Tumor MicroEnvironment expression signatures

DOI

Overview

Contains functions to generate gene expression signature values from (1) an expression matrix and (2) a list of genes.

calculateBuffa calculates a hypoxia signature from Buffa et al (2010).[1]

calculateMitoscore calculates a hypoxia signature from Benej et al (submitted).[2]

calculateAvgZScore calculates one or more signatures for which a vector of genes is z-score transformed and then the mean is reported.

calculateSCN calculates a Small Cell Neuroendocrine phenotype score from Balanis et al. (2019). [3]

Please see the user manual for more information.
