Deskripsi

miRNAs have emerged as regulators of diverse biological processes including cancer. Here the authors present an extended pan-cancer analysis of the miRNAs in 15 epithelial cancers; integrating methylation, transcriptomic and mutation data they reveal alternative mechanisms of tumour suppressors’ regulation in absence of mutation, methylation or copy number alterations.
