Detection and analysis of dynamic patterns of diurnal expression of mammalian genes by O. V. Podkolodnaya, N. N. Tverdokhleb, N. L. Podkolodnyy

“…The distance between the genes was calculated by aligning the phases and fnding the maximum cross­correlation between the patterns of the daily expression of these genes by the cyclic shift. This approach allowed us to identify genes that have not only expression patterns with a single maximum (sinusoidal, asymmetrical, shifted to the left or right, pulsed), but also complex composite signals with several extremes. …”
