Identification of an Immunogenic Medulloblastoma-Specific Fusion Involving EPC2 and GULP1

2021

Medulloblastoma is the most common malignant brain tumor in children. Immunotherapy is yet to demonstrate dramatic results in medulloblastoma, one reason being the low rate of mutations creating new antigens in this entity. In tumors with low mutational burden, gene fusions may represent a source of tumor-specific neoantigens. Here, we reviewed the landscape of fusions in medulloblastoma and analyzed their predicted immunogenicity. Furthermore, we described a new in-frame fusion protein identified by RNA-Seq. The fusion involved two genes on chromosome 2 coding for the enhancer of polycomb homolog 2 (EPC2) and GULP PTB domain containing engulfment adaptor 1 (GULP1) respectively. By qRT-PCR …

Statistical guidelines for quality control of next-generation sequencing techniques.

2021

Condition-specific statistical guidelines and accurate classification trees for quality control of functional genomics NGS files (RNA-seq, ChIP-seq and DNase-seq) have been generated using thousands of reference files from the ENCODE project and made available to the community.
