Abstract:Epigenomic changes are commonly observed in cancer. We developed a next-generation sequencing (NGS) assay which can identify subtle changes in global methylation as well as copy number alterations (CNAs). The assay measures the methylation level of some repeat elements, covering over 25% of all CpG in the genome.
Genomic DNA extracted from 18 pairs of matched colorectal tumor to normal tissue was tested (four adenocarcinomas, including one associated with inflammatory bowel disease, and fourteen… Show more
