Figure 1. Overview of study design.
This Figure was modified from Figure 1a presented in the related research manuscript. The study was comprised of a training set and a test set with the text on the right detailing the experimental design. RNA-Seq was used to profile molecular events related to treatment of rats by each chemical; each chemical is known to associate with a specific mode of action (MOA). For each MOA there were three representative chemicals and three biological replicates per chemical. The training set consisted of 15 chemicals and 5 MOAs.The test set consisted of 12 chemicals and 4 MOAs. Of the 4 MOAs in the test set two (PPARA and CAR/PXR) appeared in the training set while the other two did not.
