Figure 1

Hierarchical clustering and gene ontology (GO) enrichment of 2320 genes differentially expressed between ovarian surface epithelial cells and ovarian cancer epithelial tissue. The heat map (left) was generated by Z-score normalization of log2 expression values from Affymetrix HGU133 Plus 2.0 3. Displayed are the relative expression levels of genes (rows) differentially expressed (red = relatively over-expressed; green = relatively under-expressed) in 12 ovarian surface epithelial brushings and 12 laser capture microdissected malignant epithelia samples (columns). Unique, enriched GO terms are listed for each set of differentially expressed genes and their statistical significance by false discovery rate (FDR) corrected, hypergeometric distribution p-values. Genes overexpressed in CEPI are labeled as CEPI Genes overexpressed in OSE are labeled OSE Genes.
