Correlation Network Analysis Reveals Relationships between MicroRNAs, Transcription Factor T-bet, and Deregulated Cytokine/Chemokine-Receptor Network in Pulmonary Sarcoidosis

Figure 1

Hierarchical clustering of gene expression data. The rows represent individual (a) miRNAs and (b) mRNAs; the columns represent individual subject samples (1 column per sample) divided into three cohorts, such as sarcoidosis patients with progressing (red zone) and regressing (green zone) disease and control subjects (blue zone). The colour represents the gene expression level (blue: low expression, red: high expression); the expression levels are continuously mapped on the colour scale provided at the top of the figure. The analysis was performed using the R statistical software package (http://www.r-project.org/).
