OCTOBER 21 TO 23
Fiction. No real student, family or grade appears.
Straight into the lab after two days off, working real expression data. Which genes are turned up, which are turned down, compared against a control.
Reading a heat map, where colour is intensity and the pattern is the finding. Red up, green down, clustered so similar things sit together.
MR. MENDOZA
Three genes is not a pattern. It is a coincidence with good graphic design.
Expression table, heat map, claim, and a limitations line about multiple comparisons.
