Statistical Methods
A researcher is carrying out a genomic study on 4 different tissues (1, 2, 3, & 4) in humans (with appropriate ethics board approval). Tissue samples are collected from a random representative sample of 20 people, the DNA is extracted and purified and then 20 plates (each with 4 wells)
are used to measure DNA up-regulation. Each plate receives 4 different tissue samples from a person. The plates, with the pre-assigned necessary reagents were purchased from a single commercial supplier (to minimize any differences amongst the plates in their expression levels). The following data were recorded:
