Window: 2026-06-13T09:00:00Z → 2026-06-14T09:00:00Z (CRDT) Topics scanned: 9 | Articles reviewed: ~93 (incl. 2 deferred + sentinel top 10) | Formally classified: 21 High priority: 1 | Standard: 19 | Low/archive: 10+ | Unsolicited finds: 0 Run status: SUCCESS


🔴🟠 HIGH PRIORITY (8+) — Best Finds by Topic

Early Cancer Detection / Liquid Biopsy (T3) + CBC/ML (T2) + AI/ML Diagnostics (T4)

TR-2026-06-14-001 / PMID 42286706 · Circulating DNA reveals nucleosome occupancy patterns that are associated with nucleosome-DNA affinity and are affected in cancer · 8/10 🔴 → ML model on cfDNA nucleosome occupancy patterns hits >0.95 sensitivity/specificity for 7 cancer types in a pan-cancer liquid biopsy framework. Published in Genome Medicine. Uses FinaleDB public cohort; bioinformatics reanalysis — prospective validation pending, but methodological advance is significant. Bridges cfDNA fragmentomics (T3), hematology ML (T2), and AI diagnostics (T4).
