Abstract

Identification of biologically and clinically consequential subtypes within tumor types is a long-standing goal of cancer bioinformatics. Here we provide practical guidance to the use of a recently developed statistical subtyping tool, termed Tree Branches Evaluated Statistically for Tightness (TBEST), and its eponymous R language implementation. TBEST employs hierarchical clustering to partition the data at a user-specified level of significance. Functionalities of the package are illustrated using as an example a benchmark data set of mRNA expression levels in leukemia.
