Multimodal analysis of cell-free DNA enhances differentiation of early-stage breast cancer from benign lesions and healthy individuals.

BMC biology
BACKGROUND: Breast cancer (BC) remains the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality among women worldwide. Liquid biopsy based on circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) offers a promising noninvasive approach for early detection; however, differentiat...

Circulating cell-free RNA signatures for the characterization and diagnosis of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
People living with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) experience heterogeneous and debilitating symptoms that lack sufficient biological explanation, compounded by the absence of accurate, noninvasive diagnostic tools. To add...

Raised Leptin and Pappalysin2 cell-free RNAs are the hallmarks of pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia with fetal growth restriction.

Nature communications
Preeclampsia (PE) and fetal growth restriction (FGR) complicate 5-10% of pregnancies and are major causes of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Here we demonstrate that measuring circulating cell-free RNAs (cfRNAs) from maternal plasma can a...

Prediction of Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Pressure with Generative Adversarial Network Synthetic Plasma-CSF Biomarker Pairing.

Neuroinformatics
Non-invasive intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring can help clinicians safely and efficiently monitor spaceflight-associated neuro-ocular syndrome (SANS), idiopathic intracranial hypertension, and traumatic brain injury in astronauts. Current invasi...

Evaluating cell-free DNA integrity index as a non-invasive biomarker for neoadjuvant chemotherapy in colorectal cancer patients.

BMC cancer
BACKGROUND: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is gaining attention as a treatment for advanced colorectal cancer owing to its potential to improve surgical outcomes and prognosis. However, reliable biomarkers to predict the response to NAC are lacking. ...

A standardized framework for robust fragmentomic feature extraction from cell-free DNA sequencing data.

Genome biology
Fragmentomics features of cell-free DNA represent promising non-invasive biomarkers for cancer diagnosis. A lack of systematic evaluation of biases in feature quantification hinders the adoption of such applications. We compare features derived from ...

Microbiome and fragmentation pattern of blood cell-free DNA and fecal metagenome enhance colorectal cancer micro-dysbiosis and diagnosis analysis: a proof-of-concept study.

mSystems
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer, and it can be prevented by performing early screening. As a hallmark of cancer, the human microbiome plays important roles in the occurrence and development of CRC. Recently, the blood microbio...

Exploring the potential of cell-free RNA and Pyramid Scene Parsing Network for early preeclampsia screening.

BMC pregnancy and childbirth
BACKGROUND: Circulating cell-free RNA (cfRNA) is gaining recognition as an effective biomarker for the early detection of preeclampsia (PE). However, the current methods for selecting disease-specific biomarkers are often inefficient and typically on...

Transformer-based deep learning for accurate detection of multiple base modifications using single molecule real-time sequencing.

Communications biology
We had previously reported a convolutional neural network (CNN) based approach, called the holistic kinetic model (HK model 1), for detecting 5-methylcytosine (5mC) by single molecule real-time sequencing (Pacific Biosciences). In this study, we cons...
