Multimodal analysis of cell-free DNA whole-genome sequencing for pediatric cancers with low mutational burden

Liquid biopsies enable minimally invasive applications for diagnosis and treatment monitoring. Here the authors analyse fragmentation patterns of circulating tumour DNA on multiple levels and develop a bioinformatic tool, LIQUORICE, to accurately detect and classify paediatric cancers with low mutat...
