Wellcome Image Awards: Gene Expression Analysis
by Dr. Hsien-Hsien Lei
Posted March 13, 2008 in DNA Fun
This image won a 2008 Wellcome Image Award which recognizes scientists who’ve created “stunning and beautiful images.”
Visualisation of large-scale gene expression studies, such as those carried out using DNA chip systems, to form a clustered gene expression network. Each dot represents a gene, and links between dots occur where there is a certain level of correlation between their expression patterns. Genes with very similar expression profiles link to many other dots and form clusters shown in the same colour. The clusters are 3-dimensional with larger dots existing in the foreground space and smaller ones further away.
