• Balanced Ependymoma

  We propose to definitively characterise the somatic genetics of a number of pediatric malignant tumours including ependymoma, high grade glioma and central nervous system primitive neurectodermal tumours through generation of comprehensive catalogues of somatic mutations by high coverage genome sequencing.

• Frequent mutation of the major cartilage collagen gene, COL2A1, in chondrosarcoma

  Chondrosarcoma (CHS) is a heterogeneous collection of malignant bone tumours and is the second most common primary malignancy of bone after osteosarcoma. Recent work has identified frequent, recurrent mutations in IDH1/2 in nearly half of central CHS. However, there has been little systematic genomic analysis of this tumour type and thus the contribution of other genes is unclear. Here we report comprehensive genomic analyses of 49 cases of CHS. We identified hypermutability of the major cartilage collagen COL2A1 with insertions, deletions and rearrangements identified in 37% of cases. The patterns of mutation were consistent with selection for variants likely to impair normal collagen biosynthesis. In addition we identified mutations in IDH1/2 (59%), TP53 (20%), the RB1 pathway (27%) and hedgehog signaling (22%).

• The genomic architecture of mesothelioma

  The genome-wide landscape of somatically acquired mutations in mesothelioma has not been deeply characterised to date, but advances in DNA sequencing technology now allow this to be addressed comprehensively. Harnessing massively parallel DNA sequencing platforms, we will identify somatically acquired point mutations in all coding regions of the genome from patients with mesothelioma. In addition, using paired-end sequencing, we will map copy number changes and genomic rearrangements from the same patients.

• Osteosarcoma whole genome rearrangement screen

  Genomic libraries (500 bps) will be generated from total genomic DNA derived from Osteosarcoma cancer patients and subjected to short paired end sequencing on the llumina platform. Paired reads will be mapped to build 37 of the human reference genome to facilitate the generation of genome wide copy number information, and the identification of novel rearranged cancer genes and gene fusions.

• Balanced Brain Tumour Whole Genome Sequencing

  We propose to definitively characterise the somatic genetics of a number of pediatric malignant tumours including ependymoma, high grade glioma and central nervous system primitive neurectodermal tumours through generation of comprehensive catalogues of somatic mutations by high coverage genome sequencing.

• Sporadic Parathyroid Carcinoma

  This dataset is compromised of 5 sequencing experiments from a single patient with sporadic and recurring parathyroid carcinoma. The samples include whole genome sequence of the primary tumor, the first recurrent tumor and peripheral blood. Whole transcriptome sequence of the first and second recurrent tumors are also included.

• Uveal melanoma whole genome sequencing, SNP arrays and RNA-seq

  We conducted whole genome sequencing and DNA SNP array of 12 uveal melanoma genomes and their matched DNA from blood. We also conducted RNA-seq of the 12 tumour samples.

• Ewings Sarcoma Rearrangement Screen

  Cancer is driven by mutations in the genome. We will uncover the mutations that give rise to Ewing's sarcoma, a bone tumour that largely affects children. We will use second generation Illumina massively parallel sequencing, and bespoke software, to characterise the genomes and transcriptomes of Ewing's sarcoma tumours.

• Chondrosarcoma Validation Study

  Agilent whole exome hybridisation capture was performed on genomic DNA derived from Chondrosarcoma cancer and matched normal DNA from the same patients. Next Generation sequencing performed on the resulting exome libraries and mapped to build 37 of the human reference genome to facilitate the identification of novel cancer genes. Now we aim to re find and validate the findings of those exome libraries using bespoke pulldown methods and sequencing the products.

• A study of the molecular pathogenesis of Splenic Marginal Zone and Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma

  We will perform exome sequencing on selected cases of splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL) and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in order to characterise their genetic makeup and identify biomarkers for prognosis and prediction of treatment response.
