Figure 1From: Smoking-induced gene expression changes in the bronchial airway are reflected in nasal and buccal epitheliumPrincipal component analysis of 2382 genes from the normal bronchial airway transcriptome across 11 tissue datasets. Principal component analysis (PCA) of the expression of 2382 genes from the never-smoker bronchial-airway transcriptome [8] in samples from 11 different tissue datasets. Bronchial and nasal epithelial samples group together along the first and second principal components (representing 66% and 12% of the variance in gene expression respectively) based on the expression of these genes. Tissue types are color-coded.Back to article page
