Abstract Many disease-associated genomic variants disrupt gene function through abnormal splicing. With the advancement of medicine, identifying splicing associated has become more important than ever. Most bioinformatics approaches to detect require both genome and transcriptomic data. However, there are not many datasets where them available. In this study, we develop a methodology that cause changes (more specifically, intron retention), using transcriptome sequencing data alone. After...

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is negative for hormone receptors and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). In stage I TNBC, adjuvant therapy or follow-up are performed according to risk factors, but clinical trial data scarce. recent years, it has been reported that HER2-low cases (1+/2+ in situ hybridization negative) have different prognoses than HER2-0 cases. However, the of recurrence factors this population TNBC not yet investigated.Herein, out 174 patients with who...
