Please contact us with any questions or comments.
Sid was diagnosed with 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 ×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 |
Interactive visualization of treatment history, MRD measurements, procedures, and imaging from November 2022 to present.
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.
Whole-genome, whole-exome, bulk and single-cell RNA-seq across multiple timepoints — variant calling pipelines, mutations, copy number, neoantigen vaccine targets, and transcriptomics.
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.
Full-body PET/CT scans with LION tumor segmentation, plus 12 high-resolution microscopy images of tumor tissue specimens.
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.
Information about osteosarcoma cell lines including HOS, U-2 OS, and CAL-72 with genomic profiles and curated citations.
25TB of data: bulk WGS, WES, RNA-seq, scRNA-seq, long-read sequencing (ONT), spatial transcriptomics, imaging (H&E, IHC), and HLA typing.
