RNA processing genes characterize RNA splicing and further stratify colorectal cancer

Due to the limited evaluation of the prognostic value of RNA processing genes (RPGs), which are regulators of alternative splicing events (ASEs) that have been shown to be associated with tumour progression, this study sought to determine whether colorectal cancer (CRC) could be further stratified based on the expression pattern of RPGs.The gene expression profiles of CRCs were collected from TCGA (training set) and three external validation...
