In contrast to the dot plot which shows one The profile plot displays probe(set)/gene per plot, the profile plot is used to visualize how the intensity values from multiple genes compare across all samples and genes.

We will invoke a Profile Plot profile plot from a gene list child spreadsheet with genes on rows. 

...

The profile plot will be displayed in a new tab (Figure 2). Lines are probe(sets)/genes and columns are rows/ samples from the parent spreadsheet.

A basic profile plot will likely need customization. The plot configuration, properties, and control options are the same as in Dot Plotshown for a dot plot. We will illustrate a few modifications here.
