BRAIN_EXPR: mRNA Expression Of Normal BRAIN From GTEX And TCGA

In LINC: co-expression of lincRNAs and protein-coding genes

Description

These datasets represent sample mRNA expression matrices of brain tissue with normal tissue from the Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) platform (ctx = Cortex, crbl = Cerebellum, phc = Hippocampus) and cancer tissue from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) platform (gbm = Glioblastoma).

Usage

data(BRAIN_EXPR)

Format

Gene expression matrices and objects of the LINC class.

Value

Rows represent genes and columns samples. Gene names are given as Entrez identifiers. For the normal tissue from GTEx, expression levels are in units of [FPKM], for cancer tissue from TCGA, the unit [RESM] is used to represent expression levels.
