Analysis of fragment ends in plasma DNA from patients with cancer
2021-04-27
Abstract excerpt
Fragmentation patterns observed in plasma DNA reflect chromatin accessibility in contributing cells. Since DNA shed from cancer cells and blood cells may differ in fragmentation patterns, we investigated whether analysis of genomic positioning and nucleotide sequence at fragment ends can reveal the presence of tumor DNA in blood and aid cancer diagnostics. We analyzed whole genome sequencing data from >2700 plasma...
