Analysis of data from The Cancer Genome Atlas generates a pan-cancer network of 143 recurrent miRNA-target relationships. The identified miRNAs were frequently regulated by genetic and epigenetic alterations in cancer. The work also reveals that some miRNAs might coordinately regulate cancer pathways, such as miR-29 regulation of TET1 and TDG mRNAs, encoding components from the active DNA demethylation pathway.
