Fig. 2From: A survey of tandem repeat instabilities and associated gene expression changes in 35 colorectal cancersSignificantly more genes with orphan and unstable repeats in tumors. Box plots of the number of genes a) with orphan repeats b) with unstable repeats in normal-normal genome pairs (left boxes, n = 595) and in tumor-matched normal genome pairs (right boxes, n = 35) in exons. Thick horizontal lines in each box mark the median, edges of boxes correspond to the 25th and 75th percentiles, and whiskers cover 99.3 % of the data’s range. The repeat incidences in each pair of boxes are significantly different from each other within each panel (WRS Test, P = 0.01, P = 0.04, in panels a and b)Back to article page
