Image Plot: of expression across chip spatial layout

 

 

MvA Hexbin Plot: hexagons are colored based on number of points within the hexagons; this allows visualization of point density rather than seeing a large blob of points

 

Genes Present Plot: shows %genes present on each chip, according to Affymetrix definition of 'present'

Print-tip Boxplot: for chip with 16 print-tip regions. This shows need for print-tip normalization

RNA Degradation Plot: shows expression as a function of 3'-5' position of probes from CEL file. Slope of these lines indicates potential RNA degradation in the samples.

Principal components plot:
