You are analyzing a gene expression matrix where each row is a gene and each column is a condition (Normal, Cancer A, Cancer B). You observe that Gene X is highly expressed in Cancer A but not in Normal or Cancer B. Question: What could be the most likely biological implication of this observation?

You observe that Gene A is upregulated in Cancer A and Cancer B but downregulated in Normal tissue. However, another gene, Gene B, shows the opposite pattern: it is upregulated in Normal but downregulated in both cancer types. Question: What is the most plausible biological relationship between Gene A and Gene B?
