FIGURE 3.
Identification of robust DEGs in the RRA analysis. (A) The lollipop chart showed the top 20 ranked genes identified by the RRA method. The red and blue dots represented the up- and down-regulated genes, respectively. Bigger dots represented higher ranks; (B) The heatmap showed the top 10 up- and down-regulated DEGs in five GEO series. Red represented high expression of DEGs in asthma patients, while blue represented low expression of DEGs in asthma patients. The numbers in the box indicated logarithmic fold changes in each dataset; (C) The circular heatmaps showed the chromosomal positions of all robust DEGs. The outer circle represented chromosomes, while the inner circle heatmaps represented logarithmic fold changes of all robust DEGs in five asthma microarray datasets.
