Circulating DNA fragmentomics and cancer screening
Summary: The high fragmentation of nuclear circulating DNA (cirDNA) relies on chromatin organization and protection or packaging within mononucleosomes, the smallest and the most stabilized structure in the bloodstream.

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.

Analysis of cfDNA fragmentomics metrics and commercial targeted sequencing panels. [PDF]
Fragmentomics based analysis of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) has recently emerged as a method to infer epigenetic and transcriptional data. Many of these reports analyze whole genome sequencing (WGS) which is not readily available clinically.

DECIPHER-PRAD: an advanced fragmentomics-based cell-free DNA assay for prostate cancer early detection. [PDF]
Early detection of prostate cancer is limited by the poor specificity of prostate-specific antigen (PSA)-based screening. Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) fragmentomics offers a promising non-invasive approach to improve screening accuracy and risk stratification ...

Quantitative fragmentomics allow affinity mapping of interactomes [PDF]
Protein networks have been widely explored but most binding affinities remain unknown, limiting the quantitative interpretation of interactomes. Here the authors measure affinities of 65,000 interactions involving human PDZ domains and target sequence ...

Liquid biopsy epigenetics: establishing a molecular profile based on cell-free DNA. [PDF]
Liquid biopsies containing circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) are important biomarkers across several forms of cancer. The detection of mutations in cell‐free DNA (cfDNA) indicates the presence of ctDNA.

Liquid Biopsy in Early Screening of Cancers: Emerging Technologies and New Prospects. [PDF]
Liquid biopsy is moving beyond mutation-centric assays to multimodal frameworks that integrate cell-free DNA (cfDNA) signals with additional analytes such as circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and extracellular vesicles (EVs).
