Clustering of samples of worms exposed to standardized concentrations of dichlorvos, fenamiphos, and mefloquine. Principal components analysis plot depicting the clustering of samples of worms exposed to standardized concentrations of the three toxicants based on gene expression levels. Three replicates are shown. Nominal concentration classes are indicated in color, and chemical exposure groups (including respective controls) are indicated by shapes. Low, medium, and high concentrations refer to EC₁₀, EC₅₀, and EC₉₀ from the developmental inhibition assay. A support vector machine (SVM) trained on a data set lacking dichlorvos exposed worms was used to classify the samples based on gene expression levels. Samples which the SVM predicts to have the same concentration level are joined by lines to a centroid. The percent variance in the data explained by each principal component is shown in parentheses.
