This data set uses the standard Rank Invariant method developed by Illumina and described in their BeadStation Studio documentation.

Sex of the samples was validated using sex-specific probe set: Xist (probe ILM106520068, also known as scl00213742.1_141-S).

Legend: Checking that the sex of samples was labeled correctly in mouse array data sets using Xist expression measured by probe ILM106520068. In this bar chart the expression of Xist is very low in LXS114 and has a low error term. This is because both arrays are male samples rather than 1 male and 1 female sample. In contrast LXS34 has very high expression and no error bar because the sample is from a single female pool.
