RNA-seq of human ex vivo ovarian cancer models - part III

Ascites or solid tumour samples from patients with ovarian cancer were collected and grown in culture as ex vivo models of purified tumour cells. RNA-seq was performed on these models to establish gene expression profiles, which allow identification of genes that are differentially expressed between patients with differing tumour intrinsic properties. These samples have been interrogated for the presence of a gene expression signature indicative of sensitivity to an inhibitor of poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG). These samples are processed in the same manner as previous studies: “E-MTAB-7223 - RNA-seq of human ex vivo ovarian cancer models with matched stromal cells” and “E-MTAB-10801 - RNA-seq of human ex vivo ovarian cancer models with matched stromal cells - part II” with no stromal counterparts included in this current sequencing batch.
