A Pan-Cancer Analysis of the Oncogenic and Immunogenic Role of m6Am Methyltransferase PCIF1

BackgroundPhosphorylated CTD-interacting factor 1 (PCIF1) is identified as the only known methyltransferase of N6,2′-O-dimethyladenosine (m6Am) in mRNA. However, its oncogenic and immunogenic role in cancer research is at an initial stage.MethodsHerein, we carried out a pan-cancer analysis of PCIF1,...
