## Subset of NKI dataset containing gene expression, annotations and clinical data.

### Description

This dataset contains a subset of the gene expression, annotations and clinical data from the NKI datasets (see section details). The subset contains the seven genes introduced by Desmedt et al. 2008

### Format

ExpressionSet with 7 features and 337 samples, containing:

- `exprs(nki7g)`: Matrix containing gene expressions as measured by Agilent technology (dual-channel, oligonucleotides).

- `fData(nki7g)`: AnnotatedDataFrame containing annotations of Agilent microarray platform.

- `pData(nki7g)`: AnnotatedDataFrame containing Clinical information of the breast cancer patients whose tumors were hybridized.

- `experimentalData(nki7g)`: MIAME object containing information about the dataset.

- `annotation(nki7g)`: Name of the agilent chip.

### Details

This dataset represents a subset of the study published by van't Veer et al. 2002 and van de Vijver et al. 2002. The subset contains the genes AURKA (also known as STK6, STK7, or STK15), PLAU (also known as UPA), STAT1, VEGF, CASP3, ESR1, and ERBB2, as introduced by Desmedt et al. 2008. The seven genes represent the proliferation, tumor invasion/metastasis, immune response, angiogenesis, apoptosis phenotypes, and the ER and HER2 signaling, respectively.
