According to recent research from the United States, "Primary brain tumors are a major cause of cancer mortality in the United States. Therapy for gliomas, the most common type of primary brain tumors, remains suboptimal." "The development of improved therapeutics will require greater knowledge of the biology of gliomas at both the genomic and transcriptional levels.

By calculating correlation values of mRNA expression versus...
