We performed expression profiling of 36 types of normal human tissues and identified 2,503 tissue-specific genes. We then systematically studied the expression of these genes in cancers by re-analyzing a large collection of published DNA microarray datasets. Our study shows that integration of each gene's breadth of expression (BOE) in normal tissues is important for biological interpretation of the expression profiles of cancers in terms of tumor differentiation, cell lineage and metastasis.

View SamplesTTF-1/NKX2-1 was expressed by adenoviral vector and changes in gene expression were determined by RNA-sequencing. Overall design: A549 cells were infected with Ad-TTF-1 or Ad-LacZ vectors and stimulated with TGF-beta for 24 hours or left untreated. Expression of polyA RNA was determined.

View SamplesThe aim of this study is to identify responders to FOLFOX therapy by applying the Random Forests (RF) algorithm to gene expression data. Eighty-three unresectable colorectal cancer (CRC) patients including 42 responders and 41 non-responders were divided into training (54 patients) and test (29 patients) sets.
