Abstract

BACKGROUND: The classic central dogma in biology is the information flow from DNA to mRNA to protein, yet complicated regulatory mechanisms underlying protein translation often lead to weak correlations between mRNA and protein abundances. This is particularly the case in cancer samples and when evaluating the same gene across multiple samples.
