Gene expression in cancer

Description

The data come from a National Cancer Institute study of gene expression in cell lines drawn from various sorts of cancer.

Usage

NCI60_tiny

Cancer

Format

The expression data, NCI60_tiny is a dataframe of 41,078 gene probes (rows) and 60 cell lines (columns). The first column, Probe gives the name of the Agilent microarray probe. Each of the remaining columns is named for a cell line. The value is the log-2 expression associated with that probe for the cell line.

Probe

the name of the Agilent microarray probe

For Cancer:

otherCellLine

a character vector giving the name of one cell line

cellLine

a character vector giving the name of another cell line

correlation

the correlation between the two cell lines. See cor

An object of class tbl_df (inherits from tbl, data.frame) with 1770 rows and 3 columns.

Details

Cancer gives information about each cell line.
