Figure 5

Venn diagram of pairwise comparisons. Among ANOVA significant (p ≤ 0.05) genes from the Blalock et al., 2003 study, all possible pairwise comparisons were applied using Fisher's PLSD. The Venn diagram shows the number of ANOVA significant genes that were significant in at least one pairwise comparison, and notes overlap (direction of change was ignored). Interestingly, although all pairwise comparisons had an equal probability of detecting genes, the Young vs. Aged comparison was clearly the strongest comparison, and Mid-Aged vs. Aged was clearly the weakest.
