Abstract excerpt
Analysis of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) fragmentomic features holds great promise for minimally invasive cancer diagnostics. Although selectively analyzing short plasma cfDNA enriches tumor-derived DNA (ctDNA), the mechanisms shaping cfDNA size profiles remain incompletely understood. Here, we develop a generalized model of cfDNA fragment length distributions across multiple bodily fluids (saliva, urine, cerebrospinal...
