We compared miR-210 expression in our published series of breast cancer [14] with our hypoxia metagene of clustered mRNAs [25] and combined assessment with target prediction algorithms showed ISCU was the highest predicted target, and three known target genes also sit in highly-ranked positions were selected by this approach (Supporting Material and Methods S1, Supporting Table S1).
