Figure 2 Box-whisker plots representing the distribution of average 24-chromosome four-loci copy number standard deviations for each of the 42 cell line samples and 71 blastocyst biopsies. For each sample type, one outlier was identified, including the only cell line sample with an inconsistent qPCR diagnosis.
