In cancer, genetic and transcriptomic variations generate clonal heterogeneity, possibly leading to treatment resistance. Long-read single-cell RNA sequencing (LR scRNA-seq) has the potential to detect genetic and transcriptomic variations simultaneously. Here, we present LongSom, a computational workflow leveraging LR scRNA-seq data to call de novo somatic single-nucleotide variants (SNVs), copy-number alterations (CNAs), and gene fusions to reconstruct the tumor clonal heterogeneity. For SNV calling, LongSom distinguishes somatic SNVs from germline polymorphisms by reannotating marker gene expression-based cell types using called variants and applying strict filters. Applying LongSom to ovarian cancer samples, we detected clinically relevant somatic SNVs that were validated against single-cell and bulk panel DNA-seq data and could not be detected with short-read (SR) scRNA-seq. Leveraging somatic SNVs and fusions, LongSom found subclones with different predicted treatment outcomes. In summary, LongSom enables de novo SNVs, CNAs, and fusions detection, thus enabling the study of cancer evolution, clonal heterogeneity, and treatment resistance.

A software package to analyze next-generation resequencing data. The toolkit offers a wide variety of tools, with a primary focus on variant discovery and genotyping as well as strong emphasis on data quality assurance. Its robust architecture, powerful processing engine and high-performance computing features make it capable of taking on projects of any size. This software library makes writing efficient analysis tools using next-generation sequencing data very easy, and second it's a suite of tools for working with human medical resequencing projects such as 1000 Genomes and The Cancer Genome Atlas. These tools include things like a depth of coverage analyzers, a quality score recalibrator, a SNP/indel caller and a local realigner. (entry from Genetic Analysis Software)

View all literature mentionsWeb service for permanent archiving and sharing of all types of personally identifiable genetic and phenotypic data resulting from biomedical research projects. The repository allows you to explore datasets from numerous genotype experiments, supplied by a range of data providers. The EGA''s role is to provide secure access to the data that otherwise could not be distributed to the research community. The EGA contains exclusive data collected from individuals whose consent agreements authorize data release only for specific research use or to bona fide researchers. Strict protocols govern how information is managed, stored and distributed by the EGA project. As an example, only members of the EGA team are allowed to process data in a secure computing facility. Once processed, all data are encrypted for dissemination and the encryption keys are delivered offline. The EGA also supports data access only for the consortium members prior to publication.
