Abstract:
A method for displaying microarray information via a three-dimensional graph by which information of accumulated luminescent intensities of numerous sample spots obtained by a microarray analysis is displayed, the method comprising the steps of:selecting a set of samples as subjects of tests under different conditions; spotting the same set of samples on each of a plurality of microarrays each for performing one of the tests; acquiring accumulated luminescent intensities of the sample spots on each of the plurality of microarrays, the sample spots correspond to the same set of samples; sorting the sample spots on each of the plurality of microarrays in an identical manner and/or the plurality of microarrays to which the sample spots belong under predetermined conditions; and displaying a three-dimensional graph by assigning the sample spots sorted in the sorting step to a first axis and the microarrays sorted in the sorting step to a second axis, and the accumulated luminescent intensities to a third axis, wherein the first, second and third axes define the three-dimensional graph.
