| Cancer | Data sets | Essential genes | Uniquely essential genes |
|---|---|---|---|
| breast | 1 | 146 | 67 |
| Burkitt's lymphoma | 2 | 1897 | 198 |
| CML | 4 | 3210 | 1324 |

‘Essential genes’ (the 3rd column) are genes that are essential in any of the data set(s) of a particular cancer type; ‘Uniquely essential genes’ (the last column) are genes that are subset of ‘Essential genes’ but non-essential in any other collected human data sets.
