**1.** Click the thumbnail on the page.
- A new browser window will open up to display an enlarged heatmap image and gene tree of the clicked thumbnail image.
**2.** Check the array tree structure. Check the relationship among all the tumor groups..
**3.** Click on the gene annotations on the right.  A new window will open with a feature report page.
**4.** Close the Heatmap display window.

**Questions:**
**1.**  Review the dendrogram for the samples and identify possible clusters.  How does heatmap pattern distinguish the clusters?
**2.**  Review the test arrays not used in the PAM analysis and verify whether they cluster into the right tumor groups.
