Expression Profiling of Adult Male Germ Cell Tumors
Expression profiling of a panel of 101 adult male germ cell tumors and 5 normal testis specimens was performed on Affymetrix U133A and U133B microarrays. This data has been used to: 1) generate a gene classifier that predicts histology (see PMID 15870693). 2) identify candidate target genes on 12p, a region that is gained in almost 100% of germ cell tumors (see PMID 16424014) 3) identify pluripotency associated genes through comparison of pluripotent embryonal carcinoma vs. undifferentiated semi...

Deep data QC
metadata only · no data-level QC for this typeStandardized, field-standard QC computed by touching the data — every metric states how it was obtained
No quantitative QC rubric exists for this data type yet, so it is deliberately left unscored — this is an honest "not applicable", not a poor rating.
measured = computed from the data · extrapolated/reported = derived or from the repository · dq-1.0 · provisional — verify independently
