Abstract
Abstract
Breast cancers (BC) in younger, premenopausal patients (YBC) tend to be more aggressive with worse prognosis, higher chance of relapse and poorer response to endocrine therapies compared to breast cancers in older patients. The proportion of YBC (age ≤ 40) among BC in East Asia is estimated to be 16-32%, significantly higher than the 7% reported in Western countries. To characterize the molecular bases of Asian YBC, we have performed whole-exome sequencing (WES) and whole-transcriptome sequencing (WTS) on tumor and matched normal samples from 134 Korean BC patients consisting of 74 YBC cases (age ≤ 40) and 60 OBC cases (age > 40). We then performed comparison analyses and integrative analyses with the TCGA BC cohort consisting of 1,116 tumors from primarily Caucasian patients, also grouped by age into YBC (age ≤ 40), IBC (40 < age ≤ 60) and OBC (age > 60).
Somatic mutation prevalence analysis identified 7 significantly mutated genes and the same top three genes – TP53, GATA3 and PIK3CA – were reported by the TCGA BC study. To identify differentially expressed (DE) genes and pathways in YBCs vs. OBCs, we performed logistic regression analyses while controlling for the confounding effects of tumor purity and stage. We were surprised to see a significant overlap in DE pathways between a comparison of adjacent normal tissues in younger vs. older TCGA cohorts and a comparison of YBC vs. OBC tumors, indicating that normal tissue compartment could contribute to observed differences between bulk tumors. To separately examine molecular signatures from tumor, stroma and normal compartments, we used non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) analyses to virtually dissect bulk tumor expression data and identified 14 factors including 3 factors associated with normal tissues, 1 factor associated with stroma and 1 factor associated with tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL). Integrative analyses of tumor associated factors and DE pathways revealed that estrogen response, endocrine therapy resistance, and oxidative phosphorylation pathways are up-regulated in YBCs compared to OBCs while cell cycle and proliferation pathways are up-regulated in Asian OBCs. Interestingly, many immune and inflammation pathways correlated with the TIL factor were significantly upregulated in OBCs vs. YBCs. Using gene expression signatures representing distinct immune cell types, we classified our cohort into four subtypes of varying TIL activities and observed significant enrichment of the TIL-high subtype in OBCs compared to YBCs. These observations were confirmed by IHC analyses of four TIL markers (CD45, CD4, CD8 and CD163) in 120 tumors.
To our knowledge, this is the first large-scale multi-omics study of Asian breast cancer and would significantly contribute to the compendium of molecular data available for studying young breast cancers. The major landmarks in the molecular landscape looked similar across BCs of different ethnicities and ages, however, we have identified a number of distinguishing molecular characteristics associated with Asian YBC. The sources for some signatures were further traced to non-tumor intrinsic compartments, indicating that tumor microenvironment may play potentially important roles in driving the carcinogenesis of young breast cancers.

Abstract
The Ensembl project (http://www.ensembl.org) is a comprehensive genome information system featuring an integrated set of genome annotation, databases, and other information for chordate, selected model organism and disease vector genomes. As of release 51 (November 2008), Ensembl fully supports 45 species, and three additional species have preliminary support. New species in the past year include orangutan and six additional low coverage mammalian genomes. Major additions and improvements to Ensembl since our previous report include a major redesign of our website; generation of multiple genome alignments and ancestral sequences using the new Enredo-Pecan-Ortheus pipeline and development of our software infrastructure, particularly to support the Ensembl Genomes project (http://www.ensemblgenomes.org/).

Abstract
The Ensembl (http://www.ensembl.org/) project provides a comprehensive and integrated source of annotation of chordate genome sequences. Over the past year the number of genomes available from Ensembl has increased from 15 to 33, with the addition of sites for the mammalian genomes of elephant, rabbit, armadillo, tenrec, platypus, pig, cat, bush baby, common shrew, microbat and european hedgehog; the fish genomes of stickleback and medaka and the second example of the genomes of the sea squirt (Ciona savignyi) and the mosquito (Aedes aegypti). Some of the major features added during the year include the first complete gene sets for genomes with low-sequence coverage, the introduction of new strain variation data and the introduction of new orthology/paralog annotations based on gene trees.
