KRAS and colorectal carcinoma: The mean expression levels of miR-16 in the CRC and NAT samples are shown in Supplementary Fig. 1C. The inverse correction between miR-16 and KRAS protein levels (Fig. 2C) and the disparity between the miR-16 and KRAS mRNA levels (Fig. 2D) were further illustrated using Pearson’s correction scatter plots.
