Figure 4

Genewise box plots. Visual inspection of two merged data sets using a gene-wise box plots. Boxplots of the randomly selected MYL4 gene are grouped by study and colored by the target biological variable of interest. On the left the two data sets are merged without any transformation and on the right the two data sets are merged by using the COMBAT method. After batch effect removal the distribution of the gene is much more similar between studies than without.
