  • Compositions and Methods for Targeted NGS Sequencing of cfRNA and cfTNA
    Publication number: 20230086611
    Abstract: Cell free nucleic acid tests are performed using concurrent analysis of cfTNA and cfRNA fractions obtained from the same sample. In preferred embodiments, cfTNA isolation includes isolation of even small fragments of cfDNA and cfRNA, and after reverse transcription of the cfRNA in both fractions, so obtained cDNA libraries are subjected to target enrichment using tiled enrichment oligonucleotides. Most notably, sequence analysis that uses data sets from both cDNA libraries provides heretofore unrealized sensitivity and specificity.
