Dataset
-
18,838 genes
-
103 IPF samples
- 36 from surgical biopsies
- 67 from lungs removed during transplant
-
103 non-IPF controls
- 41 from normal portion of lung cancer biopsies
- 62 from deceases organ donors without lung disease
-
Quantifying how much mRNA content (fragments of cDNA) was found for each gene in each sample.
- Higher value indicated more expression.
- Differential Expression Analysis
- Finding genes with differences in expression between two conditions.
