The genomic landscape of recurrent ovarian high grade serous carcinoma: the BriTROC-1 study

The BriTROC-1 study, spanning 15 centres across the United Kingdom, is a prospective observational project investigating putative causes of relapse in high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC). Potential genomic changes associated with disease recurrence are examined by studying paired tumour samples collected from patients at diagnosis and after relapse after receiving platinum based chemotherapy. Shallow whole genome sequencing and targeted amplicon sequencing are used to identify copy number aberrations and short variants respectively.

Dataset ID	Description	Technology	Samples
EGAD00001011049	This dataset contains a collection of tumour samples from high grade serous ovarian carcinoma patients with recurrent disease collected near the point of diagnosis as well as tumour samples collected after patient relapse upon or some time after study entry. The majority of diagnosis samples were preserved in neutral buffered formalin whereas the majority of post-relapse samples were preserved in universal molecular fixative (UMFIX, Sakura Finetek USA, Inc). DNA was extracted and whole genome sequencing libraries were prepared either using the TruSeq DNA Nano kit (Illumina) or the ThruPLEX DNA-Seq Kit (Takara Bio), which were respectively sequenced at low depth (~0.1-0.5X) on illumina HiSeq 2500 and HiSeq 4000 sequencing platforms. Sequenced reads were aligned to the GRCh37 reference genome (release hs37d5).	Illumina HiSeq 2500 Illumina HiSeq 4000	679
EGAD00001011058	This dataset contains a collection of tumour samples from high grade serous ovarian carcinoma patients with recurrent disease collected near the point of diagnosis as well as tumour samples collected after patient relapse upon or some time after study entry. Whole blood samples were also collected from patients at study entry for the purpose of germline variant detection. The majority of diagnosis samples were preserved in neutral buffered formalin whereas the majority of post-relapse samples were preserved in universal molecular fixative (UMFIX, Sakura Finetek USA, Inc). DNA was extracted and the tagged-amplicon deep sequencing assay was applied (TAm-Seq, Forshew et al. 2002, Sci Transl Med) with the aid of fluidigm access array technology. Targeted loci were sequenced at very high depths (typically >100X) for the detection of both somatic and germline variants. Sequenced reads were aligned to the GRCh37 reference genome (release hs37d5).	Illumina HiSeq 2500 Illumina HiSeq 4000 Illumina MiSeq	933
