Figure 1
Two-dimensional scatter-plot of the microarray results. Each dot represents average expression values for the same gene from control (wild type, WT) animals (horizontal axis) and from ABP-transgenic (TG) animals (vertical axis) on a log10 scale. Genes with similar expression levels appear along the first diagonal (the line y=x); genes with expression levels that are different in the two groups appear above and below this line, respectively; the larger the difference, the farther away the point will be from the y = x line. The two parallel green lines mark the limits for two-fold differences. This identifies 478 genes that are up-regulated at least 2-fold and 311 genes that are down-regulated at least 2-fold in the TG animals, compared to the WT.
