Illustration of expression data. To examine the global expression profile, the genes expression status in multiple cancer entities is rendered in the same way, as in Fig. 1a. Further, a waterfall plot, as shown in (a), is rendered for each cancer entity including the genes KRAS, EGFR and TTF1, outlining the patients exceeding a user given threshold for the genes expression on the x-axis, with the expression level on the y-axis. This plot is available in an entity (shown here) or a gene centric view. Further, Web-TCGA provides entity wise box plots (b), depicting an overview for the expression status of a cancer entity and enabling the identification of the expression patterns per cancer entity
