Hierarchical analysis of expressed genes in canine mammary cancer of various grade of malignancy. Variation in expression of genes in 18 experimental samples. Data are presented in a matrix format: each row represents a single gene, and each column an experimental sample. In each sample, the ratio of the abundance of transcripts of each gene to the median abundance of the gene’s transcript across all tissue samples, is represented by the colour of the corresponding cell in the matrix. Green squares, transcript levels below the median; red squares, transcript levels greater than the median. Colour saturation reflects the magnitude of the ratio relative to the median for each set of samples.
