Journal ArticleDOI

DTD: An R Package for Digital Tissue Deconvolution.

TL;DR: Loss-function learning adapts DTD to a specific tissue context, such as the deconvolution of blood, or a specific type of tumor tissue, and applies the DTD models to new data.
Journal ArticleDOI

Validation Study: Response-Predictive Gene Expression Profiling of Glioma Progenitor Cells In Vitro.

TL;DR: The gene signature published from a construction set of 18 glioma progenitor cells enhanced for brain tumor initiating cells exhibited good prediction accuracy in cross validation but was not able to validate the signature in an independent validation data set.
Journal ArticleDOI

Learning from Embryogenesis-A Comparative Expression Analysis in Melanoblast Differentiation and Tumorigenesis Reveals miRNAs Driving Melanoma Development.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify microRNAs (miRNAs) that promote melanoma tumorigenesis and progression, based on an in vitro model of normal human epidermal melanocyte (NHEM) de-differentiation into melanoblast-like cells (MBrCs).
