Molecular Profiling to Improve Outcome of Patients in Cancer. A Pilot Study

"Tumor and blood samples will be sequenced at medium-high coverage at the whole genome (exome) and transcriptome levels (RNA Seq). This will allow detecting variants in a larger set of samples even though only from the main clone will be precisely measured. The whole exome will be performed at a mean coverage of at least 60x for the normal DNA samples and 120x for the tumor DNA samples. The transcriptome of the tumor will be performed at enough depth of coverage to detect gene fusions, transcriptome variants and measure the digital expression of already annotated isoforms.~For both sequencing configurations:~* Data from each cancer and normal genome will be analysed for the presence of somatic variants.~* DNA and RNA sequencing results will be integrated.~* Technical replication for the mutations / chromosome alterations / transcript fusions that most likely drive the tumour process will be performed via Target Resequencing of the genomic / coding regions of interest."
