• B)a pattern of fluorescence that indicates which cells are overproliferating.
• C)a pattern shared among some or all of the samples that indicates gene expression differing from control samples.
• D)a group of cDNAs that act differently from those on the rest of the grid.
• E)a group of cDNAs that match those in non-breast cancer control samples from the same population.
