Analysis and verification of N6-methyladenosine-modified genes as novel biomarkers for clear cell renal cell carcinoma

N6-methyladenosine (m6A) has been involved in diverse biological processes in cancer, but its function and clinical value in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) remain largely unknown. In this study, we found that 1453 m6A-modified differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of ccRCC were mainly enric...
