CRAG: de novo characterization of cell-free DNA fragmentation hotspots in plasma whole-genome sequencing

Abstract The fine-scale cell-free DNA fragmentation patterns in early-stage cancers are poorly understood. We developed a de novo approach to characterize the cell-free DNA fragmentation hotspots from plasma whole-genome sequencing. Hotspots are enriched in open chromatin regions, and, interestingly...
