ProstateMethylation_df: DNA Methylation Data from Patients Prostate Cancer

In OncoDataSets: A Comprehensive Collection of Cancer Types and Cancer-Related Datasets

DNA Methylation Data from Patients Prostate Cancer

Description

This dataset, ProstateMethylation_df, is a data frame containing pre-processed beta methylation values collected from two sample types (benign and tumor tissue) of 4 patients diagnosed with prostate cancer. The dataset can be used for analyses of methylation patterns in benign versus tumor tissues in prostate cancer cases.

Usage

data(ProstateMethylation_df)

Format

A data frame with 5067 observations and 9 variables:

IlmnID

Unique identifier for the methylation probe (character).

FFPE_benign_1

Beta methylation value for benign tissue, patient 1 (numeric).

FFPE_benign_2

Beta methylation value for benign tissue, patient 2 (numeric).

FFPE_benign_3

Beta methylation value for benign tissue, patient 3 (numeric).

FFPE_benign_4

Beta methylation value for benign tissue, patient 4 (numeric).

FFPE_tumour_1

Beta methylation value for tumor tissue, patient 1 (numeric).

FFPE_tumour_2

Beta methylation value for tumor tissue, patient 2 (numeric).

FFPE_tumour_3

Beta methylation value for tumor tissue, patient 3 (numeric).

FFPE_tumour_4

Beta methylation value for tumor tissue, patient 4 (numeric).
