Figure 3From: Cross-species hybridisation of human and bovine orthologous genes on high density cDNA microarrays Data reproducibility and species variability (A) Histograms of CVs for human and bovine hybridisations. (B) Classification of signal variability in measured gene expression intensities. Human (white), bovine (grey) and mixed samples (black). CVs (co-efficient of variation) were calculated for repeated signal intensities of the four independent hybridisations and then sub-divided into four classes: Class 1 – CV < 0.25 high reproducibility, Class 2 – CV [0.25 – 0.5] good reproducibility, Class 3 – CV [0.5 – 0.75] medium reproducibility Class 4 – CV > 0.75 poor reproducibility.Back to article page
