What's a GeneRIF?
  1. Long noncoding RNA OVAAL enhances nucleotide synthesis through pyruvate carboxylase to promote 5-fluorouracil resistance in gastric cancer.
    Title: Long noncoding RNA OVAAL enhances nucleotide synthesis through pyruvate carboxylase to promote 5-fluorouracil resistance in gastric cancer.
  2. Identified an up-regulated lncRNA, ovarian adenocarcinoma-amplified lncRNA (OVAAL), that conferred apoptotic resistance in multiple cancer types. Analysis of clinical samples revealed OVAAL expression was significantly increased in colorectal cancers and melanoma in comparison to the corresponding normal tissues. Functional investigations showed that OVAAL depletion significantly inhibited cancer cell proliferation.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
