Description

The Color Mosaic displays a heat map of a microarray set. Microarrays are displayed in the columns, and markers are displayed in the rows. It can render the entire set, or subset of markers and microarrays can be rendered. Active phenotype and gene selections are labelled in the color mosaic. If the result of T-Test or similar significance test is visualized, the associated p-values can also be included in the display.
