\title{ Gene expression data }
\description{
Normalized gene expression data of 12 patients with colorectal cancer.
Samples are taken from inside the tumours. Additionally, from same patients samples are
taken from normal tissue, see \code{\link{colon.normal}}. The expression matrix is only an
exemplary subset of 1747 probe sets associated with cell proliferation.
