DNA methylation is a highly studied epigenetic modification that regulates genome function and plays key roles in development and disease 1. It is linked to a broad range of conditions, including ...

Nanopore sensors are tiny devices used to detect and analyze individual molecules by measuring ionic changes as the molecules pass through nanometer-scale openings. These sensors are classified into ...

A combined whole-genome sequencing approach could be used to detect and monitor cancer from liquid biopsies. It is challenging to monitor cancer from liquid biopsies due to the low concentrations of ...
