Identification of steps and average deviation from the true step positions by StepMiner with replication versus the addition of more time points

Type	True	Missed	False	Average
	Step	Step	Step	Deviation(Min)
Addition	99%	1%	8%	11
Replication	100%	0%	8%	34

The Addition method uses 30 different time points. The Replication method uses 10 time points with three replicates. The analysis was performed on artificial data for 1000 genes with 500 single steps (Step height = 5σ) placed uniformly randomly across the time-course of 10 h. ‘True Step’ is the number of correctly identified steps. ‘Missed Step’ is number of steps missed. ‘False Step’ is the number of steps detected in random data.
