Authentication and characterisation of a new oesophageal adenocarcinoma cell line: MFD-1

Whole genome sequencing (WGS) from snap-frozen oesophageal tumour tissue and germline nucleic acids isolated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) was performed as part of the International Cancer Genome Consortium project and OCCAMS consortium (1,2). Filtered read sequences were mapped to the human reference genome (GRCh37) using Burrows-Wheeler Alignment (BWA). In the matched tumour/germline samples, somatic acquired mutation identification was performed using a Bayesian algorithm implemented in the tool Seurat (3). Functional annotation of identified somatic mutations was performed with the tool SnpEff (4). CNV detection was performed with the tool Control-FREEC (5) 1) Weaver, J. M. et al.
