Biostatistics and Bioinformatics Applications for Cancer Research


Defining Samples with Signatures:

Sample Integrated Set Profile Analysis (SISPA)

How to define samples with a gene signature that is based on combined changes in expression, copy number, methylation, and variant allele frequencies?
SISPA

With SISPA, you can use:

  • Any combination of molecular data types
  • As few as five samples

With SISPA, you can define:

  • Samples with molecular changes based on a pathway/network
  • Cell lines with gemonic and IC50 changes
