RNA-Seq based genome-wide analysis reveals loss of inter-chromosomal regulation in breast cancer

Abstract Breast cancer is a complex heterogeneous disease. Common hallmark features of cancer can be found. Their origin may be traced back to their intricate relationships governing regulatory programs during the development of this disease. To unveil distinctive features of the transcriptional reg...
