Gene expression profiles for the functions macromolecule catabolism, response to desiccation, and biopolymer metabolism. Profiles were obtained for all those genes in the functional groups of catabolism, response to desiccation, and biopolymer metabolism that have a larger number of points in the neighborhood than any of the points in the histograms for the random subset (blue tails in the histograms). The individual genes that form this group are indicated in the inserted legends. The numbers on the x-axis symbolize the individual two-component systems. The order of two-component systems (attributes) is identical to the original data set [16]. The following two-component systems are discussed in the text: #3 is OmpR/EnvZ, #4 is BasSR, #9 is YfhA, #15 is UvrY, #16 is YpdAB, #19 is DcuSR, #20 is NtrBC, and #22 is ArcB.
