Assessment of minimal residual disease in acute lymphoblastic leukemia by immune repertoire NGS requires spiking CDR3 sequences at known quantities into the patient's sample. Recently, the EuroClonality-NGS group released one of the most comprehensive protocols for this purpose. ARResT/Interrogate is a closed-source software for processing these NGS libraries, developed by this same group. Vidjil, an open-source alternative, currently cannot handle libraries prepared using this protocol. Here, we present a Vidjil add-on to solve this issue. EuroClonality-NGS prepared samples analyzed with Vidjil and ARResT/Interrogate were highly concordant (r = 0.998) and presented low error (root-mean-square error, RMSE = 0.112).
RESUMEN
Current guidelines for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) recommend mutation status determination of the clonotypic IGHV gene before treatment initiation to guide the choice of first-line therapy. Currently, commercially available next-generation sequencing (NGS) solutions have technical constraints, as they necessitate at least a 2 × 300 bp sequencing, which restricts their use for routine practice. The cost of the commercial kits also represents an important drawback. We present a new method called Next-CLL, a ready-to-use strategy to evaluate IGHV gene mutation status using any NGS device (including 2 × 150 bp sequencers) in routine diagnostic laboratories. The performance of Next-CLL was validated on genomic DNA and cDNA obtained from 80 patients with CLL at diagnosis. Next-CLL identified a productive clone in 100% of cases, whereas PCR with Sanger sequencing led to a 12.5% failure rate. Next-CLL had 100% concordance with the reference technique for IGHV gene identification and allowed assessment of the IGHV mutation status from the leader sequence, following international guidelines. Comparing a large retrospective series of samples, analyzed by using Sanger sequencing (n = 773) or Next-CLL (n = 352), showed no bias in IGHV usage or mutational status, further validating our strategy in the real-life setting. Next-CLL represents a straightforward workflow for IGHV analysis in routine practice to assess clonal architecture and prognosis of patients with CLL.

Within the EuroClonality-NGS group, immune repertoire analysis for target identification in lymphoid malignancies was initially developed using two-stage amplicon approaches, essentially as a progressive modification of preceding methods developed for Sanger sequencing. This approach has, however, limitations with respect to sample handling, adaptation to automation, and risk of contamination by amplicon products. We therefore developed one-step PCR amplicon methods with individual barcoding for batched analysis for IGH, IGK, TRD, TRG, and TRB rearrangements, followed by Vidjil-based data analysis.

The prognostic value of IL7-receptor pathway (IL7Rp) mutations in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) remains unclear. We performed a comprehensive study of 200 adult patients with T-ALL included in the GRAALL2003/2005 protocols to address the clinical significance of IL7Rp mutations. Next-generation sequencing of the IL7Rp (IL7R/JAK1/JAK3/STAT5B) revealed that IL7Rp mutations were frequent in adult T-ALL (28%) particularly in immature/early T-cell progenitor (ETP)-ALL. They were associated with mutations of NOTCH-pathway, PHF6, and PRC2 components but not with K/NRAS. IL7Rp mutated (IL7Rpmut) T-ALL were slow-responders, with a high rate of M2/M3 day-8 marrow compared with IL7Rp non-mutated (IL7RpWT) T-ALL (p = 0.002) and minimal residual disease positivity at 6-weeks (MRD1) (p = 0.008) but no difference in MRD2 positivity at 12-weeks. Despite this, no adverse prognosis was evidenced when censored for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). In time-dependent analysis, HSCT did not benefit IL7Rpmut patients whereas it was of marked benefit to IL7RpWT cases. IL7Rp-mutations identify a subgroup of slow-responder T-ALLs which benefit from post-induction chemotherapy regimens but not from HSCT. Our data suggest that prior knowledge of the mutation status of IL7Rp may influence HSCT decision and help to guide therapy reduction.

RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: The B and T lymphocytes are white blood cells playing a key role in the adaptive immunity. A part of their DNA, called the V(D)J recombinations, is specific to each lymphocyte, and enables recognition of specific antigenes. Today, with new sequencing techniques, one can get billions of DNA sequences from these regions. With dedicated Repertoire Sequencing (RepSeq) methods, it is now possible to picture population of lymphocytes, and to monitor more accurately the immune response as well as pathologies such as leukemia. METHODS AND RESULTS: Vidjil is an open-source platform for the interactive analysis of high-throughput sequencing data from lymphocyte recombinations. It contains an algorithm gathering reads into clonotypes according to their V(D)J junctions, a web application made of a sample, experiment and patient database and a visualization for the analysis of clonotypes along the time. Vidjil is implemented in C++, Python and Javascript and licensed under the GPLv3 open-source license. Source code, binaries and a public web server are available at http://www.vidjil.org and at http://bioinfo.lille.inria.fr/vidjil. Using the Vidjil web application consists of four steps: 1. uploading a raw sequence file (typically a FASTQ); 2. running RepSeq analysis software; 3. visualizing the results; 4. annotating the results and saving them for future use. For the end-user, the Vidjil web application needs no specific installation and just requires a connection and a modern web browser. Vidjil is used by labs in hematology or immunology for research and clinical applications.

Although understood in many vertebrate systems, the natural diversity of host-associated microbiota has been little studied in teleosts. For migratory fishes, successful exploitation of multiple habitats may affect and be affected by the composition of the intestinal microbiome. We collected 96 Salmo salar from across the Atlantic encompassing both freshwater and marine phases. Dramatic differences between environmental and gut bacterial communities were observed. Furthermore, community composition was not significantly impacted by geography. Instead life-cycle stage strongly defined both the diversity and identity of microbial assemblages in the gut, with evidence for community destabilisation in migratory phases. Mycoplasmataceae phylotypes were abundantly recovered in all life-cycle stages. Patterns of Mycoplasmataceae phylotype recruitment to the intestinal microbial community among sites and life-cycle stages support a dual role for deterministic and stochastic processes in defining the composition of the S. salar gut microbiome.
