Methanol-based fixation is superior to buffered formalin for next-generation sequencing of DNA from clinical cancer samples
BACKGROUND: 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 a...
