Evidence for the importance of post-transcriptional regulatory changes in ovarian cancer progression and the contribution of miRNAs

Abstract High-throughput technologies have identified significant changes in patterns of mRNA expression over cancer development but the functional significance of these changes often rests upon the assumption that observed changes in levels of mRNA accurately reflect changes in levels of their enco...
