Dear all, What test should be done on ~40 samples, each in triplicate, to determine which sample is the most different to all samples? and What test should be done to determine the two samples which are most different?

It's not a test, per se, but if I recall corrextly, the arrayQualityMetrics package has a figure which shows distances between arrays as a heat map, followed by "outlier" (by distance) detection. Perhaps you can take inspiration from that. -- Steve Lianoglou Graduate Student: Computational Systems Biology | Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center | Weill Medical College of Cornell University Contact Info: http://cbio.mskcc.org/~lianos/contact [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi Ali, >What test should be done to determine the two samples which are >most different? PCA (Principal component analysis) would be perfect for this purpose. There are some packages from bioconductor, R which performs it.

pcaMethods combined with rggobi is particularly good for this purpose.
