Cancer is an extremely diverse and complex disease that results from various genetic and epigenetic changes such as DNA copy-number variations, mutations, and aberrant mRNA and/or protein expression caused by abnormal transcriptional regulation. The expression profiles of certain microRNAs (miRNAs) and messenger RNAs (mRNAs) are closely related to cancer progression stages. In the past few decades, DNA microarray and next-generation sequencing techniques have been widely applied to identify miRNA and mRNA signatures for cancers on a genome-wide scale and have provided meaningful insights into cancer diagnosis, prognosis and personalized medicine. In this review, we summarize the progress in genome-wide analysis of miRNAs and mRNAs as cancer biomarkers, highlighting their diagnostic and prognostic roles.

Background: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1RAs) are widely used in manageing type 2 diabetes mellitus and weight control. Their potential in treating ageing-related diseases has been gaining attention in recent years. However, the long-term effects of GLP1RAs on these diseases have yet to be fully revealed.

Background: Antibiotics have recently been suggested to increase the risk of colorectal cancer. Here, we aimed to investigate the association of frequent antibiotic use and genetic susceptibility with the increased risk of the development of colorectal cancer. Therefore, a genome-wide association study was conducted in colorectal cancer patients with frequent antibiotic use and controls to identify potential chromosomal regions that could indicate an increased risk of colorectal cancer associated with antibiotic use.

Circulating glycine levels have been associated with reduced risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) in humans but these associations have not been observed in all studies. We evaluated whether the relationship between glycine levels and atherosclerosis was causal using genetic analyses in humans and feeding studies in mice. Serum glycine levels were evaluated for association with risk of CAD in the UK Biobank.

SKP1 constitutes the Skp1-Cullin-F-box ubiquitin E3 ligase (SCF), which plays a role in plant growth and development and biotic and abiotic stress in ubiquitination. However, the response of the gene family to abiotic and biotic stresses in cotton has not been well characterized. In this study, a total of 72 genes with the conserved domain of SKP1 were identified in four Gossypium species.
