Tree clustering of the wild-type and disruptants based on the Spearman’s correlation coefficient. In this two-dimensional graph, the values are color-coded where the scale moves from blue to gray for values between 0 and 1.0, and from gray to red for values between 1.0 and 5.0. The red and blue lines indicate mRNAs with values more or less than the average of all strains, respectively. The gray lines indicate the mRNAs with values close to the average of all strains. (A) Log phase. (B) Stationary phase. ‘Wild-dilution’ in (A) frepresents the sample which was harvested after dilution with hot medium (see Methods).
