Overview
Introduction

This is the analysis overview for Firehose run "18 March 2013".

Summary

Note: These results are offered to the community as an additional reference point, enabling a wide range of cancer biologists, clinical investigators, and genome and computational scientists to easily incorporate TCGA into the backdrop of ongoing research. While every effort is made to ensure that Firehose input data and algorithms are of the highest possible quality, these analyses have not been reviewed by domain experts.

- Clustering Analyses

- Clustering of Methylation: consensus NMF
  View Report | The 3703 most variable methylated genes were selected based on variation. The variation cutoff are set for each tumor type empirically by fitting a bimodal distriution. For genes with multiple methylation probes, we chose the most variable one to represent the gene. Consensus NMF clustering of 31 samples and 3703 genes identified 2 subtypes with the stability of the clustering increasing for k = 2 to k = 8 and the average silhouette width calculation for selecting the robust clusters.

- Clustering of mRNAseq gene expression: consensus NMF
  View Report | The most robust consensus NMF clustering of 29 samples using the 1500 most variable genes was identified for k = 4 clusters. We computed the clustering for k = 2 to k = 8 and used the cophenetic correlation coefficient to determine the best solution.

- Clustering of mRNAseq gene expression: consensus hierarchical
  View Report | The 1500 most variable genes were selected. Consensus average linkage hierarchical clustering of 29 samples and 1500 genes identified 6 subtypes with the stability of the clustering increasing for k = 2 to k = 8 and the average silhouette width calculation for selecting the robust clusters.

- Clustering of miRseq expression: consensus NMF
  View Report | We filtered the data to 150 most variable miRs. Consensus NMF clustering of 30 samples and 150 miRs identified 2 subtypes with the stability of the clustering increasing for k = 2 to k = 8 and the average silhouette width calculation for selecting the robust clusters.

- Clustering of miRseq expression: consensus hierarchical
  View Report | We filtered the data to 150 most variable miRs. Consensus average linkage hierarchical clustering of 30 samples and 150 miRs identified 3 subtypes with the stability of the clustering increasing for k = 2 to k = 8 and the average silhouette width calculation for selecting the robust clusters.

- Correlation Analyses

- Correlation between mRNA expression and DNA methylation
  View Report | The top 25 correlated methylation probes per gene are displayed. Total number of matched samples = 29. Number of gene expression samples = 29. Number of methylation samples = 29.
