Normal and Cancerous Tissues Release Extrachromosomal Circular DNA (eccDNA) into the Circulation
26 May 2017
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Cell-free circulating linear DNA is being explored for noninvasive diagnosis and management of tumors and fetuses, the so-called liquid biopsy. Previously, we observed the presence of small extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA), called microDNA, in the nuclei of mammalian tissues and cell lines. Now, we demonstrate that cell-free microDNA derived from uniquely mapping regions of the genome is detectable...
