  1. The 18 datasets used in the meta-analysis are described with regard to the platform used in the original experiment, the number of unique genes represented in the platform, the number of genes significantly (sig) dysregulated in metastases compared with primaries with a Q-value < 0.1, the number of samples that are primary tumors or distant metastases (mets), and the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) Accession number.
