Correlation analysis of genome-wide transcriptional response. Each data point corresponds, on the x-axis, to samples collected at 20 sec, 40 sec, 60 sec, 8 min, 16 min, 24 min, 32 min, 1 hr, 2 hr, 3 hr, 4 hr, 5 hr, 7 hr, 2^nd steady state after release from the nutrient limitation represented by the 1^st steady state. The y-axis corresponds to the measure of correlation between the specific time point indicated in the x-axis and the 1^st steady state using Pearson correlation as the distance metric.
