Metagenomic analysis of primary colorectal carcinomas and their metastases identifies potential microbial risk factors

The paucity of microbiome studies at intestinal tissues has contributed to a yet limited understanding of potential viral and bacterial cofactors of colorectal cancer (CRC) carcinogenesis or progression. We analysed whole‐genome sequences of CRC primary tumours, their corresponding metastases and ma...

description The paucity of microbiome studies at intestinal tissues has contributed to a yet limited understanding of potential viral and bacterial cofactors of colorectal cancer (CRC) carcinogenesis or progression.
