The technology landscape for detection of DNA methylation in cancer liquid biopsies by Isabelle Neefs, Joe Ibrahim, Marc Peeters, Guy Van Camp, Ken Op de Beeck

“…The first methods were established for DNA methylation detection in genomic DNA, while new methods have focused more on compatibility with the emerging interest of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) from liquid biopsies. As DNA methylation detection in cfDNA brings its own challenges, a shift from the gold standard bisulfite conversion towards enzymatic conversion methods can be observed in recent years. …”
