Transcriptome profiling and unsupervised analyses were used by several groups to identify candidate molecular subtypes of bladder cancer. Cross comparisons of the results obtained by 4 of the groups are presented above as examples. These comparisons are meant to be illustrative rather than definitive, but they show how the overall concordance among the approaches was very high. Also see Aine et al., Sci Rep 2015 [37] for a more detailed analysis.
