Gene expression data were generated using the HTG EdgeSeq Precision Immuno-Oncology Panel (HTG Molecular Diagnostics, Inc., Tucson, AZ, USA), per the manufacturer’s instructions. The library was sequenced on the Illumina Nextseq 500 platform (Illumina, Inc., San Diego, CA, USA) and data were processed by HTG EdgeSeq parser software. Read count was normalized by library size to obtain count per million, which was then log transformed for downstream analysis [26 (link)]. “High” and “low” gene expression subgroups were defined using the median expression as the cutoff between groups.
