Timeline

Sid was diagnosed with TFE3-amplified osteosarcoma in November 2022. The primary tumor was resected from the spine in December 2022 (T0). Disease recurred at the Th4 vertebra in June 2024 (T1, UCLA), at Th4–Th5 in January 2025 (T2, UCLA), and was excised in April 2025 (T3, MSKCC). The interactive Timeline tracks the clinical journey, including treatments, residual disease testing (MRD), flow cytometry measurements, and lab results.

Date Timepoint Location Assays
2022-12-16 T0 UCSF (spine resection) WES Γ—4, WGS, WTS
2024-06-06 T1 UCLA (Th4 biopsy) WGS, WTS, scRNA-seq
2025-01-28 T2 UCLA (Th4–Th5 biopsy) WGS, WTS, scRNA-seq
2025-04-17 T3 MSKCC (Th4–Th5 excision) scRNA-seq
Treatment Timeline

Treatment Timeline

Interactive visualization of treatment history, MRD measurements, procedures, and imaging from November 2022 to present.

Genomics

Tumor and blood specimens have been profiled with whole-genome sequencing (WGS), whole-exome sequencing (WES), bulk RNA-seq, and single-cell RNA-seq across multiple timepoints and sequencing providers. These pages show complementary views of the molecular data: raw alignments, gene expression, pathway enrichment, copy-number changes, and neoantigen targets of personalized vaccines.

Bulk RNA-seq

Bulk RNA-seq

Interactive explorer for bulk RNA-seq gene expression across multiple assays (BostonGene, Tempus, Personalis) with GTEx and PCAWG comparisons, copy number context, and single-cell overlays.

scRNA-seq

scRNA-seq

Single-cell RNA-seq from:

  • Tumor biopsies at time points T1, T2, and T3
  • CD3+ PBMC at eight time points

Gene Set Enrichment Analysis

Gene Set Enrichment Analysis

GSEA of the single-cell RNA-seq data from tumor. Limma and DESeq2 results from two levels of cell clusters from tumor single-cell RNA-seq from T1, T2, and T3.

BAM Browser

BAM Browser

Interactive IGV genome browser for viewing aligned sequencing data (BAM/BigWig) across WGS, long-read, single-cell, and RNA-seq experiments.

Copy Number Variation

Copy Number Variation

Interactive genome browser showing ASCAT copy number analysis from whole genome sequencing at two timepoints (T1: June 2024, T2: January 2025).

Vaccine Neoantigen Overlap

Vaccine Neoantigen Overlap

UpSet plot of neoantigen mutations across five personalized cancer vaccines (mRNA, JLF V1–V3, CeGaT) with variant allele frequency trends and ELISPOT results.

Imaging

Longitudinal whole-body PET/CT scans (FDG and Ga68-PSMA) track disease across timepoints, while tissue from the T0 resection was profiled with complementary microscopy platforms: H&E histology, immunohistochemistry (B7-H3, EphA2), Orion 18-plex immune imaging (HMS), and Xenium spatial transcriptomics — characterizing the tumor microenvironment at the protein and transcript levels.

Imaging

Imaging

Full-body PET/CT scans with LION tumor segmentation, plus 12 high-resolution microscopy images of tumor tissue specimens.

Resources

Reference material for this dataset — osteosarcoma cell lines (HOS, U-2 OS, CAL-72) for comparative analyses, and a catalog of all raw and processed files (~25 TB) in the project bucket.

Cell Lines

Information about osteosarcoma cell lines including HOS, U-2 OS, and CAL-72 with genomic profiles and curated citations.

Data Files

25TB of data: bulk WGS, WES, RNA-seq, scRNA-seq, long-read sequencing (ONT), spatial transcriptomics, imaging (H&E, IHC), and HLA typing.
