The results indicated that FOXK1 had negative correlation with tRF3008A expression in CRC while the correlation between ADAMTS4 and tRF3008A was poor although significant (Fig. 3C), but the expression of DDA1 and HOXC13 showed no significant correlation with tRF3008A expression (Fig. S3A & B). Here, HOXC13 is linked to colorectal carcinoma.
