Venous blood was obtained from patients who suf- fered from metastatic colorectal carcinoma. For plasma ctDNA extraction, the following carriers TI - Carrier molecules and extraction of circulating tumor DNA for next generation sequencing in colorectal cancer JF - Acta Medica (Hradec Kralove, Czech Republic) DO - 10.14712/18059694.2016.54 DA - 2016-01-01 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/unpaywall/carrier-molecules-and-extraction-of-circulating-tumor-dna-for-next-AqsylLWvTZ DP - DeepDyve ER -
