Abstract excerpt
Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is the cornerstone of liquid biopsy diagnostics, revealing clinically relevant genomic aberrations from blood of cancer patients. Genomic analysis of single circulating tumor cells (CTCs) could provide additional insights into intra-patient heterogeneity, but it requires whole-genome amplification (WGA) of DNA, which might introduce bias. Here, we describe a novel approach based on...
