A two-color clustergram generated after hierarchical clustering of gene expression data (Affymetrix U95A) across 21 tumor samples collected from patients with mesothelioma. Clustering has been performed in only the X axis, such that samples are grouped based upon similarity in overall gene expression (the identified sample sub-groups are color coded). The gene expression data has been mean centered, such that degrees of red and green indicate relatively high and low expression of the corresponding gene respectively, while black represents the mean value across samples. In this fashion, the relative expression of many genes can be readily visualized across several samples simultaneously, and the relationships between samples observed.
