  • Mammals possess four similar homeobox gene clusters, HOXA, HOXB, HOXC and HOXD, which are located on different chromosomes and consist of 9 to 11 genes arranged in tandem. (nih.gov)
  • The possible correlation and expression levels were further analyzed through Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Evaluation (GEPIA) (http://gepia.cancer-pku.cn/index.html) and validated by way of quantitative reverse transcription-PCR (qRT-PCR). (trpv1inhibitor.com)
  • Among them, c-Myc (MYC) is the gene most strongly associated with cancer, and it is the focus of this review. (unitn.it)
