Popis: Patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models are in vivo models of human cancer that have been used for translational cancer research and therapy selection for individual patients. The Jackson Laboratory (JAX) PDX resource has over 450 models representing more than 20 different types of cancer. The models undergo rigorous quality control and are genomically characterized to identify somatic mutations, copy number alterations, and transcriptional profiles. Bioinformatics workflows for analyzing genomic data obtained from human tumors engrafted in a mouse host (i.e., Patient-Derived Xenografts; PDXs) must address challenges such as discriminating between mouse and human sequence reads and accurately identifying somatic mutations and copy number alterations when paired non-tumor DNA from the patient is not available for comparison. Here we describe bioinformatics analysis workflows and guidelines (https://github.com/TheJacksonLaboratory/PDX-Analysis-Workflows) that we developed specifically for the analysis of genomic data generated from PDX tumors. Our workflows incorporate commonly used software and public databases but are tailored to address the specific challenges of PDX genomics data analysis through parameter tuning and customized data filters and result in improved accuracy for the detection of somatic alterations in PDX models. We also report a gene expression-based classifier that can identify EBV-transformed tumors. Finally, to demonstrate the effectiveness of our workflows, we show the overall concordance of the genomic and transcriptomic profiles of the PDX models in the JAX PDX resource with relevant tumor types from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Using the reliable results obtained from the PDX genomics data analysis, we are able to compare the patient tumor with different PDX passages, perform classification analysis to verify the annotations of PDX tumors, as well as associate genomic signatures of each PDX tumor with results from dosing studies.
