A new tool is revealing the invisible networks inside cancer

Researchers at the University of Navarra in Spain have created RNACOREX, an open-source software platform designed to identify gene regulation networks linked to cancer survival. The tool was developed by scientists at the Institute of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (DATAI), in collaboration with members of the Cancer Center Clínica Universidad de Navarra. Its performance has been tested using data from thirteen different tumor types provided by the international consortium The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA).

RNACOREX was published in the journal PLOS Computational Biology. It can analyze thousands of biological molecules at the same time, allowing it to detect important molecular interactions that are often missed by traditional analysis methods. By producing a ...
