Additional File 1:

Microarray expression data of 7433 genes. The pre-processed expression data for all 7433 genes that were considered for subsequent analysis. The data are logarithms (base e) of expression ratios between each measurement and the mean value over all experiments with normal epithelia. Therefore, these log ratios indicate relative changes compared to normal epithelia. Positive values indicate up-regulation compared to normal epithelia. For further preprocessing steps see legend of Figure 1 in the manuscript.

Results from statistical tests for differential expression. These tables comprise results from statistical testing for differential gene expression and the annotations for all 7433 genes. The gene-wise p-values and Q-values of unpaired Welch test or the paired t-test (Benjamini-Hochberg method) for each sample group comparison are listed. The gene group memberships of each gene are separated by a colon in the respective column. KEGG, GenMAPP and GO categories for all genes were taken from the Affymetrix U133A DNA chip annotation http://netaffx.com webcite. All other gene groups were taken from the MSIGDB database http://www.broad.mit.edu/gsea/msigdb/msigdb_index.html webcite.

Significantly deregulated gene groups. Here we show the results of Fisher's Exact test for the over-representation of functional gene groups among up- or down-regulated genes in colorectal tumors of our study. To correct for multiple testing Q-values were calculated using the Benjamini-Hochberg method.
