In the plot, each dot is a sample of the original data. The Y-axis represents the log2 normalized intensity of the gene and the X-axis represents the different types of samples. The median expression of each group is different from each other in this example. The median of the Down syndrome samples is ~6.3, but the median of the normal samples is ~6.0. The line inside the Box & Whiskers represents the median of the samples in a group. Placing the mouse cursor over a Box & Whiskers plot will show its median and range.

Now that you have obtained statistical results from the microarray experiment, you can create new spreadsheets containing just those genes that pass certain criteria. This will streamline data management by focusing on just those genes with the most significant differential expression or substantial fold change. The List Manager can be used to specify numerous conditions for selecting genes of interest. In this tutorial, we are going to create a gene list of gene with a fold change between -1.3 to 1.3 that has an unadjusted p-value of < 0.0005.
