Cell-free methylated DNA immunoprecipitation and high-throughput sequencing (cfMeDIP-seq) is a new bisulfite-free technique, which can detect the whole-genome methylation of blood cell-free DNA (cfDNA). Using this technique, we identified differentially methylated regions (DMR) of cfDNA between lung tumors and normal controls. Based on the top 300 DMR, we built a random forest prediction model, which was able to distinguish malignant lung tumors from normal controls with high sensitivity and spe ...[more]
