Abstract The analysis of circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) through minimally invasive liquid biopsies is promising for early multi-cancer detection and monitoring minimal residual disease. Most existing methods focus on targeted deep sequencing, but few integrate multiple data modalities. Here, we develop a methodology ctDNA using (80x) whole-genome TET-Assisted Pyridine Borane Sequencing (TAPS), less destructive approach than bisulphite which permits the simultaneous genomic methylomic data....
Abstract While most testicular germ cell tumours (TGCTs) exhibit exquisite sensitivity to platinum chemotherapy, ~10% are resistant. To gain insight into the underlying mechanisms, we undertake whole exome sequencing and copy number analysis in 40 from 26 cases with platinum-resistant TGCT, combine this published genomic data on an additional 624 TGCTs. We integrate analyses for driver mutations, mutational burden, global, arm-level focal (CN) events, SNV CN signatures. Albeit preliminary...
