Abstract:
Epithelial ovarian cancers (EOC) can be defined across different histologic subtypes by specific DNA methylation profiles which correlate with outcome. Identification of distinct EOC methylation subgroups emphasizes the role of epigenetic remodeling to establish unique EOC etiology during transformation, and harbors the potential to direct personalized medicine and patient care.See related article by Bodelon et al., p. 5937.

Classifying Matter by Composition
According to its composition, the matter can be classified into two broad categories — pure substances and mixtures.
A pure substance is a form of matter that has a constant composition throughout with uniform properties. For example, any sample of sucrose has the same composition and same physical properties, such as melting point, color, and sweetness, regardless of the source from which it is isolated.
A mixture is composed of two or...

How Data are Classified: Categorical Data
Data are classified based on whether they are measurable or not. Categorical data cannot be measured; instead, it can be divided into categories. For example, if Y denotes a person's party affiliation, some examples of Y include...
