MicroRNAs (miRNAs or miRs) are involved in pathways central to homeostasis and cellular function, including proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis; processes which when aberrantly regulated contribute to the hallmarks of cancer. The contributi... Read More about Epigenetic control of microRNA expression and cancer.

Heterochromatin modulation and PCG control of gene expression mediated by noncoding RNA in cancer (2017)
Book Chapter
Rutland, C. S., de Brot, S., James, V., & Mongan, N. P. (2018). Heterochromatin modulation and PCG control of gene expression mediated by noncoding RNA in cancer. In J. Chakrabarti, & S. Mitra (Eds.), Cancer and Noncoding RNAs, 359-372. Elsevier. doi:10.1016/b978-0-12-811022-5.00019-x

In eukaryotes, the packaging of DNA and proteins, termed chromatin, is an essential determinant of transcription. The basic unit of chromatin, the nucleosome, is composed of ?146 base pairs of DNA spooled around a dense protein core containing two co...
