Similar patterns were observed in CCK-8 (Fig. 2f, h, Additional file 2: Figure S2C, S2H) and cell counts (Fig. 2g, i, Additional file 2: Figure S2D, S2I) assays, suggesting the proliferative role of CLK1 in human pancreatic cancer progression in vitro. The gene discussed is CLK1; the disease is pancreatic neoplasm.
