1. After you identified several genes whose expression changes, you investigate their expression
during the course of the disease by taking mRNA samples from patients during four stages. The
expression pattern of 90% of the patients is shown in the following table. Light grey means the gene
is expressed at a low level and black means the gene is extremely active at that stage.
