Characterization of DNA lesions associated with cell-free DNA by targeted deep sequencing

Abstract Background Recently, a next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based method has been used for the successful detection of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in various cancer types. Thus, the use of NGS on liquid biopsies will improve cancer diagnosis and prognosis. However, the low-allelic fraction of...
