Fresh frozen gastric adenocarcinoma and matched germline DNA samples were obtained from 295 patients under IRB approved protocols. Genomic material and (when available) protein were subjected to single nucleotide polymorphism array somatic copy-number analysis, whole-exome sequencing, mRNA sequencing, miRNA sequencing, array-based DNA methylation profiling and reverse-phase protein arrays. A subset of samples was subjected to whole-genome sequencing. Initial analysis centred on the development of a classification scheme for gastric cancer. Subsequent analysis identified key features from each of the genomic/molecular platforms, looking both for features found across gastric cancer and those characteristic of individual gastric cancer subtypes.
