- 生物信息学是一种生物信息学.
背景情况:
- 前列腺切除术后的前列腺癌的预后工具在评估疾病的攻击性方面是有限的.
- 激进前列腺切除术可能导致生化复发和转移,需要改进术后预后方法.
研究的目的:
- 开发一种机器学习模型,使用microRNAs (miRNAs) 来预测前列腺癌患者的转移后的前列腺切除术.
- 确定一组能够准确区分转移性和非转移性结果的miRNA组.
主要方法:
- 分析了38名前列腺癌患者的后激进前列腺切除术 (RP) 测序数据.

MicroRNAs
MicroRNA (miRNA) are short, regulatory RNA transcribed from introns—non-coding regions of a gene—or intergenic regions—stretches of DNA present between genes. Several processing steps are required to form biologically active, mature miRNA. The initial transcript, called primary miRNA (pri-mRNA), base-pairs with itself forming a stem-loop structure. Within the nucleus, an endonuclease enzyme, called Drosha, shortens the stem-loop structure into hairpin-shaped pre-miRNA. After the pre-miRNA ends...
