EGAD00001015685	Raw data (fastq files) for tumor/normal paired samples (378 samples in total; 78, 58, 29, 24 pairs from liver, lung, ovary, and stomach cancer patients, respectively) profiled with the MethylScan assay, a low cost assay for profiling methylation. The MethylScan assay is designed for cfDNA methylome sequencing that enriches for the disease-associated DNA by depleting background signal. For solid tissues, the assay was performed without the MSRE digestion step.	Illumina NovaSeq X	378
EGAD00001015815	10ng from each cfDNA sample was used as the input material. For gDNA samples, 1.5-2ug each was first sonicated by Covaris R230 system (Woburn, MA). Next, size-selection with 0.8x-1.5x two-step Ampure XP beads was performed to enrich the 150-200bp fragments. 200ng of the size-selected gDNA was used as input material. The pre-capture library construction was performed with NEB UltraII DNA library prep kit for Illumina (Ipswich, MA) and the adapter was the methylated EM-seq adapter. Before the first PCR amplification, the gDNA samples were subjected to bisulfite conversion by QIAGEN Epitect kit, and cfDNA samples were subjected to enzymatic conversion by NEBNext enzymatic methyl-seq kit if the hybrid capture panel designed for converted DNA was used downstream. Twist panel hybrid capture was performed with their standard protocol (Twist Bioscience, South San Francisco, CA). The concentration of the post-capture library after the second PCR amplification was measured by Qubit 1xdsDNA HS kit (ThermoFisher, Waltham, MA). Their quality was examined by TBE-UREA PAGE and Bioanalyzer before sequencing. Libraries were then sequenced with 150bp paired-end reads on Illumina machines by Genewiz, Inc. (South Plainfield, NJ, USA). This dataset contains MethylScan data of the plasma samples from 248 noncancer individuals and 27 cancer patients (17 liver and 10 GI-tract cancers).	Illumina NovaSeq X	1
