The study’s top 10 co-cited articles found that three articles primarily explored the relationship between AS and hallmarks of cancer (11, 36, 37), two were about the discovery of alternative splicing isoforms using high-throughput sequencing (5, 33), two were related to the regulation of AS (6, 10), and two papers focused on several specific molecules, splicing factor SF2/ASF, and heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoproteins (hnRNPs) controlled by c-Myc, respectively (34, 35). The gene discussed is MYC; the disease is cancer.
