Gene expression in cancer.

Description

The data come from a National Cancer Institute study of gene expression in human cancer cell lines representing leukemia, melanoma and cancers of the lung, colon, brain, ovary, breast, prostate, and kidney.

The expression data, NCI60 is a dataframe of 41078 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.

'NCI60cells' gives information about each cell line.

Usage

data("NCI60")

Format

A data frame with 41,078 observations on 61 variables representing the 'probe' and the 60 cell lines drawn from various sorts of cancer.
