Chapter 5 Performing an RQ Study<br />

Analyzing and Viewing the Results of the RQ Study<br />

Viewing Gene<br />

Expression Plots<br />

Gene Expression plots show the expression level or fold-difference of the target sample<br />

relative to the calibrator as log 10 of the 2 −∆∆Ct value. For example, if the bladder has a<br />

log10 relative quantification value of 5 relative to the kidney, then that gene (detector) is<br />

expressed at a level five times higher in the bladder than in the kidney.<br />

Note: Because the calibrator is compared to itself, the expression level for the calibrator<br />

is always 1.<br />

View/Description To view the plot... Example<br />

Gene Expression Plot<br />

Orientation: Detector<br />

Detectors are plotted on the x-axis,<br />

and each bar shows the detector<br />

value of a given sample.<br />

1. In the RQ Results panel,<br />

select the Gene<br />

Expression tab.<br />

2. In the Orientation dropdown<br />

list, select Detector.<br />

Gene Expression Plot<br />

Orientation: Sample<br />

Samples are plotted on the x-axis,<br />

and each bar shows the set of<br />

sample values of a given detector.<br />

1. In the RQ Results panel,<br />

select the Gene<br />

Expression tab.<br />

2. In the Orientation dropdown<br />

list, select Sample.<br />
