Whole-Genome and Transcriptomic Data from Colorectal Cancer Patients and Matched Healthy Controls in Sweden

This dataset contains whole-genome sequencing (WGS) and RNA-seq data generated from tumor samples, matched blood samples, and healthy control samples collected from 350 Swedish individuals between 2019 and 2023. Tumor biopsies were obtained from colorectal cancer (CRC) patients, while control samples were collected from age- and sex-matched healthy volunteers with no history of CRC. For tumor samples, paired-end RNA-seq was performed to capture gene expression profiles, and WGS was carried out on DNA extracted from both tumor tissue and matched blood samples to identify somatic and germline variants. For controls, WGS was performed on peripheral blood DNA to provide baseline genomic profiles for comparison. The resulting dataset includes: RNA-seq files in FASTQ format (~2.8 TB total) WGS files in CRAM format (~4.2 TB total) Variant calls in VCF format (~150 GB) Clinical and sample metadata in CSV format Data are stored in FEGA Sweden under controlled access. Access requests will be reviewed by the Lund University RDO as the data controller. Ethical approval was obtained from the Swedish Ethical Review Authority (Dnr: 2023-01234).
