Figure 2From: Expression profiling of cancerous and normal breast tissues identifies microRNAs that are differentially expressed in serum from patients with (metastatic) breast cancer and healthy volunteersHeatmap showing the result of an UHCA (Manhattan distance, Ward linkage) for all 373 miRNAs in all 92 samples. The miRNA-expression data are represented in matrix format, with rows indicating miRNAs and columns indicating samples. Overexpressed miRNAs are color-coded red, and repressed miRNAs are color-coded green. Color saturation indicates the level of overexpression. Six samples clusters could be discerned based on miRNA-expression differences, indicated by alternating blue and grey colors in the dendrogram. Underneath the sample dendrogram, the molecular-subtype classification is indicated (red, Basal-like; orange, ErbB2+; green, Luminal A; blue, Luminal B; gray, Normal-like). The true-normal breast samples are indicated by a darker shade of gray. The colored bar to the side of the heatmap indicates the array card to which the corresponding assay is allocated (red, A; blue, B).Back to article page
