Proteomes of colon and rectal tumors previously characterized by the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) were analyzed along with integrated proteogenomic analyses. Ninety-five TCGA tumor samples were used in this study from 90 patients, with 5 samples representing different portions from the same tumor. The samples originated from two TCGA cohorts: 64 are from Colon Adenocarcinoma (COAD) samples and 31 are from the Rectum Adenocarcinoma (READ) collection. The primary data from the liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) global proteomic profiling of each tumor sample is associated with a data set in the table below. Three protein assemblies are provided from different protein database searches.
TCGA_VU_N95
This assembly reflects the 95 TCGA samples for 90 tumors, spanning three search engines (MS-GF+, MyriMatch, and Pepitome), employing a standard RefSeq database and NIST spectral library.
TCGA_VU_N95_Custom
The Custom assembly represents the same samples, the sequence database has been augmented with nonsynonymous sequence variants detected by TCGA.
TCGA_VU_N95-Normal_VU_N60
The third assembly contains the searches of the 95 TCGA samples employed in the first assembly alongside the 60 normal colons analyzed by Vanderbilt University as a control, employing the same three search engines, a standard RefSeq database, and a NIST spectral library.
