Table 3 Datasets used in the meta-analysis. Description of the 7 datasets used in the meta-analysis with the related reference to the study, specifying the size, the array/sequencing platform, the pre-processing approach used to normalize the data and the type of feature (for example, probeset ID, Refseq ID, Ensembl transcript/gene ID) considered to identified each gene analyzed

From: Signature literature review reveals AHCY, DPYSL3, and NME1 as the most recurrent prognostic genes for neuroblastoma
