Project description:The data in this submission relate to whole exome sequencing from murine ovarian cancer cell line ID8. All sequencing was performed by Beckman Coulter Genomics, Grenoble, France in February 2013.
Project description:Cancer is predominantly a somatic disease. A mutant allele found in cancer cell genome is considered somatic when it is absent in paired normal genome and dbSNP, the most comprehensive public SNP database. However, dbSNP inadequately represents several non-Caucasian populations including that from the Indian subcontinent, posing a limitation in cancer genomic analyses of data from these populations. We present TMC-SNPdb, as the first open source freely accessible (through ANNOVAR), flexible and upgradable SNP database from whole exome data of 62 normal samples derived from cancer patients of Indian origin, representing 114,309 unique germline variants. TMC-SNPdb is presented with a companion subtraction tool that can be executed with command line option or an easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI) with the ability to deplete additional Indian population specific SNPs over and above that possible with dbSNP and 1000 Genomes databases. Using an institutional generated whole exome data set of 132 samples of Indian origin, we demonstrate that TMC-SNPdb reduced 42%, 33% and 28% false positive somatic events post dbSNP depletion in Indian origin tongue, gallbladder, and cervical cancer samples, respectively. Beyond cancer somatic analyses, we anticipate utility of TMC-SNPdb in several Mendelian germline diseases.
Project description:Sequencing of mRNA from ID8 tumor cells and ID8 tumor cells harvested from ascites of mice 11 weeks after intra peritoneal inoculation show acquisition of cancer stem cell-like features in ascitic tumor cells.
Project description:Whole exome sequencing of a cell line derived from an Rb1 and Trp53 genetically engineered mouse model (GEMM) to assess the baseline copy number landscape of the cells prior to experimental modification.
Project description:Primary uveal melanomas show multiple genetic alterations. To determine mutational status of six human primary uveal melanomas, we performed whole exome sequencing (WES) and called Single Nucleotide Polimorphism (SNPs) to identify somatic mutations in these human primary uveal melanomas.
