Automation of cDNA Synthesis and Labelling Improves Reproducibility
Figure 3
Automation of cDNA synthesis and labelling produces a higher correlation between technical replicates. (a) Dendrogram and heatmap of Spearman’s rank correlation between manually labelled (gold cluster, KTH_Man) and automatically labelled (blue cluster, KTH_Auto1, and KTH_Auto2) samples. (b) Boxplot of the well-to-well reproducibility within experiments. Automatically labelled samples (blue boxes) are more highly correlated than manually labelled samples (gold box). Our automated approach also exhibited a higher correlation than between NMC and OPN experiments, but not higher than between the two NCI experiments.
