The discovery of cell-free fetal DNA (cfDNA) that is free-floating in the serum has led to the development of screening technologies, both in obstetrics and oncology. Circulating cfDNA in the serum of pregnant women is the basis of noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
