Benchmark Multi-Omics Datasets for Methods Comparison

Pathway Multi-Omics Simulated Data

These are synthetic variations of the TCGA COADREAD data set (original data available at http://linkedomics.org/data_download/TCGA-COADREAD/). This data set is used as a comprehensive benchmark data set to compare multi-omics tools in the manuscript "pathwayMultiomics: An R package for efficient integrative analysis of multi-omics datasets with matched or un-matched samples".

There are 100 sets (stored as 100 sub-folders, the first 50 in "pt1" and the second 50 in "pt2") of random modifications to centred and scaled copy number, gene expression, and proteomics data saved as compressed data files for the R programming language. These data sets are stored in subfolders labelled "sim001", "sim002", ..., "sim100". Each folder contains the following contents: 1) "indicatorMatricesXXX_ls.RDS" is a list of simple triplet matrices showing which genes (in which pathways) and which samples received the synthetic treatment (where XXX is the simulation run label: 001, 002, ...), (2) "CNV_partitionA_deltaB.RDS" is the synthetically modified copy number variation data (where A represents the proportion of genes in each gene set to receive the synthetic treatment [partition 1 is 20%, 2 is 40%, 3 is 60% and 4 is 80%] and B is the signal strength in units of standard deviations), (3) "RNAseq_partitionA_deltaB.RDS" is the synthetically modified gene expression data (same parameter legend as CNV), and (4) "Prot_partitionA_deltaB.RDS" is the synthetically modified protein expression data (same parameter legend as CNV).
