E Pan-Cancer Proteomic Network-based Characterization of Breast and Gynecologic Cancers
E.1 Data description
The Gynecological and breast cancer (Pan-gyane) proteomics dataset was obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA, Weinstein et al. (2013)) and The Cancer Proteome Atlas (TCPA, Li et al. (2013)). The Pan-gyane proteomics contains four types of cancers including breast invasive carcinoma (BRCA), cervical squamous cell carcinoma and endocervical adenocarcinoma (CESC), ovarian serous cystadenocarcinoma (OV) and uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC). Abundance of 189 kinds of protein were measured across 1,941 patients from Weinstein et al. (2013) among which 892 patients had BRCA, 173 had CESC, 436 had OV and 440 had UCEC.
E.2 Preprocessing and application
All settings are same as in Section C.2, except that:
Four intrinsic factors: indicators of BRCA, CESC, OV, UCEC are included in the analyses.
Significantly strong correlation is defined as connection with FDR based p-values \(<0.01\) and magnitude \(\mid \rho \mid \geq 0.4\))
