Fragment Ends of Circulating Microbial DNA as Signatures for Pathogen Detection in Sepsis - PubMed

The use of fragmentomic features could facilitate the differentiation of underlying contaminating microbes from true pathogens in sepsis. This work demonstrates the potential usefulness of microbial cfDNA fragmentomics in metagenomics analysis.
