Hey all, I hope you are safe and well.
I am trying to investigate the role of miRNA within the TCGA database, could you recommend me a roadmap to do my analysis? I aim to see the expression of miRNA among the specific types of cancer.
Can you be a bit more specific in terms what "expression of miRNA among..." means? Are you after differential expression, or just being or not being expressed in some cancers, or classification within the entities? be sure that you have extensively read the available literature, there has probably been done a lot of work already with these data, be sure your project is novel and interesting so you do not just come up with the same conclusions others have already published. Be also sure that your scientific question is precise and well-defined, so you are not standing in front of the garden of forked paths and do not know which path you should take because there are so many ways to analyse the same dataset.
