Measuring differential gene expression with RNA-seq: challenges and strategies for data analysis.

abstract：:Lysine N-ε-acetylation is a post-translational modification that regulates the function of histone and non-histone proteins. In several malignancies, histone acetyltransferase (HAT) activities are disturbed as a consequence of various genetic or epigenetic alterations. In particular, HATs can function as tumor suppres...
