Common markers of proliferation
Abstract
When normal tissue and tumour samples are compared by microarray analysis, the biggest differences most often occur in the expression levels of genes that control cell proliferation. However, this difference is detected whenever mRNA samples that are taken from two cell populations with different proliferation rates are compared. Although the exact genes that comprise this 'proliferation signature' often differ, they are almost always genes that are involved in the fundamental process of cell proliferation. Can the proliferation signature be used to improve our understanding of the cell cycle and cancer pathogenesis, as well as being used as a biomarker for cancer diagnosis and prognosis?

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
