===Bioinformatics and Statistics=== We need to look into each cancer individually on the list, maybe rank the cancer samples from most preferable to least preferable. Once we get optimistic results, we can further ask for samples from other centers. We cannot realistically ask specifically for each stage of cancer, although having samples from multiple stages might be better. prevalence treatment options for early detection (stage 1) current diagnostic methods We need to ask for buffy coat (1 tube) and matched serum samples (2 tubes) per patient We need to ask for primary tumor samples, they might be Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples check Blueprint data to see how successful we were at capturing DNA purified from FFPE samples look into the kit for fixing degraded DNA Noi said we successfully captured with 50 ng converted DNA before, and it is possible to obtain this much from 2 tubes of serum samples, however, we can also look into the amplified DNA from Illumina (can we perform capture on these samples?) RRBS option Dinh need to check the bayes classification algorithm Can it be used on RRBS data? We can downsample high coverage data to lower the effect of clonal reads on the analysis. Noi to check the input requirement for performing RRBS, can we perform RRBS in parallel on the test samples. In the biomarker discover stage, the biomarker whose methylation were 100% un-methylated in normal plasmas were enrolled while any regions which were detected to be methylated in normal plasmas were filter out from the candidates. In the procedure of differential methylation test, regions whose variance in total samples were stage at lowest 30% quantile were removed to decrease the burden of multi-test correction. For the random forest prediction, optimal parameters were tuned before the tanning of the model the best number of tries and tress were determined by the grid search method with lowest out of beg prediction error. Intersection analysis of the genome position were conducted by BEDTOOLS and the regions whose distance less than 25bp were taken as the same biomarker region. R packages of IRanges, Biostrings, stringr, randomForest, impute, rpart, e1071, biclust were used in the the statistic and bioinformatics analysis. Potential biomarker based on published papers from NCBI were extracted for lung cancer (74 papers), colon cancer (8 papers) and pancreatic cancer (13 papers) with the strategy of title including “methylation” and corresponding cancer symbols as well as abstract including “Diagnosis”.
