Histone modifications define distinct nucleosome positions in cell-free DNA

Circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) fragmentation patterns reflect nucleosome positioning. We asked whether variation in nucleosome positions in cfDNA can reveal chromatin states and associated histone modifications. Using cell-free chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (cfChIP-seq) in plasma from patients with prostate cancer, we identified 35,120 modification-associated positions (MAPs), loci…
