• Osteosarcoma_Exome_Sequencing

  Agilent whole exome hybridisation capture will be performed on genomic DNA derived from 50 osteosarcoma cancers and matched normal DNA from the same patients. Three lanes of Illumina GA sequencing will be performed on the resulting 100 exome libraries and mapped to build 37 of the human reference genome to facilitate the identification of novel cancer genes.

• Poikiloderma_syndrome_RNAseq

  We will sequence the RNA of lymphoblast samples, transformed with EBV, which have poikiloderma syndrome with mutations in c16orf57. The aim of the experiment is to characterise RNA structural effects in this disease.

• Exome_sequencing_of_blastic_plasmacytoid_dendritic_cell_neoplasms

  Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) is a rare and aggressive haematological malignancy derived from precursors of plasmacytoid dendritic cells. Due to the rarity of BPDCNs our knowledge of their molecular pathogenesis was until recently confined to observations describing reccurent chromosomal deletions involving chromosomes 5q, 12p, 13q, 6q, 15q and 9. A recent publication went on to delineate the common deleted regions using aCGH and demonstrated that these centred around known tumour suppressor genes including CDKN2A/B (9p21.3), RB1 (12p13.2-14.3), CDKN1B (13q11-q12) and IKZF1 (7p12.2).These mutations are found recurrently in several different cancers and in most cases are thought to be involved in tumour progression rather than initiation. However, the well-defined nature and cellular ontogeny of these neoplasms suggests strongly that they share one or a few characteristic mutations as has been demonstrated for other uncommon but well-defined neoplasms such as Hairy Cell Leukemia (BRAF) and ovarian Granulosa Cell tumours (FOXL2).

• Testing_the_feasibility_of_genome_scale_sequencing_in_routinely_collected_FFPE_cancer_specimens_versus_matched_fresh_frozen_samples

  Testing the feasibility of genome-scale sequencing in routinely collected formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) cancer specimens versus matched fresh-frozen samples using whole exome and targeted exome capture prior to Illumina sequencing.

• 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.

• Renal_Matched_Pair_Cell_Line_Exome_Sequencing

  Agilent whole exome hybridisation capture will be performed on genomic DNA derived from renal cancer cell lines and matched normal DNA from the same patient. Illumina GA sequencing will be performed on the resulting exome libraries and mapped to build 37 of the human reference genome to facilitate the identification of novel cancer genes.

• Mixed_Leukemia_Rearrangement_Screen

  Genomic libraries will be generated from total genomic DNA derived from Mixed Leukemia and MPD samples and subjected to total of eight lanes of 37 bp, paired end sequencing on the illumina GA. 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.
