project description:Whole-exome sequencing analysis of lineage-marked prostate primary tumors and metastases from the NPK mouse model (Nkx3.1CreERT2/+; Ptenflox/flox; KrasLSL-G12D/+; R26R-CAG-LSL-EYFP/+)
Project description:The study involves whole exome sequencing of 20 primary tumors obtained from lung squamous carcinoma patients of Indian origin. With this, we aim to describe the mutational profile of this specific subset of lung cancer patients. This knowledge will further allow us to gain an insight into potentially actionable genomic alterations prevalent in Indian lung squamous carcinoma.
Project description:Whole exome sequencing was performed on set of 48 DNA samples obtained from 16 EGFR mutated NSCLC patients whose tumors progressed following EGFR-TKI treatment. The DNA samples included baseline biopsy, rebiopsy and blood from the same patient. By comparing the variants in rebiopsy tumors and baseline tumors we aim to understand the genomic alterations responsible for the development of EGFR-TKI resistance in NSCLC patients.
Project description:We collected blood samples of two non-obstructive azoospermia patients, and performed whole exome sequencing to explore the causal mutations for male infertility.
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.
