Figure 7

Box plots of RMS deviations for microarray hybridization pairs. (a) RMS deviations of all possible hybridization pairs of the same cell type. Box plots show the distribution of RMS deviations calculated from all possible pairs of hybridizations done with the same cell type, and sorted by prep type, prep replicate, and hybridization day. Plots show the combined results from HeLa and ZR-75-1 cells. Each replicate pair RMS deviation is indicated by a black dot. The ends of the box represent the 25th and 75th quartiles, while the line through the center of the box represents the median. The whiskers from each box extend to the outermost data point included in the range from the upper quartile plus 1.5*(interquartile range) to the lower quartile minus 1.5*(interquartile range). The line across the entire plot indicates the mean of all the values. Values of the mean and standard deviations for each set of values are shown at the bottom of the plot. (b) RMS deviations of all prep replicate hybridization pairs, sorted by prep type. Box plots of the RMS deviations for all the pair-wise comparisons of hybridizations using replicates of the same prep type, and sorted by prep type. Plots show the combined results from HeLa and ZR-75-1 cells. Box plot details are as in Figure 7a.
