<h4>Background</h4>Next-generation sequencing (NGS) of tumour samples is a critical component of personalised cancer treatment, but it requires high-quality DNA samples. Routine neutral-buffered formalin (NBF) fixation has detrimental effects on nucleic acids, causing low yields, as well as fragmentation and DNA base changes, leading to significant artefacts.<h4>Patients and methods</h4>We have carried out a detailed comparison of DNA quality from matched samples isolated from high-grade serous ...[more]
