Version 1: We have performed integrative analyses of breast cancer tumors, including whole exome sequencing (WES) of tumor and normal pairs, whole transcriptome sequencing, and single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) or single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq), to determine molecular correlates of response to novel and immune therapies. We have focused on dissecting the role of anticancer immunity in response to these therapies and understanding biological mechanisms underlying therapeutic resistance. The goal of this work is to advance a precision medicine approach to breast cancer treatment by identifying molecular biomarkers to improve therapy selection and novel therapeutic targets to overcome resistance. Version 2: We performed bulk whole exome sequencing (WES) of fresh frozen tissue from primary hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. Additionally, where available, we performed bulk whole transcriptome sequencing for the same individuals (tumor only). Additionally, we performed single cell sequencing on fresh frozen tissue from primary hormone receptor-positive breast cancer.
