Bioinformatic methods for detection and analysis of isomiRs in myeloid malignancies
FY 2015-16
Summary
Myeloid cancers are aggressive diseases that have poor overall survival. MicroRNAs are short non-coding RNAs that play an important role in cell functioning by regulating gene expression. They are clinically relevant in myeloid cancers as they are functionally active and predictors of outcome. This project leverages a rich data source from patients with myeloid malignancies to build the tools necessary to understand how structural and sequence variants of MicroRNAs arise and how they influence the course of myeloid malignancies.

Myeloid cancers are aggressive diseases that have poor overall survival. MicroRNAs are short non-coding RNAs that play an important role in cell functioning by regulating gene expression. They are clinically relevant in myeloid cancers as they are functionally active and predictors of outcome.
