  1. Variance components are summarised as percentages of the total variance. Therefore the median peak can be characterised as consisting of approximately 49% technical variance (approximately 3.5% day of profile generation, 1% chip the replicate was generated from, 7% spot the replicate was generated from and 55% other sources) and 51% biological variance (approximately 50.95% within biological classes and 0.05% differences between them).
