CRAG: de novo characterization of cell-free DNA fragmentation hotspots in plasma whole-genome sequencing
8 Dec 2022
Abstract excerpt
The fine-scale cell-free DNA fragmentation patterns in early-stage cancers are poorly understood. We developed a de novo approach to characterize the cell-free DNA fragmentation hotspots from plasma whole-genome sequencing. Hotspots are enriched in open chromatin regions, and, interestingly, 3'end of transposons. Hotspots showed global hypo-fragmentation in early-stage liver cancers and are associated with genes...
