Fragmentomic cfDNA Patterns in Noninvasive Prenatal Testing and Beyond
The release of fetoplacental cell-free DNA (cfDNA) into the maternal bloodstream opened up new avenues towards noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) for aneuploidies, hereditary DNA mutations and other pregnancy-related developmental disorders ...

Cell-Free DNA and CXCL10 Derived from Bronchoalveolar Lavage Predict Lung Transplant Survival. [PDF]
Standard methods for detecting chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) and rejection have poor sensitivity and specificity and have conventionally required bronchoscopies and biopsies.

Evaluation of pre-analytical factors affecting plasma DNA analysis. [PDF]
Pre-analytical factors can significantly affect circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) analysis. However, there are few robust methods to rapidly assess sample quality and the impact of pre-analytical processing. To address this gap and to evaluate effects of

cfDNA-Based NGS IG Analysis in Lymphoma
AbstractLiquid biopsy is a novel diagnostic approach at first developed to characterize the molecular profile of solid tumors by analyzing body fluids. For cancer patients, it represents a noninvasive way to monitor the status of the solid tumor with respect to representative biomarkers. There is growing interest in the utilization of circulating tumor
