(a) Samples collected in hospital A in the PAXgene Tissue System. (b) Samples collected in hospital B in the PAXgene Tissue System. (c) Samples collected by snap-freezing in hospital A. (d) Samples collected by immediate freezing in hospital B. Can1: the first canonical variable – the linear combination of all genes that provides the greatest difference between class means.
