Affymetrix 250K StyI SNP array data across multiple human cancer types

A powerful way to discover key genes playing causal roles in oncogenesis is to identify genomic regions that undergo frequent alteration in human cancers. We have reported high-resolution analyses of somatic copy-number alterations (SCNAs) from 3131 cancer specimens, belonging largely to 26 histological types. We identify 158 regions of focal SCNA that are altered at significant frequency across multiple cancer types, of which 122 cannot be explained by the presence of a known cancer target gene...

Provenance — who produced it, who reused it

Linked to 5 papers in the literature. Roles are inferred factual signals (who deposited the data vs who reused it), with counts — never a judgement about any author.

Standardized, field-standard QC computed by touching the data — every metric states how it was obtained

measured = computed from the data · extrapolated/reported = derived or from the repository · dq-1.0 · provisional — verify independently
