MicroRNA-Related Prognosis Biomarkers from High-Throughput Sequencing Data of Colorectal Cancer

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer in the world, and most of them are adenocarcinomas. CRC could be classified as colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) and rectum adenocarcinoma (READ) according to the original tumorigenesis position. Increasing evidences indicated that microRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in the occurrence of multiple tumors.In this study, we firstly downloaded miRNA (COAD, 8 controls vs. 455 tumors; READ, 3...
