A considerable number of colon cancer patients with local or local advanced disease suffer from recurrence and there is an urgent need for better prognostic biomarkers in this setting. Here, the transcriptomic landscape of messenger RNAs (mRNAs), long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs), small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs), small Cajal body-specific RNAs (scaRNAs), pseudogenes and circular RNAs (circRNAs), as well as RNAs denoted as miscellaneous RNAs, was profiled by total RNA sequencing. In addition to well-known coding and non-coding RNAs, differential expression analysis also uncovered transcripts, which have not previously been implicated in colon cancer, such as RNA5SP149, RNU4-2 and SNORD3A...
