Figure 5

Difference 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.
