A Pan-Cancer Analysis of Enhancer Expression in Nearly 9000 Patient Samples
1 Apr 2018
Abstract excerpt
The role of enhancers, a key class of non-coding regulatory DNA elements, in cancer development has increasingly been appreciated. Here, we present the detection and characterization of a large number of expressed enhancers in a genome-wide analysis of 8928 tumor samples across 33 cancer types using TCGA RNA-seq data. Compared with matched normal tissues, global enhancer activation was observed in most cancers....
