Identification of hub genes and construction of transcriptional regulatory network for the progression of colon adenocarcinoma hub genes and TF regulatory network of colon adenocarcinoma

The aim of this study was to identify key genes related to the progression of colon adenocarcinoma (COAD), and to investigate the regulatory network of hub genes and transcription factors (TFs). Dataset GSE20916 including 44 normal colon, 55 adenoma, and 36 adenocarcinoma tissue samples was used to construct co‐expression networks via weighted gene co‐expression network. Gene Ontology annotation and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes...
