The functional composition of the core diurnal transcriptome and expression phase similarity between all datasets. a The gene functional categories of the core diurnal gene set using the annotations provided by Cyanobase for Synechocystis 6803. b The comparison is carried out between all dataset combinations. Biological replicate experiments available for three cyanobacterial strains show a large number of shared oscillating genes as well as large correlation coefficients (red). The comparison of the stoeckel08 dataset (Cyanothece) with both Synechocystis datasets is marked in green. The remaining comparisons between various strains are shown in blue
