Quantitative fragmentomics allow affinity mapping of interactomes [PDF]
Abstract Human protein networks have been widely explored but most binding affinities remain unknown, hindering quantitative interactome-function studies. Yet interactomes rely on minimal interacting fragments displaying quantifiable affinities.

Cell-free epigenomes enhanced fragmentomics-based model for early detection of lung cancer. [PDF]
Lung cancer‐related changes in fragmentomic features were unevenly distributed across the genome, showing significant enrichment in epigenetically regulated regions of specific genes. The cfDNA fragmentomics‐based model demonstrated superior detection capability, especially for early‐stage lung cancer.

Cell-Free DNA Fragmentomics in Liquid Biopsy
Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in bodily fluids has rapidly transformed the development of noninvasive prenatal testing, cancer liquid biopsy, and transplantation monitoring. Plasma cfDNA consists of a mixture of molecules originating from various bodily tissues.

Emerging frontiers of cell-free DNA fragmentomics
Analysis of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in the blood has shown promise for monitoring a variety of biological processes. Plasma cfDNA is a mixture comprising DNA molecules released from various bodily tissues, mediated by characteristic DNA fragmentations occurring during cell death.

Epigenetic analysis of cell-free DNA by fragmentomic profiling
Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) fragmentation patterns contain important molecular information linked to tissues of origin. We explored the possibility of using fragmentation patterns to predict cytosine-phosphate-guanine (CpG) methylation of cfDNA, obviating the use of bisulfite treatment and associated risks of DNA degradation.
