Tissue-of-origin classification for cancer of unknown primary using DNA methylation data and the CpGPT transformer foundation model

Cancer of unknown primary (CUP) accounts for approximately 2–3 percent of all cancer diagnoses, with incidence declining due to improved diagnostic technologies. Accurate identification of tissue origin is critical for treatment selection and prognosis, yet conventional immunohistochemistry achieves only 65.6 percent a...

Cross-platform Bayesian deconvolution of MeDIP-seq reveals tissue-specific and cancer-associated methylation signatures

DNA methylation profiling of cell-free DNA is increasingly used for tissue-of-origin analysis and cancer detection, but quantitative interpretation of enrichment-based sequencing data remains a major challenge. MeDIP-seq provides scalable, cost-effective profiling of low-input samples like cell-free DNA, but lacks...

Genome-wide DNA methylation profiling of triple-negative breast cancer uncovers epigenetic biomarkers of tumor identity and the immune microenvironment

DNA methylation deregulation is an essential feature of tumor biology, influencing cancer formation and pathogenesis. Analyses of DNA methylation in bulk cancer specimens are challenging due to the high data dimensionality, noise, and mixture of different cell types. Here, we characterized methylation dynamics in cance...
