Abstract excerpt
Advances in sequencing technologies facilitate personalized disease-risk profiling and clinical diagnosis. In recent years, some great progress has been made in noninvasive diagnoses based on cell-free DNAs (cfDNAs). It exploits the fact that dead cells release DNA fragments into the circulation, and some DNA fragments carry information that indicates their tissues-of-origin (TOOs). Based on the signals used for...
