GSE59612: MRI-localized biopsies reveal subtype-specific differences in molecular and cellular composition at the margins of glioblastoma

Bulk RNA sequencing

We obtained radiographically-localized biopsies during glioma resection surgeries to sample the tumor core and margins from multiple glioma patients. We also procured fresh, non-neoplastic brain tissue specimens from multiple patients having procedures to relieve epilespy symptoms or to place shunts to treat normal pressure hydrocephalus. We then used RNA-Seq to compare expression patterns between geographically distinct regions of gliomas and computational deconvolution to estimate cell type-specific expression patterns in different disease subtypes.
