Figure 3

Rank-based visualization of time series data. Yeast cell cycle data displayed (a) traditionally and (b) using our rank-based method. In the traditional visualization the top 4 genes (within the purple box) appear to be very different from the rest of the genes in this cluster. However, using the rank-based method it becomes clear that these genes follow the same general pattern of the entire cluster, with initially low expression building up to highest expression in the central time points and then falling to roughly middle values.
