Figure 1From: Transcript profiling of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) using the GeneChip®Soybean Genome Array: optimizing analysis by masking biased probesPrincipal component analysis of the GeneChip data from nodule, leaf, and root tissue samples of common bean and soybean before (A) and after (B) masking probes with a signal intensity threshold of 80. The first and second principal components together accounted for about 92% and 84% of the total variation in the data before and after masking, respectively. The percentages represent the variation explained by each principal component. Gm, Glycine max; Pv, Phaseolus vulgaris L.; Pv80, Phaseolus vulgaris L. after masking with signal intensity threshold 80.Back to article page
