Detection of cell-free microbial DNA using a contaminant-controlled analysis framework
23 Jun 2021
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The human microbiome plays an important role in cancer. Accumulating evidence indicates that commensal microbiome-derived DNA may be represented in minute quantities in the cell-free DNA of human blood and could possibly be harnessed as a new cancer biomarker. However, there has been limited use of rigorous experimental controls to account for contamination, which invariably affects low-biomass...
