Talk:Manhattan plot

Some editing

A few edits to this page:
- add a picture to give an example from a genome-wide association study (arbitrary data).
- edit out the reference to a bar graph, which it is not; a Manhattan plot is a scatter graph (at least they are in GWAS).
- edited out the part of the analogy suggesting that the "skyscrapers" appear in clusters, which is not required (but may be the case).
- added to the analogy of "skyscrapers" standing out from the surrounding buildings, which tend to vary around a lower level.

Not a scatterplot

Why is this being called a scatterplot? To me, "scatterplot" has always meant a finite set of points in the Cartesian plane. And what is the definition of "amplitude" of a data point in a scatterplot? I suspect what is meant is just the y-coordinate, but that's only because of some context, and is only weakly supported.
