Popis: The methylation status of circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) can be informative about recent cell death events. Here the authors present an approach to determine the tissue origins of cfDNA, using a reference methylation atlas of 25 human tissues and cell types, and find that cfDNA from patients reveals tissue contributions that agree with clinical findings.
