Figure 1.

Expression of ASCL family genes in 21 types of cancer compared with normal tissue controls. The gene name of each channel is shown. Each gene was found in the tissue of origin, and the color gradient correlates with decreasing gene rank percentile. The search criteria threshold was set at P<0.01 with a fold change of >1.5 and a gene rank percentile of <10% for screening microarray datasets of cancer vs. normal cases. Cell color is determined by the best gene rank percentile for the analyses within the cell. Note: An analysis may be counted in more than one cancer type. ASCL, achaete-scute complex-like; CNS, central nervous system.
