NCI60

Format

The format is a list containing two elements: data and labs.

data is a 64 by 6830 matrix of the expression values while labs is a vector listing the cancer types for the 64 cell lines.

Source

The data come from Ross et al. (Nat Genet., 2000). More information can be obtained at http://genome-www.stanford.edu/nci60/
