Variation in Axes of variation among individuals. Top PC1 scores for the ten blood informative transcripts corresponding to a Axis 3 or b Axis 7 for the three biological replicates of each individual, showing that 87 % and 94 % of the variance in the scores was among individuals. Bottom Radar plots showing standardized Axis score for the seven major Axes indicated with negative values near the center, high positive value the periphery. c Average score for each woman in the study. d Three consecutive score profiles for individual Ce, showing consistency over time. e Three consecutive score profiles for individual Ac, showing deviation for two axes at the final sample (pink), suggesting a deviation in her health at that time
