Article Title: Quantification of Somatic Chromosomal Rearrangements in Circulating Cell-Free DNA from Ovarian Cancers
doi: 10.1038/srep29831
Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Blood is drawn before and after surgery. DNA from tumor is sequenced using the next-generation mate-pair sequencing (MPseq) protocol to identify chromosomal rearrangements. Several junctions are chosen to construct a personalized panel for each tumor. Percent of ctDNA out of total cfDNA is calculated at each time point of blood collection. ( B ) Number of junctions identified in cohort of 10 cases of serous stage 3 ovarian cancer. Count numbers are above the bars with the expected false negative count in parenthesis. cfDNA: cell-free DNA; ctDNA: circulating tumor DNA.
Article Snippet: DNA from primary tumor was prepared using the Illumina MPseq Kit following the manufacturer’s instructions and sequenced as two libraries per lane on the Illumina HiSeq2000 platform .
