DATASET 1 _ Melanoma survival study

Supplementary Dataset 1 - Description By means of bioinformatics analyses (UALCAN at ualcan.path.uab.edu/ and GEPIA2 at gepia2.cancer-pku.cn/#index) of online available datasets from cancer patients (TCGA collection), we generated a list of 3,498 gene whose expression was significantly different (p<0.05) between skin melanoma patients with high- or low-expression of genes which then were ordered according to the value of the S-Ratio calculated as described within the text of the manuscript.

According to this experimental design, just as an example, the gene LHB in 1st position of the list has a S-Ratio = 0.3430 which means that patients with higher expression of LHB behave a median survival (1,096 days) about 3 times shorter than patients with lower LHB expression (3,195 days). Similarly, the gene CCL8 in 3,498th position of the list has a S-Ratio = 3,2473 which means that patients with higher expression of CCL8 have a median survival (6,225 days) 3.2 times longer than patients with lower CCL8 expression (1,917 days).
