MethCORR was established by analysis of genome-wide correlations between gene expression and DNA methylation data for eleven cancer types of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) program.

RNA expression and DNA methylation data was acquired from the UCSC XENA database as “gene expression RNAseq IlluminaHiSeq" and "Methylation450k", respectively.

The included 11 cancer types are:

• BLAD (Bladder Urothelial Carcinoma)
• BRCA (Breast Invasive Carcinoma)
• ESCA (Esophageal Carcinoma)
• COREAD (Colorectal Adenocarcinoma)
• LUAD (Lung Adenocarcinoma)
• LUSC (Lung Squamous Cell Carcinoma)
• PRAD (Prostate Adenocarcinoma)
• KIRC (Kidney Renal Clear Cell Carcinoma)
• SKCM (Skin Cutaneous Melanoma)
• STAD (Stomach Adenocarcinoma)
• UCEC (Uterine Corpus Endometrial Carcinoma)
