Assignment 1A is part of a two-part assignment. 1A is a take-home which must be submitted through the portal by the cut-off time. The second part of the assignment (Assignment 1B) will be conducted in-class as a quiz, using the data from 1A.

Assignment 1A :

Montgomery ;6.4.9 An article in Nature Genetics [“Treatment-specific Changes in Gene Expression Discriminate In Vivo Drug Response in Human Leukemia Cells” (2003, Vol. 34(1), pp. 85–90)] studied gene expression as a function of treatments for leukemia. One group received a high dose of the drug, while the control group received no treatment. Expression data (measures of gene activity) from one gene are shown in the excel file “Gene data”. ;

Using this data create a report which graphically and statistically describes the data and then state if you think there is a difference between the 2 groups. What issues do you see in evaluating this data? This report should be no longer than 1 page of written text (no smaller than 11 font). Plus a maximum of 4 tables, graphs or figures (in total).
