mRNA-lncRNA gene expression signature in HPV-associated neoplasia and cervical cancer by E. D. Kulaeva, E. S. Muzlaeva, E. V. Mashkina

“…Along with the protein-coding genes, long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play an important role in the development of malignant cell transformation. Although human papillomavirus is widespread, there is currently no well-characterized transcriptomic signature to predict whether this tumor will develop in the presence of HPV-associated neoplastic changes in the cervical epithelium. …”
