Genomic DNA quality was determined by estimating the A260/A280 and A260/A230 ratios by nanodrop and concentration by Qubit dsDNA BR Assay. DNA integrity and size was confirmed by running an Agilent Bioanalyzer gel. Genomic DNA (1 µg) was sheared to a fragment length of 150–200 bp using a focused acoustic energy Covaris E220 system (Covaris, part#500003). Fragmented sample size distribution was determined by the Caliper LabChip GX system (PerkinElmer, Part#122000). Unmethylated C residues of enriched DNA were modified by bisulfite conversion using EZ DNA Methylation-Gold Kit (Zymo Research, part#D5005). Indexed paired-end whole genome sequencing libraries are prepared using SureSelect XT Methyl-Seq kit (Agilent, part#G9651B).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) experiments, prepared cells were collected following 48 h of lentiviral infection and 5-d selection (unless otherwise indicate) with puromycin or blasticidin. Capture of chromatin-bound proteins was performed using standard protocols (Millipore). Briefly, cells were crosslinked with 1% formaldehyde for 10 min at 37 °C, the reaction was quenched by addition of 125 mM glycine for 5 min and then five (for synovial sarcoma cell lines) or ten (for fibroblast cell lines) million fixed cells were used per experiment. Chromatin was fragmented by sonication with a Covaris E220 system and the solubilized chromatin was incubated with a primary antibody overnight at 4 °C to form antibody–chromatin complexes. These complexes were incubated with protein G Dynabeads (Thermo Scientific) for 3 h at 4 °C then the beads were washed three times and eluted. The samples then underwent crosslink reversal, treatment with RNase A (Roche) and treatment with proteinase K (Thermo Scientific) followed by DNA capture with AMP Pure beads (Beckman Coulter).

Genomic DNA was extracted from whole blood of 11 cases and two unaffected siblings (a brother and a sister) of TN4 (TN1-10 and TN12) with informed consent using NucleoSpin Tissue kit (#740952, Machery-Nagel, Duren, Germany) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Exome library preparation and sequencing were performed by the Yale Center for Genome Analysis. Briefly, 1 µg of genomic DNA was sheared into fragments with the Covaris E220 system (Covaris, Woburn, MA, United States), followed by end-repair, A-tailing, ligation of multiplexing adaptors, and pre-capture ligation-mediated PCR amplification. The quantification and insert size distribution of product were determined using Caliper LabChip GX system (PerkinElmer Inc., Santa Clara, CA, USA). Exome library was captured using IDT xGen Exome Research Panel V1.0 (Integrated DNA Technologies, Coralville, IA, USA), and quantified by qRT-PCR using a commercially available kit (KAPA Biosystems, Wilmington MA, USA). Libraries were then loaded onto S4 flowcell and sequenced on the Illumina NovaSeq6000 platform using 101 bp paired-end sequencing reads according to Illumina protocols (Illumina Inc., San Diego, CA, USA).

Enzymatic Methylation-Sequencing Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Approximately 5 ng of genomic DNA was extracted from ∼1.5 × 105 nuclei of each type of sample, using DNeasy Plant Pro Kit (QIAGEN), and treated with RNase A (Thermo Scientific) to remove any contaminating RNA. Subsequently, ∼5 ng DNA (including 0.02 ng of unmethylated lambda DNA and 0.001 ng of >96% methylated pUC19 DNA spiked in) was sheared to 100–500-bp fragments using a focused ultrasonicator (Covaris E220 system), in microtubes at a setting of 175 peak incident power, 10 dc, 200 cpb for 40 s. Enzymatic methyl-sequencing (EM-seq) libraries were prepared from sheared DNA using NEBNext Enzymatic Methyl-seq Kit following the manufacturer instructions (New England BioLabs). Due to the amount of starting DNA material being lower than 10 ng, the minimum recommended amount of starting material by the manufacturer, we added two PCR cycles at the final step of PCR amplification of the sequencing libraries. Libraries were sequenced on NovaSeq 6000 system (Novogene) for collecting 2× 150-bp paired-end reads that passed the Illumina quality control filter (Supplementary Table 8).

The Illumina paired-end libraries (Illumina, Inc.) techniques were used to detect and design the entire genome library and sequencing, as previously explained [30 (link)]. The amplified DNA (900 ng to 1 μg) from the advanced melanoma cell lines C8161, MUM-2B, and SK-MEL-28 was sheared into fragments of about 300 bp using a Covaris E220 system(Covaris Inc.). An aliquot of adaptor-ligated DNA was generated to use in the enrichment qPCR to establish the adaptor for Illumina PE sequencing. The pooled DNA (600 ng) from four barcoded libraries was utilized for hybridization and post-hybridization amplification according to the manufacturer’s instructions (SureSelectXT Target Enrichment System for Illumina Paired-End Sequencing Library; Illumina, Inc.). The results of the PCR amplification of cell lines were quality confirmed, and Illumina HiSeq 2000 (Illumina, Inc.) was used for WGS, with an average coverage depth of between 10x and 30x.
