We show that decemedip can identify tissue-of-origin in many bulk tumour samples as well as in cell-free DNA from cancer patients, and these latter estimates are correlated with parallel measurements of circulating tumour DNA content.

In addition to estimating cell type proportions and their uncertainty intervals, decemedip translates cross-platform measurements between MeDIP-seq counts and fractional methylation levels.

We present decemedip, a reference-based model to estimate cell type composition of immunoprecipitation-based DNA methylomes (MeDIP-seq). While tools exist for deconvoluting absolute methylation levels (BS-seq), this is the first approach applicable to efficient affinity-enrichment protocols.

I'd be a bit offended by the LLM's claim to have taken my lecture and made it 'coherent' 😝
