colon.tumour {GlobalAncova} | R Documentation

## Gene expression data

### Description

Normalized gene expression data of 12 patients with colorectal cancer. Samples are taken from inside the tumours. Additionally, from same patients samples are taken from normal tissue, see `colon.normal`. The expression matrix is only an exemplary subset of 1747 probe sets associated with cell proliferation.

### Usage

    data(colon.tumour)

### Format

The format is:
`num [1:1747, 1:12] 8.77 10.40 8.52 12.86 8.28 ...`
`- attr(*, "dimnames")=List of 2`
`..$ : chr [1:1747] "200808_s_at" "215706_x_at" "217185_s_at" "202136_at" ...`
`..$ : chr [1:12] "Co10.T.IT.83.F.CEL" "Co14.T.IT.88.F.CEL" "Co17.T.IT.563.F.CEL" "Co1.T.IT.30.F.CEL" ...`
