Essay

Refer to the figure showing the steps used in microarray analysis to detect differences in expression between tumor tissue and normal tissue.The spots in the bottom panel represent individual genes for patients who have good prognoses (left) as well as for patients who have poor ones (right).The colors of those spots represent levels of expression: red = high expression, yellow = intermediate expression, green = low expression. Look at the lowest, left-most gene in both patterns.Does expression of this gene correlate with the prognoses? Explain your answer.
