_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Normalized gene expression data of 12 patients with colorectal
     cancer. Samples are taken from inside the tumours. Additionally,
     from same patients samples are taken from normal tissue, see
     'colon.normal'. The expression matrix is only an exemplary subset
     of 1747 probe sets associated with cell proliferation.
