• STOP-HCV: “stratified medicine to optimise treatment for
patients with HCV”
• Research grant from MRC (UK); £5 million
• 22 Co-investigators (UK and US partners)-led by Ellie
Barnes, Oxford University
• Working in collaboration with HCV research UK (Glasgow
University)-biobanking 10,000 samples from 42 NHS sites

Stratified Medicine to Optimise Treatment for
Hepatitis C Virus Infection
1. Viral genomic sequencing methodological
evaluation
2. Viral genetic determinants and treatment
outcome in HCV genotype 3 infection
3. Viral genomic determinants in patients
receiving novel therapies (PEG/RV/DAA or
combination DAAs)
4. Viral genetic determinants in genotype 1
infection
5. Assessment of genomic sequence in
cirrhotic patients who do/do not develop
HCC
6. Assessment of viral genetic determinants
in HIV-infected patients

Whole genome sequencing of HCV methods
PCR-based
enrichment
Metagenomic/RNASeq
Target
1. Synthesise Viral cDNA
2. Fragment
3. Ligate adaptors + indexes
4. Sequence
Preliminary results
Genotype 1a
Genotype 1b
Genotype 4
Genotype 3a
Genotype 2
Maximum likelihood
tree constructed
using MEGA 6.0, GTR
model with 1000
bootstrap replicates.
Branch thickness is
proportional to
• Consensus sequences similar
across 3 centres
• PCR-based method resulted in
more divergent consensus
sequences
• 100% success with
metagenomic and target
enrichment approaches
• 87% success with PCR
• Low level contamination
occurred frequently with
target enrichment
• Resistance profile of selected
majority variants identical

Probe library includes 1a, 2b, 3a and 4a
Sample is genotype 1a
Depth of coverage
(with enrichment)
Depth of coverage
(no enrichment)
Viral RNAseq (no enrichment) Viral RNAseq + enrichment
HCV genome position
When probe subtype matches the sample subtype,
the enrichment is effectively unbiased.

Pros
Pros
Minimal selection-bias
Minimal human contamination
Diverse genotype sequencing (a priori)
Greater depth of coverage
Other pathogens and co-infections
Fewer failures
DNA and RNA
Cheaper (pounds, plasma, processing time and
terabytes of data)
Cons
Requires higher viral load or more
sequencing
Contamination with human DNA/rRNA
Cons
No metagenomic data
More opportunities for contamination between
samples
Expensive (pounds, plasma, processing time and
terabytes)

Bioinformatic analysis
Tanoti – a novel small genome
mapper
•
•
•
Developed in C programming language
Memory efficient algorithm
Requires BLAST, AWK, SED and SHELL
libraries
Pros:
• Fast and Sensitive
• Better handling of reads with InDels
• Superior coverage and depth
• Handles single and paired end reads
Green circles - number of reads
mapped only by Tanoti
Blue circles - number of reads
mapped only by alternative
mapper
Intersection values - reads
mapped by both programs
Read depth and coverage by Tanoti and BWA
(a) Percentage of simulated reads without indels mapped
erroneously with indels. (b) Percentage of simulated reads
with insertions mapped erroneously with deletions.

HCV Database Overview
The example shown below is just one scenario under which
sequence data and clinical data are linked.
Protocols for linking data in the ‘patient’, ‘sample’ and
‘sequence’ domains of the HCV database should probably be
explicitly defined.
