Figure 5From: Phase Coupled Meta-analysis: sensitive detection of oscillations in cell cycle gene expression, as applied to fission yeastDifference of PCM scores with real and random phases. For each gene, the PCM score was computed as sum of vectors (see Methods). Then for the same gene, a random-phase PCM score was computed as sum of vectors with the original magnitudes but randomly-chosen phase angles. For every gene, the difference between its original PCM score and its random-phase PCM score was then computed, and plotted in increasing order from left to right. To the right of the dotted line are 3,200 genes where the difference is positive; i.e., for these genes, the cell cycle phases of peak expression in the time courses are less variable than the randomly distributed phases.Back to article page
