[HTML][HTML] Comprehensive cell type decomposition of circulating cell-free DNA with CelFiE

C Caggiano, B Celona, F Garton, J Mefford… - Nature …, 2021 - nature.com
Circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in the bloodstream originates from dying cells and is a
promising noninvasive biomarker for cell death. Here, we propose an algorithm, CelFiE, to …

[HTML][HTML] Leveraging genomic diversity for discovery in an electronic health record linked biobank: the UCLA ATLAS Community Health Initiative

…, T Schwarz, M Freund, L Zhan, KS Burch, C Caggiano… - Genome medicine, 2022 - Springer
Background Large medical centers in urban areas, like Los Angeles, care for a diverse

Genome-wide study of the effect of blood collection tubes on the cell-free DNA methylome

R Van Paemel, A De Koker, C Caggiano, A Morlion… - Epigenetics, 2021 - Taylor & Francis
The methylation pattern of cfDNA, isolated from liquid biopsies, is gaining substantial interest
for diagnosis and monitoring of diseases. We have evaluated the impact of type of blood …

Disease risk and healthcare utilization among ancestrally diverse groups in the Los Angeles region

C Caggiano, A Boudaie, R Shemirani, J Mefford… - Nature Medicine, 2023 - nature.com
An individual’s disease risk is affected by the populations that they belong to, due to shared
genetics and environmental factors. The study of fine-scale populations in clinical care is …
