Differential regulation analysis reveals dysfunctional regulatory mechanism involving transcription factors and microRNAs in gastric carcinogenesis

作者:

Highlights:

• The framework for exploring the differences between GRNs from multiple perspectives was established.

• An innovative strategy for identifying cancer-related regulations was proposed.

• Hypotheses of dysregulated mechanisms in gastric carcinogenesis were generated.

• The fine-tuning role of miRNAs was observed at the level of gene regulatory network.
