From: Gene Expression in Atherosclerotic Lesion of ApoE Deficient Mice
The gene expression profile during the development of atherosclerosis in ApoE-/- mice is shown in self-organizing maps (SOM). A 4 3 2 SOM summarizes the expression pattern of 370 genes using GENECLUSTER. Genes were submitted as ratios ApoE-/- versus C57BL/6 for 10 and 20 weeks and an imaginary ratio (5 1) as starting point for treatment (see results). The thick line indicates the mean of the ration of the genes in the cluster (n 5 number of genes per cluster) and the standard deviation. The thin lines indicate the minimum and maximum values.
