Phase and amplitude reproducibility of diurnal genes within cyanobacterial strains. Comparison of expression phase φ (top, [CT]) and amplitude A (bottom, [a.u.]) of diurnal genes shared between independent datasets of the same cyanobacterial strain. a Synechococcus datasets of Vijayan and colleagues [149] (x-axis) and Ito and coworkers [106] (y-axis), b Synechocystis in the datasets of Lehmann and coworkers [81] (x-axis) and Beck and colleagues [108] (y-axis), and c Cyanothece in Stöckel and colleagues [150] (x-axis) and Toepel and colleagues [151] (y-axis). The number of genes found to oscillate significantly and the corresponding Pearson correlation coefficient ρ between φ and A is provided below each panel, followed by the respective p-value for ρ differing from 0. For φ, the circular correlation coefficient ρccc is also provided. Axis labels are shown in the strain-specific color
