Flowchart summarizing the strategy of candidate genes selection. First, a total of 818 genes with more than 50% frequency of chromosome alteration were analyzed by MetaCore software. Second, the candidate genes analyzed with MetaCore were further integrated with the gene expression database. Integrating our array-CGH database with the expression array databases, 134 genes showing correlation between DNA copy number and mRNA expression patterns were found. Finally, literature search was performed to select 54 novel lung cancer candidate genes for following validation assays at the DNA, and RNA levels.
