bio233, guest lecture, circulating tumor DNA

bio233 guest lecture

CAPP-seq

CT, biopsy are common method for tumor diagnosis.

How did ctDNA comes from tumor?

There arre much cell-free DNA in human circulation, typically 5ng/ml of plasma in healthy adults, primarily from hemopoetic cells.  Cell-free DNA often have half-live are 0.5 ~ 2 hours.

Hybrid selection (NimbeGen), target enrichment.

10,000X sequencing is required?
