Cancer-Associated Circular RNAs Catalogued Across Tumor Types

Feb 07, 2019

|

NEW YORK (GenomeWeb) – A team led by researchers at the University of Michigan has catalogued and started characterizing circular RNAs (circRNAs) found across cancer types, including proposed circRNA markers in the urine of prostate cancer patients. Independently, another group led by researchers at the University of Toronto has identified circRNAs with functional roles in prostate cancer.
