Popis: Brain metastasis in basal-like breast cancer poses a significant challenge in cancer management due to its aggressive nature and limited treatment options. This study conducted a comprehensive analysis to explore the potential role of circular RNAs (circRNAs) as members of endogenous networks in developing breast cancer brain metastasis.Here, we utilized RNA sequencing data from primary breast cancer and brain metastasis tissue with basal-like subtype (n = 11). After quality controlling and preprocessing of fastq files, gene expression of mRNA and circRNAs were extracted from matched samples and normalized. Then, we employed the weighted gene co-expression network analysis approach to identify brain metastasis-associated circRNA modules (SpearmanCorrelation>0.5, P−value
