All of the hits had detectable transcripts in most of the samples except for ANKRD36BP1, EIF1AD and ENKUR. When the expression levels of hits (Figure 4A, Supplementary Figure S3A) and EMT marker controls (Supplementary Figure S3B) were compared across tumour subtypes, several of the hits (Figure 4A) had higher median level of expression in some tumour subtypes compared to normal tissue. Here, EIF1AD is linked to neoplasm.
