Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Sequencing analysis of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) enables "liquid biopsy" to guide precision oncology strategies. However, this requires low-template whole genome amplification (WGA) that is prone to errors and biases from uneven amplifications. Currently, quality control (QC) methods for WGA products, as well as the number of CTCs needed for reliable downstream sequencing, remain poorly defined....
