The paper introduces a custom lncRNA capture sequencing approach to improve detection sensitivity of lncRNAs in various human sample types.

The paper evaluates RNA purification kits and blood collection tubes for exRNA quality, finding that preservation tubes and purification methods significantly affect RNA stability, sensitivity, and reproducibility.

The paper creates a comprehensive atlas of RNA transcriptomes across 20 human biofluids, revealing significant differences in RNA concentration and composition, and validates potential biomarkers in disease cohorts.

This study evaluates how blood collection tubes and time delay affect cfDNA methylation, finding robust results across tubes but recommending EDTA tubes processed within 24 hours.

The paper introduces a non-parametric specificity score to identify tissue-specific genes from unbalanced datasets and applies it to GTEx data.
