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 ...

PURPOSE: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), known for its high fatality rate, is often diagnosed in its advanced stages where surgical options are not viable. This highlights the critical need for innovative and effective early detection techni...
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...
BACKGROUND: The incidence of Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is rising in recent years, especially in some non-developed parts of the world. Hence, cost-efficient means for sensitive detection of NPC are vital.
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...
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...

BACKGROUND: Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in ex-vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) perfusate has been shown to potentially reflect lung injury; however, the relationship between cfDNA concentration with clinical EVLP lung outcomes has not been elucidated.
The discovery of circulating fetal and tumor cell-free DNA (cfDNA) molecules in plasma has opened up tremendous opportunities in noninvasive diagnostics such as the detection of fetal chromosomal aneuploidies and cancers and in posttransplantation mo...
The autonomous and active Long-Interspersed Element-1 (LINE-1, L1) and the non-autonomous Alu retrotransposon elements, contributing to 30% of the human genome, are the most abundant repeated sequences. With more than 90% of their sequences being met...

Inflammatory syndromes, including those caused by infection, are a major cause of hospital admissions among children and are often misdiagnosed because of a lack of advanced molecular diagnostic tools. In this study, we explored the utility of circul...
