Reduction of a hypothetical matrix of 10,000 genes for ten taxa to a similarity matrix (left) and recoding of the information into a character state matrix (right). (A) A diagram of compiled microarray results. (B) A hypothetical matrix of spot intensities from the array at the top. (C) The hypothetical similarity matrix obtained from transforming the 100,000 bits of information from the original array into the 43 pairwise similarity measures that are then used to construct a dendrogram. (D) A recoded character state matrix of 10,000 entries.
