ENHANCED AMPLIFIABILITY OF MINUTE FIXATIVE-TREATED TISSUE SAMPLES, MINUTE STAINED CYTOLOGY SAMPLES, AND OTHER MINUTE SOURCES OF DNA

摘要

Provided are materials, methods, platforms, and kits for diagnosing, prognosing, and/or determining the biological aggressiveness of a tumor (malignant and non-malignant) based in part on the temporal profile of genomic deletion expansion of the tumor. Also provided are methods of determining marker panels for different diseases and/or tissues and markers identified by these methods.
