Generalized associated plots (GAP) analysis of SARS patients samples. (A) Pair-wise Euclidean distance matrix that was sorted by a GAP using 52 genes with the highest discriminating power for AS groups revealed the minimum anti-Robinson events in the matrix, resulting in a smooth transition order of the AS and RS specimens from severely diseased to healthy states. AS (red ●); RS (red ○); NC (blue ▮). (B) Gene expression profile for the 52 discriminating genes displayed in the order obtained from the GAP method.
