Graphic of the 4721 genes with significant Graphic in both LCL and WB samples. (A) (Solid line) ± one standard deviation from the mean Graphic; (dashed line) ± one standard deviation calculated from the expected sample variance given Graphic and Graphic. (B) The distribution of Graphic shown in A with the number of housekeeping genes (Zhu et al. 2008b) (see Results) within each Graphic bin shown in dark gray. The black line shows the percentage of genes within each Graphic bin that are housekeeping genes. We performed a Kolmogorov-Smirnov test for differences in the distributions of Graphic for housekeeping genes (dark gray) and non-housekeeping genes (light gray); the P-value is given in the figure.
