Figure 5. Most discriminative signaling pathways distinguishing different types of gliomas.

Figure 5

Overview of known cancer signaling pathways identified to show largely distinct patterns of overexpressed genes in oligodendrogliomas, astrocytomas and glioblastomas based on predictions of the AR(Inline graphic)-HMM(Inline graphic). The overlap of the top-ranking overexpressed genes with the specific signaling pathways is quantified from top 100 to top 600. Grey curves show random expectations with respect to the number of genes in a specific pathway. Robust systematic differences between the different types of gliomas are clearly visible.
