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.

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 ...

Fragmentomic cfDNA Patterns in Noninvasive Prenatal Testing and Beyond [PDF]
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 fragmentomics for preeclampsia risk assessment [PDF]
Preeclampsia (PE) is a pregnancy-specific hypertensive disorder that could lead to serious maternal and fetal complications, yet early identification of women at risk remains challenging because reliable biomarkers are limited.

Multidimensional roles of cfDNA fragmentomics in preeclampsia: from placental hypoxia and TLR9 inflammation to clinical risk stratification [PDF]
Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) has emerged as a pivotal biomarker for predicting preeclampsia (PE), a multisystem syndrome characterized by placental hypoperfusion and systemic inflammation.

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 ...

Fragmentomics features of cell free DNA in eating disorders [PDF]
Eating disorders are lacking reliable biomarkers despite their severe psychiatric and medical burden. In this study, we examined plasma cell-free DNA (cfDNA) from patients with the restrictive (ANR), or binge–purge (ANBP) subtypes of anorexia nervosa, as
