The Pathology Atlas provides the analysis of 17 major cancer types using data from 8,000 patients together with 5 million pathology-based images generated in-house. More than 2.5 petabytes of RNA-seq data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) were analyzed, describing the effects of RNA and protein levels on clinical survival. Survival Scatter plots, representing a new method for showing patient survival data, were introduced.
