“…Our GExCo (Gene Expression Correlation) analysis method is based on Spearman linear correlation to monitor covariations between a number of gene parameters and gene expression levels along a time series. Similarly to the protein characteristics study (Sharabiani et al, 2005), clear correlations were evident for all the studied experiments, which contain high-quality datasets for human T cell stimulation (Diehn et al, 2002) and B cell stimulation (Ollila and Vihinen, 2002;Ollila and Vihinen, 2003), innate immune response to infection by L. monocytogenes (Baldwin et al, 2003), human (Whitfield et al, 2002) and yeast cell cycle data (Spellman et al, 1998), and D. melanogaster life cycle data (Arbeitman et al, 2002).…”
