Scalable whole-exome sequencing of cell-free DNA reveals high concordance with metastatic tumors
Identifying the mutational landscape of tumours from cell-free DNA in the blood could help diagnostics in cancer. Here, the authors present ichorCNA, software that quantifies tumour content in cell free DNA, and they demonstrate that cell-free DNA whole ...
