Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma (PAAD) is the third most common cause of death from cancer, with an overall 5-year survival rate of less than 5%, and is predicted to become the second leading cause of cancer mortality in the United States by 2030.
Here we had a dataset of normalized RNA Sequencing reads for pancreatic cancer tumors. The measurement consists of ~20,000 genes for 185 pancreatic cancer tumors.
- Read data from GCT file, a tab-delimited file used for sharing gene expression data and metadata (details for each sample) for samples.
- Remove genes with NaNs
- Generate gene expression distribution for all samples.
- Visualize the data whole data using PCA and analyze the variance of PCA
- Analyse the general behavior of the different samples
- Remove the neuroendocrine tumors from the dataset so that it contains only the adenocarcinoma tumor samples
- Plot the gene expression values for these genes for pancreatic adenocarcinoma
- Unsupervised clustering on the gene expression data
