Translating transcriptomic findings from cancer model systems to humans through joint dimension reduction

AJIVE integration captures biologically joint-acting and cohort-specific variation AJIVE is an extension of JIVE that employs the use of thresholded Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) to create low-dimension approximations of input data matrices (Fig. 1). Then, through utilizing Principal Angle Analysis, identifies low-dimension subspace bases that either share variation structure (Joint) or…

Plasmatic circRNA Predicting the Occurrence of Human Glioblastoma

Introduction Gliomas are defined as human malignant tumors derived from glial cells. Gliomas account for almost 80% of all malignant brain tumors.1 To date, gliomas have beendivided into four subgroups from I to IV according to the pathologic grading system.2 The prognosis was associated with the subgroup. For the gliomas, lower…

Role of CD68 in tumor immunity and prognosis prediction in pan-cancer

Expression of CD68 in pan-cancer First, to fully clarify the expression of CD68 in pan-cancer, we matched the GTEx normal samples with TCGA tumor samples (Fig. 1A). We found that the levels of CD68 were significantly elevated (P < 0.01) in colon adenocarcinoma (COAD), glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC),…
