How would I do a rank sum glycolytic score from tcga data?

Question

[mdc160030]

I am trying to create a graph similar to this:

The graph showing:

a comparison of glycolytic gene expression score between 2 different cancer phenotypes. Each tumor being assigned a rank for each glycolytic gene within the set of analyzed tumors. Summation of hte gene ranks was performed to generate the glycolytic expression score each patient.

I have mrna-seq data for patients separated by phenotype for a list of glycolytic genes, now I am not sure how to proceed with ranking these patients.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

See this post about boxplots with significance stars:

• Put stars on ggplot barplots and boxplots - to indicate the level of significance (p-value)
