Fig. 6: 2D t-SNE clustering of 32 TCGA projects.
From: Uniform genomic data analysis in the NCI Genomic Data Commons

Combined genomic and epigenomic signals of 4 data types from each TCGA patient, including somatic gene-level copy number, somatic RNA expression, somatic miRNA expression and somatic DNA CpG methylation patterns, are aggregated and superimposed into a 2-dimensional space using t-SNE algorithm. Each dot in the plot represents one patient, and patients from different TCGA projects (and cancer types) are distinguished color and shape of the dot.
