From: Retro-miRs: novel and functional miRNAs originating from mRNA retrotransposition
Retrocopy-derived miRNAs (retro-miRs) are highly expressed in cancer and some retro-miRs present a cancer-specific expression. Expression level of (mature) retro-miRs in different types of tumors (BRCA = Breast cancer, COAD = Colon adenocarcinoma, KIRC = Kidney renal clear cell carcinoma, LIHC = Liver hepatocellular carcinoma, LUSC = Lung squamous cell carcinoma, LUAD = Lung adenocarcinoma, PAAD = Pancreatic adenocarcinoma, PRAD = Prostate adenocarcinoma, STAD = Stomach adenocarcinoma, THCA = Thyroid carcinoma) and their respective normal samples. Wilcoxon test Tumor x Healthy samples: p-value < = 0.05 and > = 0.01 (*); < 0.01 and > = 0.0001 (**); < 0.0001 (***)
