  1. aThe short name for the full name used in this paper
  2. bFor some signatures with 100% coverage (all signature genes were found in data set), the extracted gene No (Extract# column) is less than the reported gene No (gene# column) because some genes are duplicated with different probe names within a signature
  3. cThe subtype the signatures are developed for: ER+, the signature is used for ER-positive breast cancer; ER-, the signature is used for ER-negative breast cancer; uc-BC, the signature is used for un-classified breast cancer with mixed subtypes; TNBC, the signature is used for TNBC or basal breast cancer; HER2+, the signature is used for HER2-positive breast cancer
  4. dThe experimental platform used for developing the signatures
  5. eThe clinical purpose of these signatures: prognosis, the signature can be used for prognosis; prediction, the signature can be used for predicting the response to treatment or drug; subtyping, the signature can be used for further subtyping breast cancers
