A machine learning model based on circulating microbial blood-based DNA is a potential diagnostic tool for discriminating between healthy vs normal patients and cancer type. Microbial blood-based DNA in plasma from patients is sequenced and then analyzed via a rigorous bioinformatics pipeline. The microbial signature is used to diagnose cancer, with potential applications for predicting appropriate treatment and therapeutic response. Created with BioRender.com
