Hierarchical cluster analysis on the 73 genes whose expression suggest particular relevance to the biology of the IMF depot. This list was generated by seeking genes that satisfied two criteria, higher expression in IMF than LD by any amount, and higher expression in IMF than SC by at least 2 fold. The hierarchical clustering on tissues supports the selected gene list as being IMF diagnostic given the first branch in the tree separates the IMF samples from not only the other fat depots but the LD muscle samples too. The clustering on genes identifies positive patterns of co-expression across the treatments
