Figure 2

Hierarchical clustering analysis. The cluster analysis shows the presence of two different clusters composed respectively by 157 up-regulated transcripts (cluster 1) and 440 down-regulated genes (cluster 2). In the figure, all the relevant genes are grouped according to their expression values, shown as log ratios. Each row corresponds to one gene, each column to the different 6 microarray experiments. The quantitative changes in gene expression across all the samples are represented in different colors: red indicates over-expressed genes, and green indicates down-regulated genes. Black bars indicate no changes in gene expression. Missing data points are represented as gray bars. The top labels indicate the different experiments.
