Description

This data set provides information about the genes included with the (partial) prostate cancer data set as part of the tail.rank.test package.

Usage

data(gene.info)

Format

A data frame with 2000 observations on the following 6 variables.

ArrayI.Spot

a numeric vector; where is this clone spotted on the old arrays

ArrayII.Spot

a numeric vector; where is this clone spotted on the new arrays

Clone.ID

a factor; the IMAGE clone identifier

Gene.Symbol

a factor; the official gene symbol

Cluster.ID

a factor; the UniGene cluster number

Accession

a factor; the GenBanlk accession number

Source

The data was originally described in the paper by Lapointe et al., and downloaded from the Stanford Microarray Database http://genome-www5.stanford.edu/. We randomly selected 2000 of the 42129 spots to include as demonstration data here.
