Abstract

Non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC), the most common form of lung cancer, is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. We perform whole-genome sequencing (WGS) on samples from 43 primary patients with NSCLC and matched normal samples and analyze their matched open chromatin data and transcriptome data. Our results indicate that next-generation sequencing (NGS) and the Bionano Genomics (BNG) platform should be viewed as complementary technologies in terms of structural variations detection. By creating a framework integrating these two platforms, we detect high-technical-confidence somatic structural variations (SVs) in NSCLC cases, which could aid in the efficient investigation of new candidate oncogenes, such as TRIO and SESTD1. Our findings highlight the impact of somatic SVs on NSCLC oncogenesis and lay a foundation for exploring associations among somatic SVs, gene expression, and regulatory networks in patients with NSCLC.
