Figure 1From: Molecular differential diagnosis of follicular thyroid carcinoma and adenoma based on gene expression profiling by using formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues Analysis pipeline. First, datasets were collected. Second, the micorarray dataset A was analyzed and 99 genes were selected. Third, the microarray dataset B was analyzed for further selection of 8 genes and classifier cross-validation. Next, qPCR dataset C was analyzed in order to validate the classifier. Finally, public datasets D, E1 and E2 were analysed to test the classifier.Back to article page
