## Gene expression dataset from Golub et al. (1999)

### Description

Gene expression data (3051 genes and 38 tumor mRNA samples) from the leukemia microarray study of Golub et al. (1999). Pre-processing was done as described in Dudoit et al. (2002). The R code for pre-processing is available in the file ../doc/golub.R.

### Usage

    data(golub)

### Value

`golub` | matrix of gene expression levels for the 38 tumor mRNA samples, rows correspond to genes (3051 genes) and columns to mRNA samples.
`golub.cl` | numeric vector indicating the tumor class, 27 acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cases (code 0) and 11 acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cases (code 1).
`golub.gnames` | a matrix containing the names of the 3051 genes for the expression matrix `golub`. The three columns correspond to the gene `index`, `ID`, and `Name`, respectively.
