Characterizing the molecular composition and diagnostic potential of Mycobacterium tuberculosis urinary cell-free DNA using next-generation sequencing
22 Sept 2021
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Urine cell-free DNA (cfDNA) is an attractive target for diagnosing pulmonary Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) infection, but has not been thoroughly characterized as a biomarker. METHODS: This study was performed to investigate the size and composition of urine cfDNA from tuberculosis (TB) patients with minimal bias using next-generation sequencing (NGS). A combination of DNA extraction and...
