ABSTRACT: DNA extracted from multiple biopsies taken from different areas of primary breast tumours will be subjected to targeted re-sequencing and analysed in order to assess intra-tumour heterogeneity with respect to mutations in a selection of cancer related genes.
Project description:DNA extracted from multiple biopsies taken from different areas of primary lung tumours will be subjected to targeted re-sequencing and analysed in order to assess intra-tumour heterogeneity with respect to mutations in a selection of cancer related genes.

Project description:A Ruditapes philippinarum microarray platform was developed to assess variations on transcritpomic response to copper exposures in Manila clam colelctted in Venice lagoon areas subjected to different anthropogenic impact
Project description:To analyze intra-tumor heterogeneity, DNA methylation was analysed in paired tumor samples of 16 patients from whom biopsies were taken at distinct anatomical sites. Samples were collected from 2014 to 2017 in two French hospitals. All samples obtained from surgical samples or tumor biopsy were immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80°C prior extraction.
Project description:Cotton seedlings were subjected to water-deficit stress along with control condition for 24 hours or 48 hours and tissues emcompassing the elongation zone of primary roots were analysed for differential accumulated transcripts compared to control.
Project description:Maize seedlings were subjected to water-deficit stress along with control condition for 24 hours or 48 hours and tissues emcompassing the elongation zone of primary roots were analysed for differential accumulated transcripts compared to control.
Project description:Despite aggressive multi-modal treatment, advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients are at high risk of recurrence. n=19 different selected areas of matched pairs (n=3) of primary/recurrent tumor specimens were subjected to RNA sequencing. Transcriptional subtyping (classical/CL, basal/BA, inflamed-mesenchymal/IMS) in matched primary and recurrent HNSCC specimens revealed heterogeneity.
Project description:Glioblastoma (GBM), the most common malignant tumor originating in the brain remains incurable with few treatment advances despite decades of investigation. Treatment failure is often attributed to intratumoral heterogeneity, which fosters tumor evolution and selection of resistant clones. However, intratumoral heterogeneity and tumor evolution remain poorly understood in GBM as studies are typically based on single tissue biopsies and lack spatial context. Here, we have utilized pre-operative MRI scans and intra-operative 3-D surgical neuronavigation for 10 primary IDH-WT GBM patients to acquire 103 tissue samples that represent maximal tumor diversity and are mapped by 3-D spatial coordinates. We combine insights from deconvolution of GBM transcriptomes and chromatin landscapes with single-cell analysis to assess intratumoral heterogeneity of each program at the cellular level and to distinguish neuronal, glial, and immune programs aberrantly active in tumor cells from their counterparts in normal cells. Collectively, these data provide unprecedented insight into GBM intratumoral heterogeneity and evolution from single-cell to whole-tumor 3D spatial resolution, redefining current understanding and providing a rich resource of targets for therapeutic investigation.
Project description:RNAseq was used to identify primary human B-cell responses to CD40L stimulation. Primary human peripheral blood B-cells were isolated by negative selection and then subjected to 0, 1 or 18 hours of mega-CD40L stimulation at 50 ng/ml.
