esGolub: Golub ExpressionSet

Description

This data comes originally from the gene expression data from Golub et al. (1999). The version included in the package is the one used and referenced in Brunet et al. (2004). The samples are from 27 patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and 11 patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

format

There are 3 covariates listed.

• Samples: The original sample labels.
• ALL.AML: Whether the patient had AML or ALL. It is afactorwith levelsc('ALL', 'AML').
• Cell: ALL arises from two different types of lymphocytes (T-cell and B-cell). This specifies which for the ALL patients; There is no such information for the AML samples. It is afactorwith levelsc('T-cell', 'B-cell', NA).

Details

The samples were assayed using Affymetrix Hgu6800 chips and the original data on the expression of 7129 genes (Affymetrix probes) are available on the Broad Institute web site (see references below).

The data in esGolub were obtained from the web page related to the paper from Brunet et al. (2004), which describes an application of Nonnegative Matrix Factorization to gene expression clustering. (see link in section Source).

They contain the 5,000 most highly varying genes according to their coefficient of variation, and were installed in an object of class ExpressionSet-class.
