This user guide illustrates:

This user guide assumes the user is familiar with the hierarchy of spreadsheets and analysis in Partek^® Genomics Suite^®.

Many plots available in Partek Genomics Suite are not discussed in this user guide. A more thorough review of Partek Genomics Suite visualizations can be found in Chapter 6: The Pattern Visualization System of the Partek User's Manual available from Help > User’s Manual in the Partek Genomics Suite main toolbar.

There is no specific data set for this tutorial. You may use one of your own microarray experiments or use a data set from one of our tutorials.

Visualizations are generated using data from a spreadsheet. Some visualizations allow interactive filtering on the plot, but others do not. If you only wish to include certain rows or columns in a visualization, you may need to create a spreadsheet with only the rows or columns of interest by applying a filter and cloning the spreadsheet. 

In general, probe(set)/gene intensity values may be visualized from either an ANOVA spreadsheet or a filtered ANOVA spreadsheet. Because intensity data is stored in the parent spreadsheet, the parent and child spreadsheets should be visible in the spreadsheet navigator with the appropriate parent/child relationship (Figure 1).
