Differential co-expression analysis reveals a novel prognostic gene module in ovarian cancer

Abstract Ovarian cancer is one of the most significant disease among gynecological disorders that women suffered from over the centuries. However, disease-specific and effective biomarkers were still not available, since studies have focused on individual genes associated with ovarian cancer, ignori...
