Table 1. Overview of the experimental data sets.
name | number of samples | number of genes | in % | original publication | |
Leukemia | 47/25 | 3571 | 1445 | 40.46 | [19] |
Lymphoma | 58/19 | 7129 | 1739 | 24.39 | [20] |
Breast cancer | 44/34 | 4997 | 54 | 1.08 | [17] |
Prostate 1 | 50/52 | 6033 | 2393 | 35.26 | [21] |
Prostate 2 | 41/62 | 42129 | 595 | 1.40 | [22] |
For the determination of the number of differentially expressed genes () we use a t-test (from the R-package stats) and an FDR correction [15] (R-package qvalue). We count all genes with a q-value below 0.05.
