Abstract

BACKGROUND: Glioblastoma (GBM) can be divided into subtypes according to their genomic features, including Proneural (PN), Neural (NE), Classical (CL) and Mesenchymal (ME). However, it is a difficult task to unify various genomic expression profiles which were standardized with various procedures from different studies and to manually classify a given GBM sample into a subtype.
