RNAseq data in the transcripts per million (TPM) format from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) (https://portal.gdc.cancer.gov/) and The Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) (https://gtexportal.org/) were uniformly processed using the Toil process (20 (link)). Through extraction of the cervical squamous cell carcinoma and endocervical adenocarcinoma (CESC) data in TCGA and corresponding normal tissue data in GTEx, the 306 cervical tumor samples were classified as the malignant group and the three samples adjacent to cancer from TCGA together with the 10 normal cervix tissues from GTEx were classified as the non-malignant group. The RNAseq data in TPM format were log2 transformed for expression comparison between samples.
