This is called a bee swarm plot. There are several submissions on the file exchange dealing with this. try http://blogs.mathworks.com/pick/2012/09/07/beeswarm-plot/ http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/37105-plot-spread-points--beeswarm-plot-

Looks like you could use scatter() to plot all the little dots. Be sure to use "hold on" if you call scatter for each cluster. You can also tell scatter what color of dots to use and what shape for the dots (diamonds, crosses, circles, squares, etc.).

scatter(wtx, wty);
hold on;
scatter(kox, koy);

You could then use line() to plot those bracket-shaped [ lines at the top, and you can use text() to add text labels at the desired location. You could use set() to set the tick mark labels:

set(gca,'XTickLabel','Control WT'|'Control KO'|'R-Ras38V KO');

You can use xlabel and ylabel to put titles along the axes and title() to put one on top:

xlabel('Genotype', 'FontSize', 18);
ylabel('Pericyte Coverage', 'FontSize', 18);
title('Gene Delivery', 'FontSize', 30);
