Multi-study integration of brain cancer transcriptomes reveals organ-level molecular signatures.

We utilized abundant transcriptomic data for the primary classes of brain cancers to study the feasibility of separating all of these diseases simultaneously based on molecular data alone. These signatures were based on a new method reported herein--Identification of Structured Signatures and Classi...
