Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute Cancer Genome Project


ABSTRACT: The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute (WTSI), Hinxton, Cambridge, UK is a not-for-profit research organisation and a world famous Genome Centre dedicated to the sequencing and functional analysis of genomes. The Sanger Institute underpins biological and medical research worldwide through large-scale analysis, focused research and collaborations. Genome sequence analysis is complemented by computational interpretation and experimental analysis of gene function in a variety of model organisms. There are designated teams for library preparation, sequencing production and data processing. The data centre for computation and data distribution has recently been extended and now has in excess of 4000 terabytes (Tb) of storage space available and a compute farm consisting of almost 5,000 CPUs.

Cancer is driven by somatically acquired point mutations and chromosomal rearrangements, conventionally thought to accumulate gradually over time. Using next-generation sequencing, we characterize a phenomenon, which we term chromothripsis, whereby tens to hundreds of genomic rearrangements occur in a one-off cellular crisis. Rearrangements involving one or a few chromosomes crisscross back and forth across involved regions, generating frequent oscillations between two copy number states. These  ...[more]
