A liquid biopsy is a minimally invasive technique using a simple blood sample, rather than traditional tissue biopsies. It allows clinicians to gain insights into a patient’s condition by analyzing all DNA present in the bloodstream.
WGSearcher is a data-analysis tool rather than a clinically validated test kit. If you’re seeking clinical interpretation or actionable insights about for example cancer biomarkers, it’s safer to rely on validated clinical tests. If you have a .bam file already and want research-level exploratory analysis (for example to spot unexpected microbial DNA or speculative mutations), WGSearcher could be a useful tool—but not a substitute for clinical diagnostics.
How WGSearcher Enables Liquid Biopsy Analysis
At WGSearcher.com, we make liquid biopsy-based organism analysis accessible.
How it works:
- Draw a blood sample from the patient (some of the consumer services offer a kit for the patient to do this themselves).
- Send the sample to a DNA sequencing provider for whole genome sequencing.
- Receive the sequence data (in a .bam file), upload it to WGSearcher.com and let WGSearcher.com search through the DNA.
- Analyze the results (list of organisms, possible somatic mutations) for this patients specific case.
This entire process can be part of a liquid biopsy-based analysis — from sample collection to genomic interpretation.

If you have a .bam file with DNA data available, you can use WGSearcher right now to analyze liquid biopsy data from patients. Use the link here below:
If you do not have a .bam file, you can get one by sequencing a sample. This can often be done at a clinic or through a consumer-service.
