Conditional transcriptional relationships may serve as cancer prognostic markers

Abstract Background While most differential coexpression (DC) methods are bound to quantify a single correlation value for a gene pair across multiple samples, a newly devised approach under the name Correlation by Individual Level Product (CILP) revolutionarily projects the summary correlation valu...
