Abstract excerpt
Liquid biopsies that analyze circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) hold great promise in the guidance of clinical treatment for various cancers. However, the innate characteristics of ctDNA make it a difficult target: ctDNA is highly fragmented, and found at very low concentrations, both in absolute terms and relative to wildtype species. Clinically relevant target sequences often differ from the wildtype species by a...
