The germline and tumour DNA were tested using Illumina Infinium arrays (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA) according to manufacturer’s instructions. DNA from tumour and matched normal underwent whole-genome paired-end sequencing using an Illumina X-Ten. Sequence reads were trimmed using Cutadapt (version 1.11)28 and aligned to GRCh37 using BWA-MEM (version 0.7.12)29 . Duplicate alignments were marked with Picard (version 1.129, http://picard.sourceforge.net) and BAM files were coordinated-sorted using Samtools (version 1.3)30 (link). Mean coverage was determined using samtools and the following command: samtools depth -a bam_file | awk ‘{sum + =$3} END { print “Average = “,sum/NR}’ > output_coverage. Tumours were sequenced to an average read depth of ~70 × (range of 55X–104X) and normal to ~36 × (range of 28X–44X). The WGS data have been deposited in the European Genome-phenome Archive (EGA) repository under the accession code EGAS000010033031 .
