Question: An article in Nature Genetics [Treatment-specifi c Changes in Gene Expression Discriminate in Vivo Drug Response in Human Leukemia Cells (2003, Vol. 34(1), pp. 8590)]

An article in Nature Genetics [€œTreatment-specifi c 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 Table 6E.1. Construct a box plot for each group of patients. Write an interpretation to compare the information in these plots.
