This study develops a method to detect minimal residual disease in neuroblastoma using ecDNA breakpoints, achieving high sensitivity and specificity in bone marrow samples.

The paper shows that extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA) from micronuclei promotes inflammation and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development through the cGAS-STING pathway.

This study shows that ecDNA mis-segregation leads to micronuclei formation, reduced oncogene transcription, and improved patient survival in neuroblastoma.

Decoil reconstructs complex extrachromosomal DNA structures from long-read sequencing data, improving resolution of ecDNA topology and heterogeneity in cancer.
