Breast Carcinoma Cells in Primary Tumors and Effusions Have Different Gene Array Profiles

Figure 2

Dendrogram . A dendrogram of a supervised analysis of 386 genes (horizontal rows) across 6 effusion versus six primary tumor replicates. Each cell in the matrix represents the expression level of a single transcript in a single sample. The supervised hierarchical clustering analysis clearly distinguished between effusion and control expression pattern. Red or green color indicates high or low transcript levels relative to threshold based on overall gene expression values across each array slide, respectively, while black color indicates equal to median level of expression.
