The impact of leukocyte‐associated RNA retention on platelet RNA‐based cancer detection
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Platelets carry RNA signals that may help detect cancer, but platelet samples can also retain RNA from white blood cells. We found that this retained white blood cell signal did not significantly affect machine learning cancer classification, suggesting that the cancer‐related RNA signal in platelets is largely independent of leukocyte‐associated RNA ...
