Anal cancer incidence is rising globally, driven primarily by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. HPV, especially high-risk types 16 and 18, is considered a necessary cause of anal squamous cell carcinoma. Certain populations like people living with HIV, men who have sex with men, inflammatory bowel disease patients, smokers, and those with compromised immunity face elevated risk.

This study constitutes a pioneering attempt, adding to our knowledge of genetic diversity and its ramifications.
Material And Methods: In this project, we use bioinformatics and systems biology methods to identify candidate transcription factors and the genes they regulate in order to identify microRNAs and LncRNAs that regulate these transcription factors and lead to the discovery of new medicines for the treatment of cervical cancer.

The viral replication can impress through cellular miRNAs. Indeed, either the antiviral responses or the viral infection changes through cellular miRNAs resulting in affecting many regulatory signaling pathways. One of the microRNA families that is effective in human cancers, diseases, and viral infections is the miR-29 family.

Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infection is associated with an increased risk of hepatic decompensation, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Lactate level, as the end product of glycolysis, plays a substantial role in metabolism beyond energy production.
