RNAseq of 704 patients with soft tissue tumors

The dataset contains transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) data of 704 soft tissue tumors (STT) from 704 patients. The sequencing data comes in FASTQ format and contains 1408 files. A total of 56 different STT types were included in the present study and each tumor type was represented by >2 samples. The vast majority of the patients had been diagnosed and treated at the sarcoma centers in Lund (Sweden) or Stockholm (Sweden) during the period 1988-2020, but also a few samples from other centers, obtained through previous collaborative projects, were included. RNA was extracted from fresh frozen tumor material and samples were primary lesions unless otherwise indicated. The sequencing was performed using 2x150 bp paired-end chemistry on a series of Illumina instruments at various facilities during the period 2013-2023.Samples were obtained after informed consent from the patients and the study was approved by the regional ethics committee (Etikprövningsmyndigheten, Uppsala, dnr 2023-01550-01, dnr 2025-02997-02).
