Cancer treatment monitoring using cell-free DNA fragmentomes. [PDF]
AbstractCirculating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) assays for monitoring individuals with cancer typically rely on prior identification of tumor-specific mutations. Here, we develop a tumor-independent and mutation-independent approach (DELFI-tumor fraction, DELFI-TF) using low-coverage whole genome sequencing to determine the cfDNA tumor fraction and validate ...

Cell-free DNA fragmentomics: a universal framework for early cancer detection and monitoring. [PDF]
Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) fragmentomics has emerged as a powerful and noninvasive approach for cancer detection, characterization, and monitoring. By analyzing genome-wide fragmentation patterns - including fragment length distributions, end motifs, nucleosome footprints, and copy number variations - cfDNA fragmentomics provides high-resolution insights ...

The Peptide MS/MS-Fragmentome: A Set of Predictable Fragment Ions with Highly Redundant Sequence Information [PDF]
Upon low energy collision induced dissociation (CID), multiply protonated peptides generate a set of interdependent fragment ions detectable by MS/MS, the '[peptide]n+-fragmentome'.

Fragmentomics of urinary cell-free DNA in nuclease knockout mouse models
Urinary cell-free DNA (ucfDNA) is a potential biomarker for bladder cancer detection. However, the biological characteristics of ucfDNA are not well understood. We explored the roles of deoxyribonuclease 1 (DNASE1) and deoxyribonuclease 1-like 3 (DNASE1L3) in the fragmentation of ucfDNA using mouse models.

Bioactive conformational ensemble server and database. A public framework to speed up in silico drug discovery. [PDF]
Modern high-throughput structure-based drug discovery algorithms consider ligand flexibility, but typically with low accuracy, which results in a loss of performance in the derived models.

Fragmentomics of natural peptide structures
Natural fragmentation of peptide and other chemical structures is well known. They are a significant object of biochemical investigations. In this connection, the bases and determination are given for the notion of the "fragmentome" as a set of all fragments of a single substance, as well as for global fragmentome of all chemical components of living ...

AGE-ASSOCIATED VARIABILITY OF CIRCULATING FREE DNA CHARACTERISTICS: GENOME-WIDE ANALYSIS
The fragments of circulating free DNA (cfDNA) found in plasma are formed due to the genomic DNA degradation during cellular death. The present study is the first research of age-associated variability of cfDNA characteristics performed on the group of ...

Innovations in Early Lung Cancer Detection: Tracing the Evolution and Advancements in Screening. [PDF]
Lung cancer mortality rates, particularly non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), continue to present a significant global health challenge, and the adoption of lung cancer screening remains limited, often influenced by inequities in access to healthcare ...

Fragmentomics features of ovarian cancer
AbstractOvarian cancer (OC) is a major cause of cancer mortality in women worldwide. Due to the occult onset of OC, its nonspecific clinical symptoms in the early phase, and a lack of effective early diagnostic tools, most OC patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage.
