METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR EVALUATING DNA METHYLATION IN CELL-FREE DNA

摘要

The present disclosure concerns embodiments related to methods of enriching particular DNA for analysis of methylation status and/or profiles, for example in the process of diagnosis of cancer. In particular embodiments, the methods utilize cell-free DNA as a source of DNA instead of genomic DNA and allow for focused enrichment of fragments having two or more enzyme digestion sites and containing at least one CpG site.
