  • METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR CELL-FREE NUCLEIC ACID PROCESSING
    Publication number: 20260125763
    Abstract: Methods and systems for targeted detection of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) molecules are disclosed herein. In some cases, a molecular sequencing library depleted of methylated DNA can be generated and used to detect ctDNA in a cell-free DNA sample reliably at a lower sequencing depth and lower cost than existing methods.

  • TECHNIQUES FOR DETECTING MINIMUM RESIDUAL DISEASE
    Publication number: 20250342971
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes techniques for determining an indication of minimum residual disease (MRD) in a subject. The indication of MRD may be determined based on sequencing data from a biological sample of the subject. These techniques are performed in part by determining sequencing error and an indication MRD from the same biological sample using the same set of sequencing data.
