Project description:Current methods for detection of copy number aberrations (CNA) from whole-exome sequencing (WES) data are based on the read counts of the captured exons only. However, accurate CNA determination is complicated by the non-uniform read depth and uneven distribution of exons. Therefore, we developed ENCODER (ENhanced COpy number Detection from Exome Reads), which eludes these problems. By exploiting the ‘off-target’ sequence reads, it allows for creation of robust copy number profiles from WES. The accuracy of ENCODER compares to approaches specifically designed for copy number detection, and outperforms current exon-based WES methods, particularly in samples of low quality.

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:For many years, immortalized cell lines have been used as model systems for cancer research. Cell line panels were established for basic research and drug development, but did not cover the full spectrum of leukemia and lymphoma. Therefore, we now developed a novel panel (LL-100), 100 cell lines covering 22 entities of human leukemia and lymphoma including T-cell, B-cell and myeloid malignancies. Importantly, all cell lines are unequivocally authenticated and assigned to the correct tissue. Cell line samples were proven to be free of mycoplasma and virus contamination. Whole exome sequencing (WES) and RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) of the hundred authenticated leukemia-lymphoma cell lines were conducted with a uniform methodology to complement existing data on these publicly available cell lines. This part captures WES. This data set will be useful for understanding the function of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes and to develop targeted therapies.
