Table 3 Statistics of top-ranked drug targets. Column 2: Ranks by SCNrank Column. 3: cancer drug target information. Column 4: average expression values in tumor tissue samples. Column 5: average expression values in normal tissue samples. Column 6: log2 fold change of expression differences between tumor group and tissue group. Column 7: T value from T-test between tumor and normal group. Column 8: P-value from T-test between tumor and normal group. Column 9: gene essentiality value (cell survival rate at T3 versus at T0). Positive values and negative values indicate an enhanced and reduced cell survival rate respectively in vitro
