Cell-free, methylated DNA in blood samples reveals tissue-specific, cellular damage from radiation treatment

2022-04-13

Abstract excerpt

Radiation therapy is an effective cancer treatment although damage to healthy tissues is common. Here we characterize the methylomes of healthy human and mouse tissues to establish sequencing-based, cell-type specific reference DNA methylation atlases. Identified cell-type specific DNA blocks were mostly hypomethylated and located within genes intrinsic to cellular identity. Cell-free DNA fragments released from d...
