Screening feature genes of osteosarcoma with DNA microarray: a bioinformatic analysis.

To screen differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of Osteosarcoma (OS) by using the microarray expression profiles of tissues of normal person and patients with OS for early diagnosis and effective treatment of OS. We downloaded the gene expression profile of GES16088 from Gene Expression Omnibus database, including twenty samples from fourteen patients diagnosed with osteosarcoma and six normal samples as control groups. We identified the DEGs by Affy package in R language.
