The Identification of Candidate Biomarkers and Pathways in Atherosclerosis by Integrated Bioinformatics Analysis
Background. Atherosclerosis (AS) is a type of yellow substance containing cholesterol in the intima of large and middle arteries, which is mostly caused by fat metabolism disorders and neurovascular dysfunction. Materials and Methods. The GSE100927 data got analyzed to find out the differentially ex...

Materials and Methods. The GSE100927 data got analyzed to find out the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) using the limma package in R software.
