BRAIN_EXPR {LINC} | R Documentation

## mRNA Expression Of Normal BRAIN From GTEX And TCGA

### Description

These datasets represent sample mRNA expression matrices of brain tissue with normal tissue from the Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) platform (ctx = Cortex, crbl = Cerebellum, phc = Hippocampus) and cancer tissue from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) platform (gbm = Glioblastoma).

### Usage

    data(BRAIN_EXPR)

### Format

Gene expression matrices and objects of the `LINC` class.

### Value

Rows represent genes and columns samples. Gene names are given as Entrez identifiers. For the normal tissue from GTEx, expression levels are in units of [FPKM], for cancer tissue from TCGA, the unit [RESM] is used to represent expression levels.
