Project description:Single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) was used to profile the transcriptome of 16,015 nuclei in human adult testis. This dataset includes five samples from two different individuals. This dataset is part of a larger evolutionary study of adult testis at the single-nucleus level (97,521 single-nuclei in total) across mammals including 10 representatives of the three main mammalian lineages: human, chimpanzee, bonobo, gorilla, gibbon, rhesus macaque, marmoset, mouse (placental mammals); grey short-tailed opossum (marsupials); and platypus (egg-laying monotremes). Corresponding data were generated for a bird (red junglefowl, the progenitor of domestic chicken), to be used as an evolutionary outgroup.
Project description:Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients carrying complex karyotype or aneuploidies have a very poor prognosis, with a 5-year overall survival lower than 20%. We and others have shown that complex karyotype and aneuploid patients are characterized by high genomic instability, along with defects of DNA damage response genes and, occasionally, by chromothripsis. Chromothripsis frequently occurs in AML (6.6%) and influences patient prognosis and disease biology. Moreover, the homology recombination pathway is frequently deregulated at expression level in AML. We showed that PALB2 is affect by copy-number deletions in AML (5.2%) and it may be a potential biomarker for very-poor prognosis AML.
